Launching at a Trade Show? File Patent Pending First

A trade show booth puts your product in front of buyers — and competitors. Showing it publicly can affect patent rights, especially outside the US.

File before the doors open

A provisional filed before the show secures your date and lets you label the product Patent Pending.

Last-minute preparation

With GetQuickPatent.com you can draft the application in an evening and file before travel.

Use the label correctly

Mark products Patent Pending only after an application is actually on file.

GetQuickPatent 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.

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.
