There will be some fees attached up-front for these and on-going costs for renewal and upholding of the patent can be expected and should be budgeted for annually. HAVE THAT ONE GREAT BIT IDEA THAT WILL SET YOU UP FOR LIFE, the ever-elusive pursuit! There is more here than typically meets the eye. Trademarks include any word, name, symbol, or device, or any combination, used, or intended to be used in commerce to identify and distinguish the goods of one manufacturer or seller from goods manufactured or sold by others, and to indicate the source of the goods. IT IS UP TO YOU TO USE THEM AND PUT THEM TO WORK IN YOUR OWN BEST INTEREST. This might take longer, or the risk is also there of inventions and genius not getting captured and even lost, for lack of input, funds or experiences, means to get it to market.

Featuring Patent Cost
Inventors also have the option of filing a provisional application for patent which was designed to provide a lower cost first patent filing in the United States and to give U.S. applicants parity with foreign applicants.
What makes these provisional filings slightly different, is the fact that
? Claims and oath or declaration are NOT required for a provisional application.
? They provide the means to establish an early effective filing date in a patent application
? They permit the term Patent Pending to be applied in connection with the invention.
**NOTE: Provisional applications may not be filed for design inventions.
FILING DATE: the date on which a written description of the invention, drawings if necessary, and the name of the inventor(s) are received in the patent office.
COMPLETE AND ACCURATE: To be complete, a provisional application must also include the filing fee, and a cover sheet specifying that the application is a provisional application for patent.
VALIDITY AND PROCESS: It is valid for a period of 12 months, in which period a non-provisional application for patent has to be filed as described above.
Why use it? The earlier filing date protects your ownership and first to idea and market status!
Other requirements include:
? Provisional applications are not examined on their merits.
? A provisional application will become abandoned by the operation of law twelve months from its filing date.
? The twelve month period for a provisional application is not counted toward the 20 year term of a patent granted on a subsequently filed non-provisional application which relies on the filing date of the provisional application.
? A surcharge is required for filing the basic filing fee or the cover sheet on a date later than the filing of the provisional application.
