Exhibit A
Patent Attorneys work in Columbia
Columbia is a mid sized Southern city with a steady base of patent and intellectual property work. The searches come from inventors, university researchers, small manufacturers and startups who need filings, opinions and prosecution handled locally. The firms competing for those searches are mostly small partnerships and solo practitioners rather than national franchises, so the field is made up of owner operators who each cover a handful of technical areas. Paid search on the core terms is modest and concentrated on a few high intent phrases, which means the organic results carry most of the demand. The volume available is steady rather than seasonal, and it rewards the practice that has pages in place for the specific technologies and the specific places its clients search from.
