_{*NOTE: For simple mechanical inventions.  More complex inventions have a slightly higher flat-fee. If the "Select service" button is grayed out, or not responding, it means that our monthly maximum of small/micro entity reduced fee cases was reached. Generally, we limit the number of these micro/small entity reduced fee cases we have on our docket in any given month. Our monthly maximum is usually set to 5 for software/algorithms/business methods, and 10 for other areas. If so, call us for status or to be placed in FCFS queue for the next month's quotas reset. Also, note that after you register your payment in our website docketing system as part of the checkout process, you will be directed to an administrative forms intake page and after you complete that form we will email you credentials to login to your client portal where you can upload your documents and answer our search questionnaire with instructions..}
