Secure Early Patent Rights with a Provisional Application

Need to protect your invention while still developing it? A provisional patent application establishes your priority date and "patent pending" status, giving you 12 months to refine your innovation before filing a full utility patent.

What's At Stake

Development without protection risks:

• Loss of priority rights to competitors
• Premature public disclosure

Early development phases are especially vulnerable to competitive pressure and lost opportunities.
