About this book

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
  • evaluate potential hurdles to patentability
  • prepare informal drawings
  • file your application, and
  • file a new PPA to reflect modifications

This edition covers the latest implications of the "America Invents Act, " as well as recent revisions to patent rules and regulations. Thousands of people have used Patent Pending in 24 Hours successfully. You can too!

Includes key PPA-related forms: nondisclosure agreement, patent assignment, prototype-maker agreement, and joint-ownership agreement.
