Secure an early priority date by submitting a Provisional Patent Application.
A patent grants the inventor exclusive legal rights to prevent others from making, using, or selling their invention. A provisional patent application acts as an initial filing, providing a summary of the invention’s core concept without complete technical details. It helps establish an early priority date, securing the invention and protecting the inventor’s rights during its development phase.
Submitting a provisional patent application secures an early priority date, ensuring that no one else can file a patent for the same invention.
A provisional patent provides the inventor 12 months to further develop the invention and file the complete specification, refining its novelty, utility, and inventive aspects to meet patentability standards.
Filing a provisional patent is a cost-effective and straightforward way to secure initial protection. It gives the inventor 12 months to file the complete specification, allowing time to assess the invention’s potential and feasibility. If the full patent is not pursued within this period, there are no penalties, and the provisional application remains unpublished, keeping the invention confidential.
A patent is a valuable asset that can yield significant financial returns when utilized strategically. The patent owner can license, assign, or sell it as required. For instance, pharmaceutical companies often generate substantial profits by monetizing their patented products through licensing and assignment agreements.

Without filing the complete specification within 12 months, the provisional application expires.
