Patent Application Specification Writing, Provisional Patent

Provisional Patent Application Writing

Filing a provisional patent application grants you one year to develop and market your idea or invention. If successful, a patent application specification must be prepared. Have an idea or invention? Identify which stage of the patenting process you are in, and follow the steps to getting started:

Step 1. 
All stages.  Print out a Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA) from our Website or request one using the Contact us link.

Step 2.
Pay the Prior Art Research fee.  Use the Paypal/Venmo/Major credit card payments at the end of the Home page. 

• • Attach or include a summary of your clients idea with advantages. Pictures and drawings are helpful, or we can assist with those. If the idea or product has a name, please provide that also. 
  •  Princetonwww.net will research the invention for possible non-patentability, and if so, will find potential ways to get around already existing products and inventions.
  • Again, Princetonwww.net will focus on claiming what it is that makes your clients invention more unique.  If this happens, we will assist to brainstorm a similar, but more unique name for your client’s brand.
  • After all, successful patents are 90% marketing and 10% invention!
    
    

Step 3.
Re-review of Step 2. Strategize on the unique advantages of your invention over the existing invention and other unique strategies that have worked and will work on inventions in the specific industry. 

Step 4.
Continued Prior art research, an in-depth research.  This process is continuous.

• • If the idea is researched to be unique and not yet patented, or a unique advantage or form is identified, the intellectual property proceeds to the next step.
  • Concluded reviews are e-mailed out immediately patentability is established or otherwise.  At this time the invention may move to the next level.

Step 5. No longer available. The USPTO Disclosure Document (DD) program has been discontinued.

Step 6. File a provisional utility patent application, or design patent as necessary, based on research findings.

• • Provisional utility patent or a Design patent, depends on the nature of the invention.
  • Filing a Provisional patent gives an inventor one year to ‘put into practice’, and awards ‘patent pending status.
  • Or, file a Formal patent application and market the patent pending invention to buyers, manufacturers, or investors.
  • If this path is chosen, make sure to have already received a contract. 

Step 7.
At this stage, market a patent pending application or idea until a buyer or investor is found. 

• • OPTION to wait until patent is approved, then market the patented product/invention as aggressively as you can to an interested buyer, manufacturer, licensor(s) or investor(s).
