Publisher's Synopsis
Everything you need to protect your invention now
The provisional patent application (PPA) is a quick, inexpensive and legal way to claim your invention-and buy yourself time to determine whether it's worthwhile to pursue a regular patent. Patent Pending in 24 Hours shows you how to:
- conduct a patent search online
- complete all the necessary forms
- evaluate potential hurdles to patentability
- prepare informal drawings
- file your application, and
- file a new PPA to reflect modifications
Includes key PPA-related forms: nondisclosure agreement, patent assignment, prototype-maker agreement, and joint-ownership agreement.
