Provisional Patent

Secure a priority date for your patent by filing for a Provisional Patent Application

What is a Provisional Patent Application?

The patent is an exclusive legal right of the patentee that grants him the legal authority to prohibit others from making or using a patented invention. A provisional application is a brief synopsis disclosing the essence and the nature of the invention. It is the preliminary application that can be filed before filing the complete specification. It explains the patent in brief but not completely. Filing a provisional patent is very useful for inventors as it locks the priority date and secures the invention so that no one else can claim authority over it.

History of the invention, possible prototypes, all the minor details about the invention. This is to make the inventive steps stated clearly and help them draft better claims for the patent. The draft should also include the most useful aspect about the invention with the technical drawings, illustrating the functionality of the invention. And whether it is a developed or improved version of an already existing patent.
No, once the invention is in the public domain, it cannot be patented anymore. Inventors should not disclose their inventions before filing the patent application.
