LegalZoom's 3-step process was developed by attorneys from some of the most prestigious law firms in America. There are no complex instructions to follow and nothing to download or print. Simply answer a few questions and we'll take care of the rest.
Here's how it works:
1) Complete the Provisional Application for Patent Questionnaire
Complete our simple questionnaire. If you need assistance at any time, our customer support team is available to help.
2) We Create and File Your Application
We carefully review your answers for consistency and common mistakes. LegalZoom then prepares your provisional application for patent. For your convenience, we can even prepare your technical drawings and perform a patent search. You can relax knowing your application has been accurately and professionally completed.
3) Final Wrap-Up of Your Provisional Application for Patent Order
LegalZoom electronically files your application with the U.S. Patent Office. Once your application has been processed, you will receive an official filing receipt by mail.
