Clear scope before filing
MARQ reviews the information you provide before filing. If a legal or factual issue changes the recommended service or prevents responsible filing, we explain it before proceeding and apply the written fee and refund terms in the Client Service Agreement. USPTO government fees are passed through at cost.
