Exhibit A
Patent Attorneys work in Providence
Providence carries a steady base of patent and intellectual property search demand, shaped by the research and engineering work around Brown University, the Rhode Island School of Design and the hospitals and biotech employers in the city. The firms competing for that demand are mostly small partnerships and solo practitioners rather than franchises, and the searches themselves are specific: provisional versus non provisional filings, PCT applications, office action responses, freedom to operate work. Paid search on these terms is thin because the volume per query is low and the value per client is high, which leaves the organic results and the AI answers doing most of the work of connecting an inventor to a practice. That is the demand available in Providence, and it rewards practices with pages that answer the exact questions people type.
