Launching on Kickstarter? File a Provisional Patent First

A crowdfunding page shows your product to the world, including potential copycats.

Public disclosure

Once public, your idea can be studied by anyone. Filing first secures your date.

Marketing benefit

“Patent Pending” on a campaign page can add credibility once filed.

GetQuickPatent.com is a drafting tool, not a law firm, and does not give legal advice. Patent Pending status begins only when an application is actually filed with the USPTO. Start your draft at https://getquickpatent.com.

This is an SI-generated draft of a Provisional Patent Application. It is not legal advice; GetQuickPatent is not a law firm and our assistants are not attorneys. With assisted filing, our assistant uploads your files and fills the USPTO Patent Center forms for you, but you sign with your own electronic signature and pay USPTO fees directly — we never sign for you. You remain fully responsible for the accuracy and final submission to the USPTO.
