FAQ
What's a provisional patent application?
A provisional application establishes your priority date for $320 and gives you 12 months to file the full (non-provisional) application. It's not examined — it just holds your place.
What makes an invention 'ready' to patent?
You need: a clear description of the invention, identification of what's novel, evidence it works (or will work), and a prior art search showing the space is open.
