Provisional Patent Applications

A provisional application for patent provides a priority filing date for a patent application and permits the use of the “Patent Pending” designation in connection with the invention for a period of one year. A provisional patent application can serve as a low cost first patent filing to inventors and confers the benefit of parity with foreign applicants due to the one year novelty rule. Applicants must claim the benefit of a provisional application in a corresponding utility patent no later than 12 months after the provisional filing date.


Note: A provisional application alone will not result in an issued patent and will automatically go abandoned 12 months from its filing date. In order to preserve your rights, a utility patent application referencing the provisional application must be filed during its pendency to claim the priority date of the provisional application.
