Provisional studio
Finish the filing from here.
Your draft is loaded and expanded into an enabling specification — field, background, best mode, embodiments, figure callouts, and contemplated claims. This is a drafting aid, not a law firm. A registered practitioner should read it before you rely on it.
File soon. You have already worn prototypes. In the US, public use or sale can start a one-year grace period. After that, you can lose the right to a patent. The provisional itself lasts 12 months and is not examined.

File checklist
- 1. Read every section below. Add a dimensioned cross-section if you can (FIG. 6).
- 2. Open the full specification, copy or download the text, paste into Word, add the figures, export PDF.
- 3. Create a MyUSPTO account and open Patent Center. New submission → Provisional Application for Patent.
- 4. Upload spec + drawings + PTO/SB/16. If you qualify, attach SB/15A and pay $65 (small entity is $130; large is $325).
- 5. Save the filing receipt. You may then say Patent Pending. Calendar the 12-month non-provisional date the same day.
Figures on hand
These are your renders and the early print. Before filing, convert them to numbered line drawings if you can. Do not wait on perfect drawings if the grace clock is running — file the renders with the written description.
