Process Overview
Unlike other intellectual property, patents are governed by "first-to-file" rules and strict disclosure windows; a single procedural error can permanently end your eligibility.
The Provisional "Placeholder": An affordable, 12-month filing that establishes a priority date without requiring formal claims, allowing you time to refine your invention or seek funding.
The Non-Provisional Application: The formal request for examination. This version must contain a complete set of claims and technical descriptions to be evaluated for novelty and non-obviousness.
The 12-Month Clock: Provisional applications cannot be extended. You must convert to a non-provisional filing within one year or lose your original priority date forever.
Public Disclosure Bar: In many cases, selling your invention or presenting it publicly before filing can trigger a statutory bar that prevents you from ever obtaining a patent.
Enablement Standard: Your filing must describe the invention with enough detail that a person skilled in the field could recreate it. Vague placeholder" descriptions often fail to support later claims.
Inventorship Accuracy: Failing to correctly list every individual who contributed to the "conception" of the invention can render a resulting patent unenforceable.
