Provisional Patents (Utility / Design)

Patents are intellectual property rights granted to inventors and creators or useful items (products, designs, technologies). They provide for a limited monopoly of roughly 20 years for you to exclusively exploit your inventions. They offer powerful tools to maximize the performance and incomes from your creations. If you want to obtain these rights, you need to file for a patent.

Although there is no such thing as a formal “provisional patent”, you can file for a provisional patent application. Filed in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, it allows filing without a formal patent claim, and provides a means to establish an early filing date in a subsequent patent application. It also allows the “Patent Pending” term to be applied in connection with your invention.

We can assist you in preparing, filing and monitoring provisional patent applications.
