Can I prepare a provisional patent application with PatentPro?
Yes. PatentPro creates a disclosure document describing your invention that can be filed as a “provisional application for patent” by sending it to the Patent Office with a Provisional Application for Patent Cover Sheet and an $100.00 fee for a small entity. Because the disclosure requirements for a provisional application are the same as those for a full blown utility application, the method used in PatentPro prepares a complete document that can later be converted into a full patent application.
