It should cost less than $500, I believe the filing fee is $125. Getting a lawyer involved will increase the price by several thousand.

I'd recommend the Nolo Press books on the topic. http://www.nolo.com/product.cfm/ObjectID/1F0E4794-D236-43C3-... You can buy the pdf online or if you don't mind violating international copyright law they're mostly available on emule.

(warning: rant)

The PDF cost only $3 less than the paper book?

"No shipping fees."

Well, mighty decent of them.
