PROVISIONAL UTILITY PATENT APPLICATION

Temporarily protects a product, method, or software for 12 months as long as you convert it into a non-provisional utility patent application before the 12 month ends. Quick and less expensive, a good choice for those who may want to use the next 12 months to raise funds and finalize the invention before proceeding to the non-provisional utility application. Must convert to a non-provisional utility application to keep your protection.
