Exhibit A
Patent Attorneys work in Portland
Portland carries a steady stream of patent work. The city has a dense cluster of small firms and solo practitioners serving the tech, footwear, apparel and manufacturing businesses across the metro, and the searches that follow that work are spread thin across many names rather than concentrated on one. Paid search on patent terms in Portland is modest and mostly taken by firms bidding on a handful of high intent phrases, with owner operators and small partnerships making up most of the advertisers. The demand available is real and it is fragmented, which means a firm that publishes consistently on the right terms can hold ground that a bigger budget does not buy.
