Provisional Patent Applications
The world of inventing and patenting changed when this law took effect.
However, the invention companies completely missed the boat! They continued in their archaic, misdirected ways and never applied this law the way it was intended.
On the other hand, with our unconventional approach, we used and still use today provisional applications in an aggressive manner that dramatically improves the strength of the patents, the ability to achieve success, and saves inventors thousands of dollars.
This is also a great way to start test marketing your invention and to qualify its attributes. Should changes and improvements be necessary that aren't covered in a first provisional patent application, all you have to do is file a new one on the new subject matter. If you've completely designed around the inventive subject matter in the first application, then you're only out $110 instead of thousands like a permanent patent application would cost.
Besides, we're really good at having partners pay the cost of the permanent patent application.
