COST BENEFITS

Direct Payment
MDC pays direct to Foreign Patent and Trademark Offices whenever possible, thereby eliminating costly agent fees.

Volume Discounts
When an agent is involved, our large volume of payments entitles us to substantial discounts, in most cases 50%-60% off the normal rate. These cost savings are passed directly on to you. Furthermore, MDC's service fee is based upon your volume. The greater the volume, the smaller the fee.

Early Payment
MDC keeps close watch on rumors of impending official fee increases. Whenever possible, we will pay cases early (with your approval) to beat the fee increase. Last year alone, we reacted quickly in the U.S., France, Great Britain, Australia, and Greece to save our clients over $1.5 million in fees.

Time Savings
The time that is saved through the use of MDC's payment service will result in direct cost savings to your organization. The time saved can in turn be used for more productive, revenue-generating tasks.
