Are provisional patent applications “easy” to write?
No. A provisional patent application is not some easy replacement for a non-provisional patent application despite what some people say. In other words, it takes a lot of work to prepare a competent provisional patent application. The main advantage for self-drafters is that provisional patent applications do not have “claims” which typically require a patent attorney to prepare. If you are considering self-drafting, please read the information at www.PatentWizard.com which is a software product developed by Michael S. Neustel.
