Long story short on provisional patents.

They have 12 months to file for non-provisional in order to continue to protect the IP. Any negative is if the patent is granted, then they miss out on up to the 12 months they used as a provisional patent.

If I am incorrect on this, please someone correct me. I have no problems learning something. Please bring on the education.

Full Disclosure: this information is found on the USPTO website from the links I posted previously. I will post the link again below. I did not review the WIPO site or EPO site for more info. I will leave that up to you good people. I hope to read up a lot of good DD when I get up tonight.
