Why Speed Matters: Getting Patent Pending Before Someone Else Files

Since 2013 the United States follows a first-inventor-to-file system. When two people file on similar inventions, the earlier filing date generally wins.

Every day of delay is a risk

Talking to friends, posting a prototype online or showing a manufacturer can create disclosure risks. A provisional application secures an early date before you share.

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.
