FAQ
No — patent and trademark law is federal, and any USPTO-registered patent attorney can represent you regardless of location. However, working with an Omaha-based attorney means local availability, Nebraska market rates, and direct access to a practitioner who knows the city’s business landscape. For Omaha inventors and businesses, the combination of local access and competitive pricing often makes more sense than working with a large coastal IP firm.
Costs are the same regardless of location — USPTO fees are fixed federally. At Michael Meyer Law: patent search $500, provisional application ~$2,500 all-in, non-provisional utility patent ~$5,000 all-in.
See the full patent cost breakdown with maintenance fees and prosecution costs at our complete guide to patent costs.
A provisional application can be filed in several weeks. A full utility patent typically takes 2–3 years from filing to grant, with first office actions arriving 12–18 months after filing. Timelines are determined by the USPTO’s docket.
See our full guide: How Long Does a Patent Application Take?
Yes — Michael handles both patent prosecution and trademark registration at the USPTO. For Omaha businesses that need to protect both an invention and a brand, working with one attorney for both avoids the coordination cost and communication gaps of splitting the work between two practitioners.
Michael’s chemistry background makes him particularly well-suited for chemical, pharmaceutical, and materials science inventions. His broader practice covers healthcare/medtech, agricultural technology, financial technology, mechanical devices, manufacturing processes, software-implemented inventions, and consumer products. He works with individual inventors, startups, and established companies across all sectors of Omaha’s economy.

Why Work With a Local Omaha Patent Attorney?
Patent law is federal — any USPTO-registered patent attorney can represent inventors anywhere in the country. But there are practical advantages to working locally:
• Direct personal access — meet in person when it’s useful; no routing through a large firm’s intake process. Michael works directly with every client from initial consultation through patent grant
• Omaha market rates — boutique attorney fees that reflect Nebraska, not New York or Silicon Valley. See our full breakdown at How Much Does a Patent Cost?
• No handoffs — Michael works directly with every client from search through grant, not a paralegal or junior associate. You get the same attorney on every call, every response, every strategy decision
• Federal scope — being Nebraska-based doesn’t limit reach; Michael files and prosecutes for clients nationwide and works with international patent attorneys on PCT filings for clients seeking global protection
