A Provisional Patent is a great way for you to test the market to see if your idea will do well in the market. It is a little over $70 and a great way to get temporary protection. Good luck with your journey! Disclaimer: I am not an attorney. This is for educational purposes only, please seek an intellectual property lawyer if you have any questions or concerns. Also when it comes to a patent application, it would be wise to SEEK AN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ATTORNEY.

It's a shame how unnecessarily complicated the USPTO patent process is. Thanks for doing this video and making it clear.
Simplicity and USPTO will never go together. You're welcome!
It's also now obsolete, have been through endless frustration trying with authoring tools meant for the EFS system which has now been supplanted by the patent center. There's quite a need for updated videos for the new system, I'm trying to file by snail mail now, very difficult to find out how to do this if it's even possible.
I would like to say thank you for this wealth of information that you so kindly provided. I was able to follow your instructions to the letter and I am happy to share that I now have a provisional patent! You are amazing!!! Blessings!!!!
Great, thanks for sharing! is there an option to send a photograph instead of a drawing?
You don't have a provisional patent you have provisional APPLICATION!
Thank you for making this clear and concise video! It was very helpful. Just filed my first one!
Thank you! Good luck :)

Thanks a million man you are a lifesaver this info was very valuable to me because I did not have a clue on how to go about this. I just submitted my provisional patent thanks to you my friend now I will wait and pray that God will bless my idea!!
Thank you helped out a lot ! I was wondering though how did you do the documents that you added , I’m stressed about making those ?
Good video; nice explanation. Only problem I have was it sounded like you were sucking on a jolly rancher or some kind of candy. Very annoying.
Very helpful!! I just submitted my application for my invention and it feels amazing!!
Thank you!
Hello. I want to know if the engine with hydraulic parts is a utility model or a design?
This is a completely new type of engine.
To fill out the patent form, I need to decide it whether the utility or design.
Thanks you soooo much.... Im about to file mine right now... great work
Thank you! Please like, share and subscribe.
Nice job! Appreciate you sharing your knowledge!
Hey Empower, quick question... why do you attach the sb0016 (Provisional Application For Patent Cover Sheet) to the 'Transmittal of New Application' instead of selecting the drop down section related to Patent Cover Sheet? Thanks!
I truly appreciate your tutorial!! It was extremely helpful!!
Thank you for being transparent. great video nothing like it on youtube. ready to do mine soon. what about the patent search can you give us your insight. is that mean the no- provisional can be done the same way.
thanks for this. Appreciate it greatly!
Thank you for the video!
Thanks for the feedback!!
Thanks I lodged a provisional patent at the USPTO just now from this video 👍😎
Congrats, good luck! Please share and subscribe :)
MUCH appreciated! Great!
Thanks please like and share!
How do you incorporate variations in your idea in the provisional patent?
Great video! In order to pay for the provisional patent, am I required to file the PTO-2038 form to pay by credit card, or can I simply pay on the website after uploading the files? I'm asking because the sb/16 form asks for a payment form, but it isn't mentioned in the video.
At the end of the process you are able to pay by credit card!
I watched 5 how to patent this was best so far thank you honestly & shearing sir. 😃 may good above bless your good sprit & products

I believe that I have to file as a small entity because of the income limitation of a micro entity but I didn't see that in the drop down menu for adding your 4 docs. Do I just pay small entity price of $150 but still upload docs as a micro entity?
thank you for the information

AMAZING!! THANKS
Cant open pdf files on my MacBook Air. The site takes me to adobe reader to download a program, but that website no longer exists.
Hello, thanks for the simplified explanation. I'm applying from UK do you think it would be a problem in terms of payment and anything else? Thanks again
Great video!
I am an attorney and I found this video very helpful. I would like to see examples of the drawings and specifications that are approved, so I can better understand the threshold for detail. Do you have examples of acceptable drawings/specifications? Also, what if the invention is modified after the application is submitted?
Google patents or USPTO is a free resource for you to find successful patents. That would be much better to look at. I'm not an attorney, I'd imagine the patent would have to be amended.
My understandings w/ PPA's is that this is where you also include "the story" the "why" etc. Where do we do that? Or is that supposed to be done in photos as well? I submitted my PPA w/ just the drawings & other required docs you talked about. I'm a little worried I may have filed w/ out any of the important info. Thanks much
Hey, I'm late to the party for this video but really appreciate it - thank you! QUESTION: when do you know if/when your provisional patent application is approved? (how long does it take for them to let you know usually?) Thanks in advance (p.s. subbed because it's a helpful video - although a bit quiet, I just turned on subtitles and that helped!)
Nice video thanks
Found this very helpful since I have a unique product I designed for myself and want to see if I can get it on the market. My question is what if it’s in CAD? Do I take that as wireframe and mark out each feature for specifications?
Thanks a lot for the great video! I wish I could peak at one of the drawings as example to see what it should look like, but it's ok, I'll try to find it online...
Mine was literally a cartoon sketch
@@empowermultimedia totally agree! I have filed so many patents and no need to be all fancy
@@TheLiezellopez Thank you for your input! What I was taught at my university is the real patent is when you actually need to be very detailed.
One question asked was the application filed originally on paper, what does that mean exactly? Also thanks for the information very helpful.
Thanks for your guidance with this! It was a little frustrating uploading my pdf drawings though. The solution was to make them into png files, then back to pdf's. Somehow this worked...
Hey Tim! How did you upload the PDF, iv'e been struggling for an hour trying to figure this out! Any advice or guidance would be awesome
Wow that was simple, I have a question tho. Do you need a cover sheet? And is ‘transmittal of new application’ necessary today?
Very interesting!
hey bro, so i got it all in but i was only charged $60. shouldn't i have been charged for the filing fee as well as for the micro status? i wonder if i needed to add something in on the page where it aske for number of pages
mine is asking if I am filing a PETITION with my Provisional Utility Patent Application? I don't know how to answer that... so I am selecting "No"... Anyone have this issue?
Thank you very much!!
You're welcome!
great video thank you
Arial Mt error please someone help i tried everything and nothing seems to work
Thank you so much! Better than the USPTO videos!
Hi
I can’t seem to get my PDF files to upload….if the title of invention is in the file name will that cause this error?
Thanks bro for your help god bless ya
Of course! take care :)
Thank you very much.
It's my pleasure.

How do u get those document to fill out? Cause I'm thinkon you just do these steps u see in the video and its complete.. which its not
Thank you so much!
Thank you for your help👍
Thanks, like and subscribe!
How do you change the application type? I tapped on the wrong application type by mistake and can’t seem to go back and change it
One question, after paying the fee.. how long until I can see the ppa?
Thx for the vid
How do I access this page? I can't seem to get to it. I have everything else finished. Please advise thank you
You said in the beginning there is another type of patent. When do you need that type and what does it do?
Great value here! Thank you for taking the time!
Thank you for the feedback!
Thank you 🙏
2:05 - That ADS... What is it?, where do I get it from?, because on the USPTO it won't, it freezes to "Please Wait".
:-)
My Adobe Reader is up to date, I've restarted, tries all browsers... No use! So, what's with the ADS?...
god, what a disaster the USPTO website is. There are so many contradictions, duplicate forms with slight variations, dead links, dead buttons, bloated and outdated documents, error messages....
wish i'd come across this video before i wasted all day trying to work it out. thank you!
Don’t even get me started. It is like they’re trying to make it difficult to navigate
Thanks so good ! Where do you get the special forms from ?
Do I have to put my actual signature on these or can I just type it? And is so how without printing signing and re-scanning.
If I have an online cloud saas type software I developed just wondering what “drawings” would I upload. Users would subscribe to use my online service… Would I provide screenshots of the login pages, interface?
Hi, I have a full patent on a safety device that will be expiring soon. The attorney told me it would be about $6,000. to get it up-to-date. I can’t afford that but I would like to continue being the rightful intellectual property owner. Would it be a good idea to do a provisional patent on it now? And just keep doing that until I can afford to do another full, National Patent?
THANK YOU. FOR THOSE WHO MIGHT HAVE PROBLEM I HAVE LEARNED WHEN YOU ARE SAVING AS PDF YOU CLICK OPTIONS ON THE SAVE SCREEN WITH PDF SELECTED AS SAVE TYPE AND IT NEEDS TO BE A PDF/A COMPLIANT! FIND IT UNDER THE OPITONS BUTTON
I understand EFS.uspto is no longer working right?? It's now Patent Center only. However, thanks sooooo much for this tutorial. Helped me with my first Prov. Patent.
On another hand, now the Patent Center says I don't have a privilege to Patent??? Weird.
Great video! So, just to clarify, do you number the parts of your invention and then describe them in detail on the specification page? Can you elaborate a bit on what the specification page contains and its format? Thanks.
Yes, that is how I did it.
In terms of the specfications it's usually numbered based on the drawing. If you labeled a hand component #3 you would specify what it's done, it's function, etc.
Remember, I'm not a patent attorney, they would be able to go way more in depth with you. If you're doing something serious I'd recommend seeking a patent attorney.
Do u have to have the exact name of the brand or can u just upload the idea with no name and a drawling?
I have an idea for an invention, I just found out that someone else thought of my idea as well. Luckily, my idea is a bit different and a different material. I can still patent my idea right? And I had another question, can I use someone elses material to make my product? For example, if I bought windows from Home Depot, and converted them into stained glass, would I get sued? Thank you, very educational video.
If you all haven't seen a documentary called... It's worse than you think.. by Revelations of Jesus Christ ministries... I suggest you do...All praise and glory to the most high Jesus Christ
It won't let me pay the fees. Strange. Anyone have this problem or a solution? Thx!
What if your idea was created by you, but owned by your business that you created for your idea? Do you still put the inventor as yourself or your company?
Question buddy... I forgot to leave my phone number on my certification of Micro Entity Status form. I did sign and date. Is this or will this cause an issue? My telephone number is listed a few times on the SB16 Cover Sheet which i also submitted.
I went to the Provisional Patent form, pressed new applications, and I didn't see " Provisional " as a option.
Hi there, how about to register a trade name ? Is it the same procedure?
Thank you
Thank you...Its ruff finding what's needed in their system...Info Overload...so this video was extremely helpful...💯💛

@@empowermultimedia I received my provisional patient...approved 5/27/2022. Thank you for your content. It truly helped.
@@kJack8420 Awesome! Remember you have only 1 year time frame. This gives you time to make significant progress. When you are ready, please and I mean PLEASE, meet with a PATENT ATTORNEY.
Good luck!
Please share this video :)
@@empowermultimedia oh yea.. Thanks for that tidbit as well... I wasn't even thinking about it...Hopefully can get it lienced...but if not get on market myself 🤞🏾
@@kJack8420 Kristy - There is no such thing as a provisional patent. I believe you received a filing receipt for your provisional patent application.
Somehow I submitted and got a receipt but didn't pay the fee. How can I go in an pay the fee?
How do you add documents to your application if you have not paid your filing fee?
At 7:36 you clicked "micro entity" and went very fast..... what's the diff. btw a micro entity and small entity? (I'm looking that up now)
very useful， amazing video
Hey Empower Multimedia, the drawing page you uploaded is that the actual picture of your invention.
quick question, can my drawings and design change down the road after I patent? Lets say I don't have a prototype built and the finish product is subject to change can I still patent it now to protect my interests and change the design later for functionality? @Empower Multimedia
I am not a lawyer, but from what I was taught in class, if the drawings were to change, that will have to be address once you file the actual patent.
A provisional patent application gives you one year of quiet-time while a non-provisional patent application is the first step toward a legally recognized patent. Both are patent pending and both can help you be the first to file.
A provisional patent application is meant to help protect your idea and give you time to perfect it - essentially, hold your place in line. You can submit as soon as you have a basic design for your idea.
Once you’ve researched your idea thoroughly, and the design and function are ready, you can then apply for the non-provisional patent.
Why did you save your cover sheet as a transmittal?
Can i get one of these as a Canadian citizen? And to make it even more convoluted...I live in THailand now!
Thanks for the video it was helpful.
The one thing missing from all the videos I've seen is how to write the specs and description document and if there is a form or template to use. I don't think there's a particular/specific form to use (pls correct me if I'm wrong). There are a few templates online that vary slightly but all have similar sections (title, background, description, etc.)
Did you ever find an answer to this?
@@mike9483 I ended up taking a few templates I found online and pieced together all the common sections. 1 template would have been enough to cover all the major sections. I drafted everything first then copied and pasted/edited into the actual online form. Once you get going it's pretty straight forward. A lot of the sections will seem repetitive.
@@sumadeez2624 Thank you!
The Government has changed there filling. How do I get to this page. filling online.
Lets say for instance I want to patent something in the USA and the examiner does an search, do they only search in USA or world wide. If someone already has a patent in lets say France but has no PCT or they haven't filed in USA does this mean my patent will or won't be granted in the USA.
If for some reason I'm not granted the patent then it will be possible to still manufacture and sell the product in all the other countries where the original patent inventor didn't register in without having any legal ramifications.
Any publication or disclosure ANYWHERE that was publically available before your filing date can serve as prior art. There are a lot of nuances as to what constitutes "publicly", but applications and patents printed/published by national or regional patent offices would be publically available.
should high schoolers use 'Certification of Micro Entity Status' on 'education basis' or 'gross income basis'
Great video Sir I am subd
