INTRODUCTION

What is an application for a provisional patent?

A patent gives the owner of the invention the sole legal right to forbid anyone from creating or utilizing their innovation. A provisional application is a concise description that outlines the invention’s nature and substance. The initial application can be submitted prior to submitting the full specification. It provides a concise, but incomplete, explanation of the patent. For innovators, filing a provisional patent is particularly helpful as it locks in the priority date and protects the innovation from other parties claiming ownership.

This is the time to assess the feasibility of the applicant and determine whether it has sufficient potential to warrant patent protection. The applicant will have a full year to decide if the investment is worthwhile, and can withdraw from consideration at any time without incurring costs or penalties and even if it does not have to be published or come into the public domain.

Financial Gains

If properly maintained, a patent is a great asset that can yield far greater financial rewards than any other form of intellectual property. When necessary, the patent owner may sell, assign, or license their creation. Through licensing, assigning, etc., several pharmaceutical corporations have derived substantial revenues from their patented medications.
