Rethink(IP) - Eavesdrop

Let me go on a rant...

It doesn't make sense to spend "thousands" to have a patent search done
when a patent application may cost $4-7K to prepare and file (thus that
might explain why small metro patent firms have much cheaper patent
searches...the apps themselves are cheaper). At some point it becomes a
gamble...the risk of prior art /cost of the patent search vs the
application cost (what % added to the cost of the patent application is
worth having the search done???).

Thanks again for the input and post ideas.
