ECDC Files "Provisional" Patent Application for Vir2o's "JoinMe".

However, are "provisional" patent applications published by the USPTO? Nope! That means one cannot confirm or verify ECDC's claim of filing a PPA. This company hardly does anything right.

Provisional Patent Applications Are Not Published

Provisional patent applications are not published since they are not examined and they are only pending at the U.S. Patent Office for 12-months. After 12-months, a provisional patent application automatically becomes abandoned and therefore will never be published. Only a non-provisional patent application can be published by the U.S. Patent Office. Hence, a provisional patent application will remain secret at the U.S. Patent Office with a few exceptions discussed below.
