About Provisional Patent Application
A provisional application locks in your priority date for 12 months while you continue developing the invention or seeking funding, before the complete specification is due. We draft and file it with a technical writer.
IP filings are handled by our IP desk, which tracks every application in the IP India journal and alerts you to objections, oppositions and renewal dates.
