A provisional patent application (PPA) is a patent application that can be used by a patent applicant to secure a filing date while avoiding the costs associated with the filing and prosecution of a nonprovisional patent application. More specifically, if a nonprovisional application is filed within one year from the filing date of a PPA, the nonprovisional application may claim the benefit of the filing date of the PPA. (Why filing dates for patent applications are important will be discussed below.) Because a PPA is not examined, an applicant can also avoid the costs typically associated with nonprovisional patent prosecution (certain attorney’s fees, for example) for a year while determining whether his/her invention is commercially viable.
