Okay, let’s tackle this. So Doug Eggins has 60 years of experience as a patent agent, which is extremely rare. His experience spans 60 years, which is a significant amount of time in any field. Location is Barrie, Ontario, Canada, which is not a hub for patent agents. Considering his level of experience and the fact that he has been working in the same field for so long, I would estimate his hourly rate to be on the higher side. Patent agents with similar experience in the US can charge upwards of $200-$300 per hour. However, considering the Canadian market and his specific experience, I would estimate his hourly rate to be around $250. This is a rough estimate, but it takes into account his exceptional experience and the fact that he has been working in the same field for an extremely long time.
