Exhibit A
Patent Attorneys work in Boise
Boise carries a steady base of patent work. The city has a technology sector, a growing startup scene and a state university that produces inventors, and each of those feeds filings. The firms serving it are mostly small: solo practitioners and two to five attorney shops, with a handful of larger Idaho firms holding the bigger corporate portfolios. Paid search on patent terms in the Boise market is thin. Most of the money in this trade goes to national directories and lead brokers bidding on terms like patent attorney and patent application, and those bids reach into Boise because the searches are not geo fenced. That leaves the local organic results open for a firm that publishes consistently. The demand is there, spread across a modest number of firms, and the paid layer above it is priced for national buyers rather than Boise practices.
