Exhibit A
Patent Attorneys work in Evansville
Evansville is a mid sized city with a steady base of manufacturing and engineering employers, and that base is where most local patent work comes from. The number of firms in the city that list patent prosecution among their services is small, so the searches that do happen are spread across a short list of names. Paid search on patent terms in this market is modest, because the people searching are few and they search with intent. The firms competing for the work are mostly independent practices and small partnerships rather than franchises. The demand is there for a firm that shows up when an inventor or an engineer in the city looks for help.
