Utility patent: You will be required to pay 3 kinds of fees as you apply for the patent:  1) filing fee – $300.00, 2) search fee – $500.00, and 3) examination fee – $200.00.
If your application is successful, and the United States Patent and Trademark Office approves the patent, you will be required to pay two additional fees: 

1) publication fee – $300.00 and 2)issue fee – $1,400.00 if you are an independent inventor, or represent a small business, the fees are reduced by half.

Software PatentsI always recommend that inventors seeking software patents start with a patent search. Typically there is always something that can be patented, it is just a matter of finding out what is unique and how to describe it to accentuate the uniqueness of the invention. Ultimately, the question is usually whether the patent claims that can be obtained will be broad enough to warrant the time, money and expense associated with obtaining a patent.

Abstract
Embodiments enable a mobile device to execute an action analogous to a user-defined action in response to receipt of a gesture analogous to a user-defined gesture. In an embodiment, a method automatically interprets touch gestures on a mobile device. In the method, a user input is received that defines a first touch gesture to initiate a first action on an application of the mobile device. A second touch gesture is received on a touch screen of the mobile device. The second touch gesture is similar, but not identical, to the first touch gesture, and has a different orientation, size or position from the first touch gesture. In response to receipt of the second touch gesture, a second action is determined on the application of the mobile device according to a difference between the first and second touch gestures in orientation, size or position on the screen of the mobile device. Finally, the second action is initiated.
