Under United States patent law, a provisional application is a legal document filed in the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), that establishes an early filing date, but does not mature into an issued patent unless the applicant files a regular non-provisional patent application within one year.o obtain the benefit of the provisional filing date, a non-provisional patent application must be filed, claiming benefit of the filing date of one or more specific provisional patent applications, prior to their expiration. The provisional patent application is only pending for 12 months prior to becoming abandoned.
Meaning, you need to file a Non-Provisional Application 12 months from the filing date of the Provisional Application to eventually obtain a patent. When you do file the Non-Provisional Application within the 12 months, itâs as if you filed it on the day you file the Provisional Application.his is because a Provisional Application does not include any claims. A Non-Provisional Application does include claims. Claims form the meets and bounds of the invention and are the most technical portion of the application to draft.
