Provisional Patent Applications Since June 8, 1995, the United States Patent Office has offered inventors the option of filing what is called a provisional patent application. This type of patent application provides a lower-cost first patent filing, which makes it possible for inventors to start the patent process and lock in their rights with less money up front.Keywords:
