Can You Draft a Provisional Patent in One Day? A Realistic Timeline
· 5 min read

Many inventors think a patent application takes months. A provisional application is simpler: no formal claims are required and there is no examination.
Morning: describe the invention
Write the problem, the parts, how they work together and alternative versions.
Afternoon: generate and review
GetQuickPatent turns your description into a complete draft with technical drawings. Read every section and edit what is not accurate.
Evening: file
Upload the PDFs to USPTO Patent Center, pay the government fee (micro $65, small $130, large $325) and receive your filing receipt.
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.
