File a Provisional Patent
Application First

Based on your answers, a provisional patent application is the right first move. It secures your filing date immediately, gives you 12 months of patent pending status, and buys time to validate before committing to a full utility application.

1
Join the waitlist above. Confirm the provisional covers the right claims before filing. A 30-minute call prevents costly mistakes.
2
Document everything in writing now. Dated description, drawings, and any test results. This becomes your provisional specification.
3
File within your window. If you have already disclosed publicly, you may have less than 12 months. Confirm your exact deadline on the call.
4
Use the 12 months wisely. Validate demand, refine the product, and build toward the utility application with strong claim strategy.
