Thanks for the info. I'm glad you jumped in this topic, as you seem to have a good understanding of patents. Do I understand correctly that the provisional patent sets in place the earlier date (i.e., date of proper filing of the provisional patent application) from which you can assert your patent rights, once in fact the patent is issued (assuming it is granted)? In other words, the patent holder would be able to look back to the date of the provisional patent application filing for any patent breaches? Or does it merely set the priority date for determining the novelty of your invention?

Thanks again for your input.
