Exhibit A
Patent Attorneys work in Durham
Durham holds a steady base of patent attorney work, carried by the university, the science and research employers around the city and the small technology firms that grow out of them. The searches are specific rather than broad: people look for help with a filing, a trademark, a design right or an invention they want protected before they talk to anyone. Paid search on these terms is modest, because the intent is narrow and the buyer is careful, and the firms competing for it are mostly independent practices rather than franchises. The demand is there for a practice that publishes clear pages on the questions inventors and founders in Durham actually type.
