Shielding Your App Idea will help you protect your idea quickly and cheaply. A provisional patent application gives you patent pending status.
Do you have an app idea that solves a problem and will be a big success? Been afraid to talk about it because someone else may steal it?
Many inventors share the same concern.
Before you talk about your idea with anyone, pitch it to manufacturers, or apply to audition for a show such as Shark Tank, you need to protect your invention with Patent Pending status provided by a provisional patent application.
Provisional applications are quick to prepare, easy to file, and, best of all the cheapest way to be patent pending. If you have gone to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s website looking for how to file a provisional patent application, you may have found some general information, but you may have still been in the dark about how to actually put together a provisional patent application and get it filed.
This course makes it easy for you to create and file a provisional application yourself. I made it for those that want to be patent pending and are willing to put in a little DIY effort and save hundreds or even thousands of dollars in the process.
Describing your invention in a provisional application (it’s easier than you think)
Filling in blanks on one simple form (takes less than 10 minutes), and finally
Filing your application electronically with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (and get a filing receipt back instantly).
That’s it! Just three easy steps and you have Patent Pending protection for your invention.
