Exhibit A
Patent Attorneys work in Visalia
Visalia is a mid sized city in Tulare County with a working base in agriculture, food processing and small manufacturing, and the patent work that comes out of that base tends to be steady rather than large. The number of firms in Visalia that hold themselves out as patent attorneys is small, so the search demand for the term is modest and spread across a wide area of the county rather than concentrated in one downtown block. Paid search on the term is thin, which tells you the organic results are doing most of the work of connecting inventors with a firm. The practices competing for it are mostly owner operators and small partnerships rather than franchises, and many of them sit in Visalia while drawing clients from the surrounding towns.
