Exhibit A
Patent Attorneys work in Austin
Austin has a steady base of patent work that comes from the research and engineering around the university, the semiconductor and hardware companies, and the software firms that have grown up here. Firms that handle patents in this city range from small partnerships to larger intellectual property practices, and the searches people make are specific: they look for patent prosecution, provisional applications, freedom to operate work and help with office actions. Paid search in this field is expensive because a single client can be worth a lot, so the paid listings are usually held by the larger practices. The demand is there for firms that publish clear pages about the work they do and the technology they know.
