Who shouldn self-draft a patent application?
Individuals that are not skilled at expressing the structure, function, operation, and benefits of their invention in writing and in drawings should not self-draft a provisional patent application. As stated previously, the quality of the provisional patent application is directly dependent upon the quality of information and reviews by the inventor. Self-drafting is not for every inventor or invention. You need to make the final decision yourself prior to filing a provisional patent application.
