If you have your draft ready, we will file it under the Standard Package. Alternatively, we can prepare the draft for you and file it under the Premium or Professional Package.

You will receive the “Pending Patent” status as soon as your application is filed. This gives you early protection while the process continues.

is my representative for the patent process. Every question I asked has been answered, and once we agreed on the patent design, the filing was speedy. Thank you!

They said what he would do and did what he said. I can't ask for much more. I'd use again for a more complicated project, including patents.

Provisional Patent Filing

A provisional patent application is a low-cost, fast-track way to secure an early filing date for your invention in the United States. It allows inventors and businesses to establish official recognition of their idea with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) before filing a non-provisional (full) patent application. While a provisional patent doesn’t result in a granted patent by itself, it gives you 12 months to further develop your invention, seek funding, or test the market — all while protecting your “patent pending” status.

We provide expert assistance in drafting and filing provisional patent applications tailored to your innovation and long-term IP strategy.

✅ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Provisional Patent Application

What is a provisional patent application?
+
A provisional patent application is a temporary application filed with the USPTO that establishes an early priority date but does not require formal claims, an oath, or declaration.
What are the benefits of filing a provisional patent?
+
• Establishes an early filing date
• Allows use of “Patent Pending” label
• Lower initial cost compared to a non-provisional
• Provides 12 months to develop or market the invention before full filing
Does a provisional patent protect my invention?
+
A provisional patent does not itself grant enforceable rights, but it secures your priority date, which is critical if someone else files a similar invention later.
How long is a provisional patent valid?
+
A provisional application is valid for 12 months from the filing date. You must file a non-provisional (utility) application within that time to retain the priority date.
What happens if I don’t file a non-provisional within 12 months?
+
If you don’t file a non-provisional application within 12 months, your provisional application expires and cannot be revived. You will lose the benefit of the original filing date.
What information should be included in a provisional application?
+
A complete description of the invention, including:
• How it works
• Key components or steps
• Drawings or sketches (if applicable)
• Any variations or alternatives

The more detail, the better. We can help draft your description professionally.
Do I need to include claims in a provisional application?
+
No. Unlike a non-provisional application, a provisional does not require formal claims, although a well-drafted disclosure is still essential.
Can I file multiple provisional patents for the same invention?
+
Yes, you can file multiple provisional applications if your invention evolves. Later, you can consolidate them into a single non-provisional application.
Will my provisional application be published?
+
No. Provisional patent applications are not published or examined by the USPTO. They remain confidential unless claimed in a later non-provisional patent.
Can I claim “patent pending” after filing a provisional?
+
Yes. Once filed, you can immediately mark your invention as “Patent Pending,” which can deter potential infringers and attract investors.
Can a foreign applicant file a provisional patent in the US?
+
Yes. Foreign inventors and companies can file a provisional patent in the US. However, local legal requirements in their country may also apply.
Do you help prepare drawings and technical descriptions?
+
Yes. We offer technical illustration, line art, and professional drafting services to ensure your application is clear, complete, and properly supported.
What are the costs of filing a provisional patent?
+
Costs vary based on the complexity of the invention and whether you require professional drafting. We offer affordable packages for startups, entrepreneurs, and businesses.
