Information for Attorneys and Inventors
The Technology, Information Law, and Ethics (TILE) Program at Seattle University School of Law administers the Washington State/TILE Patent Pro Bono Hub (“Hub”).
The Hub matches qualified low-income inventors in Washington state with experienced patent attorneys. Attorneys assist inventors in preparing and filing provisional and non-provisional patent applications. Attorney services are provided at no cost to the inventor. However, the inventor remains responsible for paying the patent filing fees and any other U.S. Patent & Trademark Office fees associated with the application.
If you are a patent attorney or agent interested in volunteering, please see Information for Attorneys for more information and to sign up.
If you are an inventor interested in obtaining pro bono services under this program, applications will be accepted starting September 1, 2024.
