Service Overview

Our service focuses on preparing a comprehensive description of your invention, ensuring it is sufficiently detailed to meet the requirements for a provisional application. This description must fully disclose the invention in a manner that allows a person skilled in the art to replicate it. Eeva Patent Services guides clients through this critical phase, ensuring that the provisional application lays a solid foundation for a subsequent non-provisional application.

Benefits to Clients

• Early Protection: Filing a provisional application secures an early filing date, which is crucial in patent law's "first to file" system, providing immediate protection against potential infringers.

• Cost-Effective Strategy: Provisional applications are less expensive and less formal, offering a cost-effective option for securing a filing date while deferring the significant costs associated with a non-provisional application.

• Flexibility: The 12-month pendency period of a provisional application provides inventors with the time to refine the invention, conduct market research, or seek investment and partners.

• Confidentiality: Provisional applications are not published, maintaining the confidentiality of your invention while the patent strategy is being developed.
