Provisional Patent Application

What is a Provisional Patent Application? A Provisional Patent Application establishes your priority with a "date of invention." Simply put, it tells the world "This is my invention." It's important to file a Provisional Patent Application because in Patent Law, it's not the person who came up with the idea first -it's the person who start the action and files the patent application first.

A provisional patent application is much faster and easier to file than a standard patent application. A standard patent application can take several months to prepare, and it can cost thousands of dollars. With a provisional patent application, you have 12 months to file your full patent application, and can legally announce to the world your "patent pending."
