I will draft a provisional patent application for your invention
About this Gig
Have an invention you want to protect before you share or sell it? I draft a provisional patent application that describes your invention in full technical detail, helping you secure an early filing date.
WHAT YOU GET
- Detailed written specification based on your materials
- Description of embodiments and variations
- Drawing review and figure descriptions
- Filing assistance with the USPTO after your approval
- Clear next-step timeline (provisional filings expire after 12 months)
HOW IT WORKS
1. Order and send your invention disclosure.
2. I review it and may ask technical questions.
3. I deliver the draft for your review.
4. After your approval, I help you file.
GOOD TO KNOW

FAQ
How do you protect my confidential information?
Let’s discuss confidentiality terms before you share anything sensitive.
Are USPTO fees included?
No, and fees vary by entity size. I’ll confirm current amounts at filing.
Do you create the drawings?
In Basic you supply them. Standard and Premium include coordination with your drawing source or illustrator.
Does it guarantee a patent?
No. It also does not tell you whether the invention is patentable (see my search gig for that).
Is a provisional the same as a patent?
No. It is a placeholder filing that is not examined and expires after 12 months unless you follow up.
