Exhibit A
Patent Attorneys work in Cedar Rapids
Cedar Rapids is a city of makers and engineers, and the patent work that comes out of it follows the employers: the collision and vehicle safety operations, the food and grain processing plants, the precision manufacturing shops and the University of Iowa research spilling down from Iowa City. The firms competing for that work are mostly small partnerships and solo practitioners, a handful of them, not national franchises with a marketing department. Paid search for patent terms in this market is thin, because the volume is thin and the cost per click reflects a narrow pool of bidders rather than a crowded one. That leaves the organic results and the AI answers as the places where a Cedar Rapids practice can be found by an inventor or a plant manager who has never needed a patent attorney before.
