A Provisional Patent application is an interim step on the road to a patent. It is dominant because by filing a suitable provisional patent application a person can market the discovery without any fear of losing his patent rights, procuring cash to proceed with development, and further patent operations. One of the most important lawful documents while applying for patent registration is a provisional specification or complete specification. To increase the chances of creating patent registration, a provision specification can be filed along with a patent application if the applicant feels that the invention has reached a stage wherein it can be disclosed on paper, but has not attained the final stage.
The average time taken to file a provisional patent application is about 15 – 20 working days, subject to government processing time, and client document submission. Get a free consultation on provisional patent application filing by scheduling a deputation with an IndiaFilings Advisor.
