FILE A PROVISIONAL PATENT
From the US Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO): "A provisional application for patent (provisional application) is a U.S. national application filed in the USPTO under 35 U.S.C. §111(b). A provisional application is not required to have a formal patent claim or an oath or declaration. Provisional applications also should not include any information disclosure (prior art) statement since provisional applications are not examined. A provisional application provides the means to establish an early effective filing date in a later filed nonprovisional patent application filed under 35 U.S.C. §111(a). It also allows the term "Patent Pending" to be applied in connection with the description of the invention." From inventRight: "SmartIP is a new program from inventRight that makes the PPA process faster and easier than ever. You’ll be able to generate a strong provisional patent application without having to navigate the process yourself, or rely on an outside patent attorney." |
