Today I asked an American attorney to prepare and comment on the 1st OA. We ordered the comment to the American firm after they clarified its apporoximate cost for the OA, because we cannot accept exrtaordinary cost from a foreign firm. The apporioximate cost of commentting on the Office Action and preparing and filing a response to the USPTO would be about $〇.

　 Most attoneys in America charge us their fees according to its required time. Flankly, it sounds a bit inconvenient for us, because we cannot count how much cost will be required in the future. Therefore, it is very important for us to know how much cost wil be required beforehand.

　 It is needless to say that our firm will inform you of our apporioximate cost for each case before you decide to order it.

　Best regards,
