Exhibit A
Patent Attorneys work in Hayward
Hayward sits in the East Bay between Oakland and Fremont, and the patent attorneys working here draw clients from the small manufacturers, machine shops and hardware startups spread along the industrial corridors near the bay. Search demand for patent attorney work in Hayward is modest and steady rather than large, and the firms competing for it are mostly small practices and solo attorneys rather than franchises. Paid search on the core terms carries a real cost per click because the terms are few and the bidders are specialised. The demand available is concentrated in a small set of searches, which means a firm that publishes consistently on the right terms can hold a visible place in front of the people already looking.
