What is the difference between a provisional and nonprovisional patent?
A provisional patent provides a 12-month placeholder filing date at lower cost but does not itself become a patent. A nonprovisional is the full application examined by the USPTO.
How long does it take to get a patent?
The average time from filing to grant is 2 to 3 years for utility patents. Design patents typically take 12 to 18 months.
