Filing a U.S. provisional patent application is a low cost option for those inventors and small companies who do not have the budget, resources, or time to prepare and file a full utility patent application, but still wish to establish their ‘place in line’ for the date of their invention. Filing a provisional patent application gives you one year to prepare the full utility patent application and decide on international patent filings. Ideally, provisional patent applications should be filed as close to the time of conception as possible.
In the Gold Package, Patent Express refers you a qualified, professional U.S. patent attorney or agent to help you prepare a high quality utility patent application end- to -end. Each patent attorney or agent referred through Patent Express is a member of the U.S. Patent Bar, and is licensed to help you file and protect your invention. In addition, each attorney or agent has gone through a rigorous evaluation through Patent Express and has answered at least 20 questions on the Patent Express Patent Q&A forum. Patent Attorneys and patent agents referred to you will first screen your invention for potential conflicts with their existing clients (to make sure that they do not represent your competitors). Referrals will be based on the technology area of your invention and your geography. Whenever possible, we’ll refer you to someone who can conduct a face- to- face disclosure meeting with you to discuss your questions and write your patent application on your behalf.
