Used correctly, a provisional patent application gives you time to explore your invention’s potential, seek funding, and test the market. Used incorrectly, it can create a false sense of security.
Before you file, get clear on what a provisional application can, and can’t, do for you.
A consultation with a patent attorney will likely save you significant time, money, and heartache in the long run. Talk with the attorney about what the provisional application should contain and how to align the application and filing date with your long-term goals.
What you do in the provisional patent application stage can determine whether you end up with a strong patent or no patent at all.
