Perhaps most importantly, now that the United States has become a first to file country and abandoned our historic first to invent ways (see A Brave New World — First to File Becomes Law) it is critically important to file a patent application as soon as practically possible.

Filing a provisional patent application that adequately describes the invention will establish priority and satisfies the need to act swiftly under first to file rules.

A well prepared provisional patent application is your best friend in a first to file world.

Yes. Provisional patent allows you to file quickly at a low cost and claim "patent pending" and lock in a filing date. They must now go through the formal patent application process within the next year.

It is typically a good idea to do a provisional to lock in the "first Inventor to file" date
