Exhibit A
Patent Attorneys work in Plano
Plano sits in Collin County, where a large share of the region's technology, software and medical device employers are based, and patent work follows that kind of employer base. Firms in Plano compete for searches from inventors, engineers and startup founders across the northern suburbs, and the paid search on patent terms in this market is carried mostly by established firms and by regional practices bidding on the same phrases. The demand is steady rather than seasonal, because filings move with product development cycles rather than with the weather. Owner led practices and small partnerships make up most of the firms doing this work locally, and they are the ones whose names appear when someone searches for patent help in Plano.
