Upon your final approval, your provisional patent application will be filed by a Registered Patent Attorney with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Once filed, your invention will become ‘patent-pending’, and you will
have priority over anyone else who may file a similar patent application after your filing
date.
