Provisional Specification

Securing Your Priority with a Precision-Crafted Provisional Specification!

A Provisional Patent Application is filed when an invention is in a demonstrable but not yet finalised form, primarily to secure an early priority date. This application need not encompass claims but should include a title, a comprehensive description of the invention, and may, at the discretion of the applicant, include drawings.

At Mark IP, we assure the security and confidentiality of your invention. Our services extend to the meticulous preparation of patent specifications, the creation of detailed patent illustrations, and thorough proofreading to ensure the highest quality of submission.

The benefits of filing a provisional patent application include:

• Establishment of an early priority date, safeguarding the novelty of the invention.

• A 12-month window to file a complete patent application, allowing for further development and refinement of the invention.

• Initial filing without the necessity for claims, simplifying the early stages of patent documentation.

• Opportunity to evaluate the commercial potential of the invention before committing to the more substantial investment required for a complete patent application.

• A cost-effective means to commence the patenting process.

A provisional patent application customarily contains the following elements:
