Patent Pending Before Your Investor Pitch: Why Founders File First

Investors often ask about intellectual property. Showing a filed application can make that conversation easier.

Filing date first, pitch second

Filing before you present keeps your priority date ahead of the disclosure.

Cost-effective

A provisional costs far less than a full application and buys 12 months to validate the business.

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.
