Why it matters

Fearn is pairing patent software with expert-led, flat-fee service, testing whether a firm can make application costs more predictable without reducing the judgment patent drafting requires.

A legal professional works on a computer displaying patent information at a clean, modern desk, with an old brass clock subtly set aside in the background.

Han Kim (@hanhanhan_kim) said on September 23rd that Fearn Legal is launching as a patent firm built around FearnOS, its in-house operating system. Kim says the service will charge flat fees instead of billing by the hour and deliver drafts in days rather than months. In a reply to his announcement, Kim clarified that the people doing the work are patent experts, not necessarily attorneys.
