Why you need a provisional patent... 

Protection is the main thing

When you have a great idea, you run a real risk of someone stealing your idea if you reveal it to the wrong person with no patent protection. Regular patent filings can be very expensive and time consuming, effectively shutting out the garage or basement inventor. A provisional patent, however, is very inexpensive to file (as low as $ 105.00) and gives you patent protection for a year before you have to do a regular filing. During this time, if you try to negotiate a royalty contract with a company, you are protected as if you had a patent and can deal from a position of strength, especially if you are talking to several prospects and they know you are talking to other possible buyers. It gives you leverage, as the competitors bid against one another, to produce your idea or invention !

Getting into the patent game 

It's easier than you think...

A lot of smart people have great ideas that could make them a lot of money but are completely at a loss as to how to get a patent or even start the process. You don't have to have a patent to make money from your great idea; you only have to have a "placeholder" to let you negotiate with someone for a royalty or fee(s) and let them go to the trouble of the regular patent process. This "placeholder" is called a provisional patent. It is much cheaper to get that than a regular patent filing. Currently, the provisional patent fee is $105.00 for a small entity (i.e. individual inventor). What happens is this: you file for a provisional patent and you get a receipt from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) when you have successfully completed the appropriate forms that marks the time you are now in the running to get a patent. You have one year from the date on the receipt to make a regular filing and your protection is back dated to the provisional patent date. During the time you have the provisional patent, you get the right to use "patent pending" on anything you manufacture and sell plus you are protected when you go to negotiate with a company to sell your patent rights for a royalty or fee.

Thieves beware..... 

Small time inventors have a new weapon

A provisional patent protects you from theft of your idea as it's already registered with the USPTO and anyone coming in behind you will lose any contest to you. With a provisional patent in hand, you don't even have to manufacture anything. You can simply contract with someone who will pay you a royalty and maybe a contract signing fee up front so you can go back to creating things to patent and not worry about running a business. It's up to you. That's the power of a "provisional patent".

Provisional Patent Application Kit by USEM!©
creator Ken Shields says:

"The reason I created the kit was to help potential inventors bypass the morass of documents I waded through to discover the correct ones to file for a provisional patent. It took many, many hours (I wish I kept track of how many) to decipher the process. I didn't know I had even finished the process successfully until I received the receipt that signals "success!" from the USPTO. That's when I knew that it would be worth something to someone else to avoid the agony I endured."

What is the REAL price for using a "Free" Provisional Patent Application Kit? 

Can you guess? . . . Perhaps EVERYTHING ! ! !

There are "free" provisional patent application kits available online -- and those that claim to be free. Many of these are simply teasers -- often for expensive software packages or services; some are not much more than glorified word processors !

I know that you are intelligent. The expression "(something for) free, is usually worth exactly what you paid for it" is something that I am sure you can relate to in your own past experiences.

Here's where your primary concern should be: TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE ! Do you want to save a few bucks to risk using a 'free example' of a provisional patent application ? Who is keeping that information up-to-date? Is it complete? Will it guarantee that you are awarded 'Patent Pending' status on your first try? Of course not! . . . Using a 'free' kit might take you several "tries", back and forth between you, and the USPTO !!! thus wasting valuable time.

Remember, the most important first step, is getting your foot in the door - ASAP ! If you use a free kit, and don't get it right -- the first time -- you may lose forever the right to cash in on your idea....someone can BEAT YOU TO IT ! ! ! !

Besides, with a money back guarantee, your risk is non-existent. So ACT TODAY and protect your marketable idea or invention ! DON'T BE SORRY LATER! It's just too important to take a chance on "free" !
