With LegalZoom, securing legal rights to your invention has never been easier, or more affordable.
Receive immediate "Patent Pending" status and secure a priority filing date for a full 12 months. A Provisional Patent protects the way your invention works and how it's used. It's a quick and inexpensive way to protect your machine, manufactured item or business process.
A great first step before investing a lot of time and money. Not only will you know if there are any similar patents in the "prior art", you'll be able to use the results to better define your invention.
