Frequently asked questions
What does a provisional application protect?
It establishes your priority date for the disclosed invention. You then have 12 months to file the complete specification; if you miss it, the application lapses.
Is a provisional patent enough on its own?
No. A patent is granted only on the complete specification. The provisional simply reserves your priority while you finalise the full filing.
