<<<<Want me to review everything for you to make sure it's okay? Need some extra help or guidance? Some users have asked me to give them feedback and review their files before they submit everything to the patent office. I used to do this for free but I

don't have that much spare time right now (we have 12 month old twins at home). I created several packages to help you file everything on your own. The mid-level package "Gold Level" comes with two hours of my time and I will review all your files to make sure they are perfect before you submit to the patent office (once you submit you cannot add anything new). If anyone is interested in this service, send me an email to: brad.fach@patentfile.org or you can purchase the package directly here: http://patentfile.org/packages The more advanced patent template for paid members has videos which will show you how to write each section and it provides a lot more detail than this free template>>>>
