Benefits of Filing a Provisional Patent Application in Wilmington DE
Submitting a provisional patent application in Wilmington DE offers inventors a strategic advantage by providing temporary protection under the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). This initial application safeguards an inventor’s creation for one year, offering a runway to a full patent filing.
There are numerous benefits to taking this preliminary step.
For starters, it is more affordable and entails fewer formalities compared to its nonprovisional counterpart. This makes it an attractive option for inventors looking to secure their inventions without a hefty initial investment. Additionally, it grants the inventor the liberty to market their innovation immediately, without the concern of intellectual theft.
Moreover, it establishes an early filing date, extending the potential patent term by an extra year and legitimizing the use of “patent pending” in relation to the invention. Such advantages make the provisional patent application an invaluable tool for innovators and business minds alike.
