several thousand

4-5k for grant of UK patent, another 6k for European grant, plus traslation fees for the various countries, another 7-8k for worldwide,plus translation costs for different countries.

All bag of fag packet stuff based on a quick web trawl. It's the Patent Attorney fees that are the expensive bit, actual registration fees are a few hundred in the UK and a few thousand for Europe/World.

Our firm only does Trade Marks I think, but as a ball park rate our Trademark Attorney's charge out rate is probably around the 180 mark per hour (we're cheap 'cos we're in the regions - Bristol).

If you're desperate to know I'll ask one of our IP lot at work.
