The difference between provisional and non-provisional patents are as follows. A provisional is really intended to record your inventive idea and secure a priority date. It’s important to note that the US is now a first to file country like the rest of the world. So it’s really important to get the earliest possible priority date. If you do choose to file a provisional, then you have one year to file a non-provisional application. And that’s important because that deadline is not extendable. So it’s very

important to consider when you do file a provisional that the clock is ticking for you to file the non-provisional. The difference between a provisional and a non-provisional is primarily that you have a full set of claims. When you file a non-provisional, you are entitled to file 20 claims. typically three independent claims and 17 dependent claims. You can file additional claims, but there’s a per claim fee on top of that. And those claims define the scope of the invention. The provisional application
