Exhibit A
Patent Attorneys work in Chattanooga
Chattanooga carries a steady base of patent and intellectual property search demand, and the firms competing for it are a small set of local practices plus a long tail of out of town firms that rank on national terms. The searches split between people looking for a patent attorney near them and people searching a specific problem, such as a provisional patent filing or a trademark alongside a patent. Paid search on the broad terms is contested by larger firms bidding nationally, while the narrower local and problem terms stay open. Owner led practices and small partnerships make up most of the local field, with a handful of larger regional firms taking the bigger corporate work.
