This is indeed one of the best presented Provisional Patent Application process that I have ever seen and I have "not a few" patents and patents pending. Well done Mr Jethro!
MOST USEFUL video on RUclips: clear, concise, logical, moving at a digestible PACE. Presents the maximum information/brevity quotient ! Greatest example of a "how-to" presentation of ANY KIND! Bravo, sir.
I read five big books for patenting, written by lawyers for lawyers. This little video explains everything succinctly, It is the best introduction to the art of patent writing I have come across. Great work. Thanks. However, I would like to remind everyone. If your invention is really valuable, do not limit yourself to this intro, no matter how great it is. There is a lot more to writing a patent. A minor oversight can make you lose millions of dollars in revenue.
Thank you very much for that comment. Bets of luck with your provisional, and with getting patent pending. With regards, Jethro L Bennett Captain of SHIINE® ENTERPRISE Creator of The Inventor's Journey™ (TheInventorsJourney.com) Inventor, Professional Product Designer, Elite Patent Specialist

This is excellent. The one thing stopping me is legalese. Does the language of a patent really have to sound like gibberish? I read an entire patent, for a learning game I own, for a field I understand, and yet none of the language in the extremely detailed (and repetetive) patent gave me even a remote understanding of what they were describing. The upstream embodiment of this substrate of the member in the blah blah”. Why not just use plain language? They used no words that actually described what I had sitting right in front of me. Did they do that in order to focus on the *function* of the substrates and embodiments 🙄 without describing them?

It is my understanding that you would not want to specify "kitchen device/utensil/spoon" as this would leave you open to someone else patenting one for some other use outside the kitchen, perhaps for retail or remote catering/serving, portioning, laboratories or some special industrial use. Of course this is not intended to be a real product, but as such, if it's being used as an example, it is my understanding that one should avoid narrowing down the potential applicability as much as possible. There's no reason to call it a "kitchen device", just call it a spoon or a scooping/spooning device. Aloha!
Firstly, it’s good that you’re thinking in this way, about not wanting to ‘over-limit’ the claims (and therefore the patent protection). But in this particular situation…… No. In this particular situation, I would be very happy with the preamble being ‘kitchen utensil device’. And if I was to file it as a patent application tomorrow, that is what I would define it as in the claims. (The preamble is that first bit of the claim, where you say what type of a thing it is that you’re claiming). Firstly, I do not think you would fail to get protection against caterers that move around from location to location, just because they’re not ‘in a kitchen’. It would clearly be a kitchen utensil device, whether it’s being used in a kitchen, or whether someone removes it from the kitchen, (it doesn’t magically ‘stop’ being a kitchen utensil device the moment it leaves that particular room), and I think any argument against that would be extremely spurious. In terms of your concern that it wouldn’t get protection for things like laboratory or industrial use, to be deadly honest, I wouldn’t be interested in that. That’s not really what the invention is, or is for. If you can think of any killer applications in a laboratory or for some industrial use, please feel free to shout them out. But it seems a bit far-fetched. Also, an argument for NOT broadening the preamble this much (ie broadening to just claiming a ‘utensil’ or ‘device’ instead of a ‘kitchen utensil device’) is that, in the UK (my home patent office) and some other patenting territories, the preamble can actually be a limiting factor in terms of the search the examiner conducts. So by broadening the preamble to ‘utensil’ or ‘device’, it could heavily broaden the search the examiner does, and therefore make it more likely prior art could/would come up in the examiner’s search. Given that I’m only interested in claiming a kitchen utensil device, and not interested in ‘industrial uses’ and the like, this would not be advantageous. As stated, it could lead to greater likelihood of prior art coming up in the search, and also could prolong the examination process. (At the USPTO, as opposed to UK patenting, the preamble tends NOT to be used as a limiting factor in the search by USPTO examiners, so they may well search very broadly, and could bring up ‘non-kitchen-type’ products, inventions, disclosures etc as prior art. Even in that situation, in this particular case, I would still probably stick to the preamble of ‘kitchen utensil device’ as I really think that’s the heart of what the invention is, and I’m not really interested in claiming more than that in this case). Finally, it’s interesting you bring this point up, (ie not over-limiting in the preamble), because I actually mention that exact point, in this program, later on. I mention that I’ve intentionally NOT claimed the invention just as a ‘spoon’, but instead have gone for the broader term ‘kitchen utensil device’, just in case the invention concept could be used for something like a ladle, (which someone could try to argue is not a type of ‘spoon’). (Other way to deal with that would be to mention in the patent application Specification that a ladle is deemed to be a type of ‘spoon’, and to then just use ‘spoon’ as the preamble). But all in all, no, I’m very happy with the preamble ‘kitchen utensil device’. If you want to see the part of this program (iPatentPending™), where I mention about this (ie making sure your preamble is not over-limited, you can actually watch it free on the 10 day free trial when you click the Free Trial button here: theinventorsjourney.com/crewmember.html . (You can cancel any time within the first ten days and you won’t pay a thing, and still get to keep the templates). So, in Summary. Good point, and good to be thinking in this way. But no, I would not change ‘kitchen utensil device’ in this case. I think it’s bang on the mark.

next you need time reversal spoon - for when you regret dumping the liquid .. for those moments when the food in your spoon becomes too dry. jokes aside this video is so helpful and haven't even finished watching. thumb up
Question: Is there any specific template/formatting required for that document? Are these questions asked within the online application or would you be uploading the word doc shown in the video as a PDF?
The provisional application, like a non-provisional, has certain required "parts", but the parts are generally "free form" to suit your needs, other than the officially required "cover sheet" and other admin forms.

The USPTO likes patent applications to follow a distinct layout for specifications. Everything should be in a certain order. You don't even come close to following those guidelines. Your bait should be better if you want the fish to bite.
Hi I have an idea that would add a bit of pizazz to a particular product That’s already on the market so how would I go about making it mine without someone steeling my idea ? Thanks
Thank you for your guidance. Once you receive PPA & a company asks if you have a patent , what should your response be? Like if they have not given an option to say patent pending... In their on line system of entry. I hope you understand me.🙆☺Thanks in advance for a response.
Hi, Aya. Couple of things. You do not 'receive' a PPA- you FILE a PPA. Once filed, you are 'patent pending'. You do NOT have a patent. (Even after filing a NON-provisional, you do not have a patent- that only comes once your non-provisional is examined and you hopefully go on to get it GRANTED). So the answer, if asked whether you have a patent, is NO.

@@ayamore8885 Aya, one last thing- filing a provisional (to get patent pending), and then going public or trying to license your invention based just off of that is 'old technology', has been proved to be extremely unsuccessful in the start-up inventor industry, and is potentially extremely dangerous to your patenting, in almost all territories in the world, apart from the U.S., where there is no '12 month grace period'. Why would you, when you can get official patent office results, in as quick as 18 days after filing, like you can see with Giuseppe (and me giving him his results on Skype) here: theinventorsjourney.com/step4.html#giuseppe18days With The Inventor's Journey™, we use that 12 months (from the provisional filing date), to get all these things done, and only go public or try to license, in step 8 (the final step) of The Inventor's Journey™.

Hello What good is a PPA If while I'm selling my Patent Pending product, someone copies it and and there's nothing I can do about them since I can't sue them? Thank you
QUESTION...If I filed and received a provisional patent say in January,I finally received a interested party in the following December, could I REFILE another (renewed same)provisional patent and receive another year of protection?
thanks for the video. I'm trying to build an app, and it does couple things within the app, so do i write one patent for each step or i can write them all into one patent? eg. bowflex exercise equipment. the machine does a bunch of exercise. so do i write each patent for each part or i can write it all in one. thanks again
hi,I'm trying to write my own PPA and people in my country don't have a Visa card or PayPal and etc and neither I do, how can I join your 10-day trial? is there any way you can help me? thx
Is it true that design patents do not have a provisional patent application option? I’m just finding this out and I’m crushed. I’m already selling my product/design and I’m terrified of it getting stolen.
In the summary of invention you highlighted "a movable back part". If i showed this to prospective licensees, wouldn't they be able to design around it by making a "movable front part"? I know that this is just an example, but did i catch a flaw in this application?
Hi Elric. No- there's no flaw. Later in the program I explain exactly this point, (to warn inventors), and we change that term to 'movable element' (so it's not limited to being at the front).

@@JacobPatrick1 finding problem is the first step to solution. You can never find a solution if you don't see a problem. Right now there is no solution to this problem so it's better to discard this invention rather than using it with all the germs accumulated underneath.
@@agentlier6974, I agree Identifying an area for improvement is the first step. I wouldn't say there is no solution. Despite him saying this isn't a real invention I already can see multiple ways it can be cleaned or disinfected. 1) Vapor or steam cleaning 2) Submerged in a cleaning solution (added movement will help) 3) Strong jets of soapy water shot in between the grooves 4) A brush with bristles/sponge that can fit in between. 5) Add a hinge to give space between the two objects 6) Make the pieces detachable from each other. These are just off the top of my head. I'm sure there are many more and better solutions as well.

Excellent video, I'm writing my provisional now with your sections helping me understand what's required. I notice that in your background you refer to devices that accomplish both tasks of your patent but not one exists that does both. Would this be regarded as an improvement patent on current IP and as such mean you cannot sell without licensing from both previous incarnations (If "In Force" patents exist)? Thanks!
Fantastic vlog it was so easy to follow and understand, credit to you and thank you for uploading it for our benefit. Now my dilemma, I'm a relatively new English Product Developer based in Bolton Manchester, predominantly designing "tactical products" offering military functions within The MoD/NATO/Defence markets. I'm looking without success for the correct link to file for a "PPA" in The States for civilian themed products I've designed & proven but as yet having no luck in finding the correct link to file under on the UPTSO to fulfill this criteria? Could somebody please inform or point me to the correct link where I can file my new product(s) so I'm confidently able to offer them "out to licence" to the larger American Automotive Companies without going through the normal process of running the lengthy gauntlet of MoD/NATO approval as I have an array of alternate products not needing "tactical" approval and feel I'm missing out on a huge end user market by sticking to my military based design structure? Regards in advance, Phil R
Hi, Phil. Thank you for the comments. For any military type products, it may well be worth quickly first phoning the UK Patent Office (UK IPO) to check whether it's ok for you to file first abroad, (if that's a strategy you're considering). I've sent you an email about the fact you may be able to file first at the UK Patent Office for less. (I always file first at the UKIPO, even if I'm ultimately wanting U.S patent protection, because I can use my 'non-paid' GB patent application number to 'claim priority' back to, if I file my U.S. non-provisional patent application within 12 months of my GB application filing. After you've checked/phoned the UKIPO, feel free to get back. With regards, The Captain (www.TheInventorsJourney.com) *Note: The above is provided by way of information and experience alone.

Dear Jethro, I have a new invention but I am not sure how to write a patent doc that prevents others from designing around it. For example, there are many ways to solve any problem. They may vary widely from one another. So how can a single patent doc cover all the infinite number of possible solutions to one problem?
There are several great books written for lawyers that tells you how to do it. You can, for example, make several claims and in each claim describe one possible variation (embodiment) of your invention. Or as Gonzo said, make your claims in the broadest way possible. Also, read as many patent claims as possible until you make sense of it. You can also hire a patent writer or a patent lawyer. This can cost you an arm and a leg. If your invention is a money maker, you should seek professional advise. But nothing is better than becoming an expert yourself. Make sure you read books that teach lawyers how to write patents. Books written for the do it yourself people is never exhaustive enough. Anyone can write a patent, a good patent is the one that cannot be beaten in a court.
@@alisina1472 Anyone can write a provisional patent....begin licensing immediately and include them paying for boilerplate patenting as part of the deal.
Hi Jeff, there seems to be a lack of or no video teaching about the patenting of a Process. Specifically, I am interested in processes excluding programming. I am not sure what are all the processes that are considered as patentable Pocesses
Hi, Cosmo! Bit more of a specialized area. I actually am currently prosecuting one of my own inventions at the USPTO for more of a 'method' type invention, and the examiner says the USPTO rules on these things have changed quite a lot recently. (Many US practitioners know about this, and about the 'Alice Corp.' case). It may be worth you looking to get a free consultation with a US patent attorney (you can usually see on their website if they specialize in that area). Many patent attorneys will do a free initial consultation. I'm afraid I cannot offer anything just at the moment. With greatest regards, The Captain
@@shiinetheinventorsjourney8012 Glad to hear from you once more Jeff! No worries. It's not a question needing an urgent answer and I will explore further

Is a patent agent allowed to be a inventor ? Is every patent agent in say uspto allowed to use their database and search for prior art for their own inventions?
Wouldn't you first have to do a patent search to make sure you're not infringing on someone else's patent before you undertake drafting a provisional patent?
No. But having a high quality worldwide patent search done before drafting your provisional patent application is very wise. That's why it's step 1 of The Inventor's Journey™ (TheInventorsJourney.com/step1.html). The reason for this is that, if you DON'T get a patent search done first, you may spend a lot of time (and energy) in your provisional patent application, disclosing things about your invention that it turns out were not even patentable. But if you get the world-class patent search done FIRST, the patent search (if done properly) often makes it clear what you CAN, and CANNOT, patent. You can then focus all your energy in your provisional patent application just on the stuff you CAN patent. So it can make it much easier and quicker to do. That's why the patent search is Step 1 of The Inventor's Journey™, and getting patent pending with a provisional patent application is Step 2, right after! With greatest regards, and good luck with your invention.

Hello I have an idea to improve recycling process and can be implemented nationwide if not world wide. It’s a process that would implement existing technology to improve recycling process. Is it logical to try to patent something like this and can it even be patented?
Yes, there are classifications of utility patents that would include the new, useful and non-obvious processes for improving a recycling process. Your goal would be to figure out all existing implementations ever disclosed in any publication or used in public and how yours is somehow different in ways that are patentable.
Hello. I have more of a concept for a range of toy "figures" where these certain figures already exist, but are a different and original brand. How could I use you your sheet to suit my concept? Yeah I'm a noob to all of this ;)
Hi David. I cannot give personalized advice. But I can give you this info. A 'brand' concept is not an invention. In the UK, this type of thing may fall more under the category of registering a Design, or perhaps under the category of Trademark. But even that might not be appropriate. Trademarks can protect a particular brand name (and other aspects). Really very hard to say without knowing more, but this video does not seem to be relevant to your situation- this video is about protecting an invention (ie something having at least one inventive step). With regards,
Hi Sir, thanks for your educational tutorial. If an invention has 5 embodiments described in the sections of the patent specification before the claims section, does it mean these embodiments should be recited in the claims section else these embodiments will be not be protected by the patent? If recited in the claims section, should each embodiment be written as an Independent claim? 5 indpendent claims? Or each embodiment can also be a dependent claim of only one Independent claim?

My views on patenting changed after watching more videos on this channel. Very enlightening. Is it possible to hire patent agents to just write a provisional application for me? Is it still very costly? Can Shine help me write one? Thanks guru!
Hi Cosmo. I have something very exciting lined up for helping all inventors get patent pending on any invention you want, at any time, in the future.

SHIINE® The Inventor's Journey™ Thanks. Am i right that the provisional application constrains the scope of the claims in some ways such that, a unprofessionally written provisional is as worthless as a full patent written unprofessionally since weaknesses in the drafting allows others to Design Around the patent?
So funny you ask this. I'm just creating a program right now, called iPerfectPending™, which is about exactly what you're talking about- and showing everything about how a provisional patent application works, and the 'rules' for whether it will get you the early filing date for your future granted patent... This type of question cannot be answered in just one soundbite in a way that would give you complete understanding here, which is why iPerfectPending™ has over 20 videos as part of the program!! I cannot give legal advice or comment on your situation personally, but here's how it tends to work: For any given 'claim' in your future GRANTED patent, if your provisional patent application clearly discloses and shows that EXACT invention, as defined in that CLAIM that you have had GRANTED, then you get the EARLY FILING DATE of your PROVISIONAL patent application for that claim, rather than just the filing date of your NON-provisional patent application. As you can see, for new inventors, this could be really confusing, so I've created a program that deals completely with this (iPerfectPending™), and will turn you into a semi-pro on this, in a very short amount of time. I hope to have this program finished within 8 weeks. It's a very important program for all start-up inventors. Very important question you're asking, and a very good sign for your learning that you're starting to ask this type of question.

The following is not advice- Only information is provided: There's an agreement between almost every patent office in the world (called the 'Paris Agreement'), which means a patent application filed in one territory can be used as a basis for priority for a patent application filed in any other territory, as long as it's filed within 12 months. So no reason not to use this program to file via the USPTO website, and then use that to 'claim priority' back to when filing a full (non-provisional) patent application in any other territory, within 12 months of the USPTO filing.

Hi, I live in Hong Kong and I want to apply for a Provisional Patent in the USA. But I have a question. If I applied for a PPA in the USA do I still need to apply for PPAs in other countries like Australia, Europe, China, etc? And does one Provisional application in the USA enough to buy me time and protect my invention worldwide and give me the "right to claim priority" until I apply for a non-provisional patent within a year? Thanks!
Roland, whilst I can't give personalized legal advice, I can give the information that, due to an agreement called the Paris Convention, when a patent application is filed at any one territory, as long as a second patent application is filed in another territory (or territories) within 12 months of the first patent application, priority can be claimed. I often file a first patent application in the UK, and I can use that to claim priority to when I then file a non-provisional patent application at the USPTO, or any other patent office.

Hi TZK. The program is detailed, and very few inventors have questions after creating their application. However, there are free resources an inventor can use, such as the Inventor's Assistance Centre at the USPTO. Most just create their application, and file it, using the USPTO Filing Video which comes with the program. If you're unsure, why not try the full 10 Day Free Trial.

There SO is!! Jethro L Bennett Captain of SHIINE® ENTERPRISE Creator of The Inventor's Journey™ (TheInventorsJourney.com) Inventor, Professional Product Designer, Elite Patent Specialist
There's no 'result' with a PPA. A PPA is never 'search and examined' by the patent office, so there's no 'result'. (Only a NON-provisional patent application is searched and examined). You simply become 'patent pending' on all the information/disclosure that is in your PPA, the moment the online filing is completed and generates you a patent application number. So you are patent pending 'instantly'. But you never get any 'result'.

hi, do you have any video on filing the non provisional online assuming a provisional has been submitted one year ago. im sure it will help others. cheers
I have a whole program dedicated to that, called iPatentWriter™ (Full name: iHaveThePower™ to draft and file my own full patent application).

Hi superman. How to file a non-provisional patent application at the USPTO comes as part of either the program iPatentWriter™, or part of the LightSpeed PerfectPatent™ Package, which is step 4 of The Inventor's Journey™ (TheInventorsJourney.com). Filing a Non-Provisional at the USPTO is a bit more complex because more forms need to be filed and more documents too (Abstract, Claims, etc). You can get the whole iPatentWriter™ program (with full tuition/videos on how to draft a non-provisional patent application, including detailed information on patent 'claims') here (Full 30 day money back guarantee, no questions asked, included): patentsuntranslated.com/ipatentwriter-plans.html It shows exactly how to fill out all the forms, including the Micro-Entity Status form that can get you 75% reduction in fees, and the slightly epic AIA0014 form, which can be very very confusing unless you see how to fill it out. The program saves you up to $6000 or more on using a patent attorney.

Facts
This is indeed one of the best presented Provisional Patent Application process that I have ever seen and I have "not a few" patents and patents pending. Well done Mr Jethro!
MOST USEFUL video on RUclips: clear, concise, logical, moving at a digestible PACE. Presents the maximum information/brevity quotient !
Greatest example of a "how-to" presentation of ANY KIND! Bravo, sir.
Best video I've found explaining how to file my own provisional patent. Easy to understand and follow, saved me $1200 in attorney fees.
wow, this was great. One of the most informative videos in youtube.
No wonder you have over 1.1k views! WOW! I am writing mine over and over while listening to this over and over!
I read five big books for patenting, written by lawyers for lawyers. This little video explains everything succinctly, It is the best introduction to the art of patent writing I have come across. Great work. Thanks. However, I would like to remind everyone. If your invention is really valuable, do not limit yourself to this intro, no matter how great it is. There is a lot more to writing a patent. A minor oversight can make you lose millions of dollars in revenue.
This is one of the best videos I have ever seen, great speaker, effective, efficient & clean communication. AMAZING. thank YOU.
Thank you very much for that comment.
Bets of luck with your provisional, and with getting patent pending.

This is excellent. The one thing stopping me is legalese. Does the language of a patent really have to sound like gibberish? I read an entire patent, for a learning game I own, for a field I understand, and yet none of the language in the extremely detailed (and repetetive) patent gave me even a remote understanding of what they were describing. The upstream embodiment of this substrate of the member in the blah blah”. Why not just use plain language? They used no words that actually described what I had sitting right in front of me. Did they do that in order to focus on the *function* of the substrates and embodiments 🙄 without describing them?
Good work.

Why isn't your channel available in the US?
Is there another explanation of the step-by-step process of patenting a patent in USPTO, knowing that I am now registered in PCT
Are CLAIMS and BEST MODE required? It's confusing. Some say it does and some say no. Your video don't show them.
i cant goto his channel in my country...
Is there a minimum and maximum length of each section?
It is my understanding that you would not want to specify "kitchen device/utensil/spoon" as this would leave you open to someone else patenting one for some other use outside the kitchen, perhaps for retail or remote catering/serving, portioning, laboratories or some special industrial use.
Of course this is not intended to be a real product, but as such, if it's being used as an example, it is my understanding that one should avoid narrowing down the potential applicability as much as possible. There's no reason to call it a "kitchen device", just call it a spoon or a scooping/spooning device. Aloha!
Firstly, it’s good that you’re thinking in this way, about not wanting to ‘over-limit’ the claims (and therefore the patent protection). But in this particular situation……
No. In this particular situation, I would be very happy with the preamble being ‘kitchen utensil device’. And if I was to file it as a patent application tomorrow, that is what I would define it as in the claims. (The preamble is that first bit of the claim, where you say what type of a thing it is that you’re claiming).
Firstly, I do not think you would fail to get protection against caterers that move around from location to location, just because they’re not ‘in a kitchen’. It would clearly be a kitchen utensil device, whether it’s being used in a kitchen, or whether someone removes it from the kitchen, (it doesn’t magically ‘stop’ being a kitchen utensil device the moment it leaves that particular room), and I think any argument against that would be extremely spurious.
In terms of your concern that it wouldn’t get protection for things like laboratory or industrial use, to be deadly honest, I wouldn’t be interested in that. That’s not really what the invention is, or is for. If you can think of any killer applications in a laboratory or for some industrial use, please feel free to shout them out. But it seems a bit far-fetched. Also, an argument for NOT broadening the preamble this much (ie broadening to just claiming a ‘utensil’ or ‘device’ instead of a ‘kitchen utensil device’) is that, in the UK (my home patent office) and some other patenting territories, the preamble can actually be a limiting factor in terms of the search the examiner conducts. So by broadening the preamble to ‘utensil’ or ‘device’, it could heavily broaden the search the examiner does, and therefore make it more likely prior art could/would come up in the examiner’s search. Given that I’m only interested in claiming a kitchen utensil device, and not interested in ‘industrial uses’ and the like, this would not be advantageous. As stated, it could lead to greater likelihood of prior art coming up in the search, and also could prolong the examination process.
(At the USPTO, as opposed to UK patenting, the preamble tends NOT to be used as a limiting factor in the search by USPTO examiners, so they may well search very broadly, and could bring up ‘non-kitchen-type’ products, inventions, disclosures etc as prior art. Even in that situation, in this particular case, I would still probably stick to the preamble of ‘kitchen utensil device’ as I really think that’s the heart of what the invention is, and I’m not really interested in claiming more than that in this case).
Finally, it’s interesting you bring this point up, (ie not over-limiting in the preamble), because I actually mention that exact point, in this program, later on. I mention that I’ve intentionally NOT claimed the invention just as a ‘spoon’, but instead have gone for the broader term ‘kitchen utensil device’, just in case the invention concept could be used for something like a ladle, (which someone could try to argue is not a type of ‘spoon’). (Other way to deal with that would be to mention in the patent application Specification that a ladle is deemed to be a type of ‘spoon’, and to then just use ‘spoon’ as the preamble). But all in all, no, I’m very happy with the preamble ‘kitchen utensil device’.
If you want to see the part of this program (iPatentPending™), where I mention about this (ie making sure your preamble is not over-limited, you can actually watch it free on the 10 day free trial when you click the Free Trial button here: theinventorsjourney.com/crewmember.html . (You can cancel any time within the first ten days and you won’t pay a thing, and still get to keep the templates).
So, in Summary. Good point, and good to be thinking in this way. But no, I would not change ‘kitchen utensil device’ in this case. I think it’s bang on the mark.

next you need time reversal spoon - for when you regret dumping the liquid .. for those moments when the food in your spoon becomes too dry. jokes aside this video is so helpful and haven't even finished watching. thumb up
What if my invention doesn’t solve a problem? It’s something that provides opportunity but doesn’t solve a problem. Is it not patentable?
Question: Is there any specific template/formatting required for that document? Are these questions asked within the online application or would you be uploading the word doc shown in the video as a PDF?
The provisional application, like a non-provisional, has certain required "parts", but the parts are generally "free form" to suit your needs, other than the officially required "cover sheet" and other admin forms.

How long should it be, surely it can't be only one page?
Mine is 100% granted by the U.S. gov. so if ya wanna provide info lets fast forward to marketing and/or licensing.
The USPTO likes patent applications to follow a distinct layout for specifications. Everything should be in a certain order. You don't even come close to following those guidelines. Your bait should be better if you want the fish to bite.
Hi I have an idea that would add a bit of pizazz to a particular product That’s already on the market so how would I go about making it mine without someone steeling my idea ? Thanks
Is there any difference using this to the UK patent office? (UK based)
Thank you for your guidance. Once you receive PPA & a company asks if you have a patent , what should your response be? Like if they have not given an option to say patent pending... In their on line system of entry. I hope you understand me.🙆☺Thanks in advance for a response.
Hi, Aya. Couple of things. You do not 'receive' a PPA- you FILE a PPA. Once filed, you are 'patent pending'. You do NOT have a patent. (Even after filing a NON-provisional, you do not have a patent- that only comes once your non-provisional is examined and you hopefully go on to get it GRANTED). So the answer, if asked whether you have a patent, is NO.

@@shiinetheinventorsjourney8012 Thank you so much for your helpful resources & answers.
@@ayamore8885 Aya, one last thing- filing a provisional (to get patent pending), and then going public or trying to license your invention based just off of that is 'old technology', has been proved to be extremely unsuccessful in the start-up inventor industry, and is potentially extremely dangerous to your patenting, in almost all territories in the world, apart from the U.S., where there is no '12 month grace period'. Why would you, when you can get official patent office results, in as quick as 18 days after filing, like you can see with Giuseppe (and me giving him his results on Skype) here: theinventorsjourney.com/step4.html#giuseppe18days
With The Inventor's Journey™, we use that 12 months (from the provisional filing date), to get all these things done, and only go public or try to license, in step 8 (the final step) of The Inventor's Journey™. Much less risky.

Hello
What good is a PPA If while I'm selling my Patent Pending product, someone copies it and and there's nothing I can do about them since I can't sue them? Thank you
QUESTION...If I filed and received a provisional patent say in January,I finally received a interested party in the following December, could I REFILE another (renewed same)provisional patent and receive another year of protection?
thanks for the video. I'm trying to build an app, and it does couple things within the app, so do i write one patent for each step or i can write them all into one patent? eg. bowflex exercise equipment. the machine does a bunch of exercise. so do i write each patent for each part or i can write it all in one. thanks again

Is it true that design patents do not have a provisional patent application option? I’m just finding this out and I’m crushed. I’m already selling my product/design and I’m terrified of it getting stolen.
I’m starting to freak out!!!😫
In the summary of invention you highlighted "a movable back part". If i showed this to prospective licensees, wouldn't they be able to design around it by making a "movable front part"? I know that this is just an example, but did i catch a flaw in this application?
Hi Elric. No- there's no flaw. Later in the program I explain exactly this point, (to warn inventors), and we change that term to 'movable element' (so it's not limited to being at the front).

The problem with spoon is it can not be cleaned between underneath the moving parts.
... so what is the solution? If there's a problem, there's a solution. Be solutions-oriented rather than just a problem finder.
@@JacobPatrick1 finding problem is the first step to solution. You can never find a solution if you don't see a problem. Right now there is no solution to this problem so it's better to discard this invention rather than using it with all the germs accumulated underneath.
@@agentlier6974, I agree Identifying an area for improvement is the first step. I wouldn't say there is no solution. Despite him saying this isn't a real invention I already can see multiple ways it can be cleaned or disinfected.
1) Vapor or steam cleaning
2) Submerged in a cleaning solution
(added movement will help)
3) Strong jets of soapy water shot in between the grooves
4) A brush with bristles/sponge that can fit in between.
5) Add a hinge to give space between the two objects
6) Make the pieces detachable from each other.
These are just off the top of my head. I'm sure there are many more and better solutions as well.

Excellent video, I'm writing my provisional now with your sections helping me understand what's required. I notice that in your background you refer to devices that accomplish both tasks of your patent but not one exists that does both. Would this be regarded as an improvement patent on current IP and as such mean you cannot sell without licensing from both previous incarnations (If "In Force" patents exist)? Thanks!
did you ever figure that out?
I didn't. Thankfully, it didn't apply to my patent application in the end and I was able to take it a different route. @@ripsaw2322
Fantastic vlog it was so easy to follow and understand, credit to you and thank you for uploading it for our benefit.
Now my dilemma, I'm a relatively new English Product Developer based in Bolton Manchester, predominantly designing "tactical products" offering military functions within The MoD/NATO/Defence markets.
I'm looking without success for the correct link to file for a "PPA" in The States for civilian themed products I've designed & proven but as yet having no luck in finding the correct link to file under on the UPTSO to fulfill this criteria?
Could somebody please inform or point me to the correct link where I can file my new product(s) so I'm confidently able to offer them "out to licence" to the larger American Automotive Companies without going through the normal process of running the lengthy gauntlet of MoD/NATO approval as I have an array of alternate products not needing "tactical" approval and feel I'm missing out on a huge end user market by sticking to my military based design structure?
Regards in advance,
Phil R
Hi, Phil. Thank you for the comments. For any military type products, it may well be worth quickly first phoning the UK Patent Office (UK IPO) to check whether it's ok for you to file first abroad, (if that's a strategy you're considering). I've sent you an email about the fact you may be able to file first at the UK Patent Office for less. (I always file first at the UKIPO, even if I'm ultimately wanting U.S patent protection, because I can use my 'non-paid' GB patent application number to 'claim priority' back to, if I file my U.S. non-provisional patent application within 12 months of my GB application filing. After you've checked/phoned the UKIPO, feel free to get back.
With regards,

Thanks Captain I've just replied via email and yes I am able to offer and protect abroad due to regulations granted thro The MoD/NATO
Outstanding research source you've putten together and for a newbie like me its invaluable access to trade tips and tricks so thank you from everyone in my position Captain.
Dear Jethro, I have a new invention but I am not sure how to write a patent doc that prevents others from designing around it. For example, there are many ways to solve any problem. They may vary widely from one another. So how can a single patent doc cover all the infinite number of possible solutions to one problem?
Cosmo John : one is able to do it but be very broad in the claims not to specific.
There are several great books written for lawyers that tells you how to do it. You can, for example, make several claims and in each claim describe one possible variation (embodiment) of your invention. Or as Gonzo said, make your claims in the broadest way possible. Also, read as many patent claims as possible until you make sense of it. You can also hire a patent writer or a patent lawyer. This can cost you an arm and a leg. If your invention is a money maker, you should seek professional advise. But nothing is better than becoming an expert yourself. Make sure you read books that teach lawyers how to write patents. Books written for the do it yourself people is never exhaustive enough. Anyone can write a patent, a good patent is the one that cannot be beaten in a court.
@@alisina1472 Anyone can write a provisional patent....begin licensing immediately and include them paying for boilerplate patenting as part of the deal.
There is no video on the next step , the drawings
Hi Jeff, there seems to be a lack of or no video teaching about the patenting of a Process. Specifically, I am interested in processes excluding programming. I am not sure what are all the processes that are considered as patentable Pocesses
Hi, Cosmo! Bit more of a specialized area. I actually am currently prosecuting one of my own inventions at the USPTO for more of a 'method' type invention, and the examiner says the USPTO rules on these things have changed quite a lot recently. (Many US practitioners know about this, and about the 'Alice Corp.' case). It may be worth you looking to get a free consultation with a US patent attorney (you can usually see on their website if they specialize in that area). Many patent attorneys will do a free initial consultation. I'm afraid I cannot offer anything just at the moment.
With greatest regards,
The Captain
@@shiinetheinventorsjourney8012 Glad to hear from you once more Jeff! No worries. It's not a question needing an urgent answer and I will explore further
Is it possible to get 12 months protection on a trademark application like inventions.
Thank you !!
Thanks 🙏
make sure you do not have any spaces on your document description if not they will not upload example formsb16 is good not form sb16 no spaces folks
Great point! The USPTO efs-web filing system won't allow filenames that have spaces (and some other punctuation too). However, this is all explained in the USPTO PPA Filing Video, which comes free with iPatentPending™- and again can be unlocked totally free on the free trial via the link in the video description, above. We also have a video that explains how to overcome annoying 'validation' issues when the USPTO system won't upload your files.

Love your channel! Can an LLC file for the PPA and are there any disadvantages to doing this? I plan to approach the different companies using the LLC since when I get the royalties, I want the royalties to be paid to the LLC.
Yes, an LLC can sign a Power of Attorney to authorize a "patent practitioner" to file a provisional or a utility application on behalf of the LLC and the named inventors.
Hello, how to qualify a macro entity applicant if I am not a US citizen, more exactly a foreigner to apply a non provisional patent, anyone has this experience and knowledge.
Bill, the program iPatentPending™ (freely available) includes screen-capture footage of how to download the required form for MICRO ENTITY STATUS (75% reduction in fees) from the USPTO website, and shows screen capture footage of filling the form out, (which is very simple). It also shows how to check whether you qualify for Micro Entity status. There is no requirement to be from the U.S. You can get access to the program fully unlocked, even on the 10 Day Free Trial by clicking on the 10 DAY FREE TRIAL button on this link.

where is the video for the drawing?
Is a patent agent allowed to be a inventor ? Is every patent agent in say uspto allowed to use their database and search for prior art for their own inventions?
Very nice. Thanks for the video. Can I file provisional application for my mobile app ?
If your mobile app contains a new, useful and non-obvious invention then you could theoretically qualify for a patent on that structure or process.
Wouldn't you first have to do a patent search to make sure you're not infringing on someone else's patent before you undertake drafting a provisional patent?
No. But having a high quality worldwide patent search done before drafting your provisional patent application is very wise. That's why it's step 1 of The Inventor's Journey™ (TheInventorsJourney.com/step1.html). The reason for this is that, if you DON'T get a patent search done first, you may spend a lot of time (and energy) in your provisional patent application, disclosing things about your invention that it turns out were not even patentable. But if you get the world-class patent search done FIRST, the patent search (if done properly) often makes it clear what you CAN, and CANNOT, patent. You can then focus all your energy in your provisional patent application just on the stuff you CAN patent. So it can make it much easier and quicker to do. That's why the patent search is Step 1 of The Inventor's Journey™, and getting patent pending with a provisional patent application is Step 2, right after!
With greatest regards, and good luck with your invention.

Hey thanks a ton mate!!
What if the idea has no problems for it to solve?
If you are filing a PPA with the US Patent and Trademark Office, notice the address bar (URL) with an orange triangle in your Firefox browser, and after clicking on the "i" next to it, you will see that the connection is not secure. As of this posting (3 March 2020), the site STILL is insecure. I did an extensive amount of research and posted the results in a report, "The gaping security hole in a US Government website", which can be found at Inventors Assistance Center at www.inventorsassistancecenter.biz/help-with-your-invention. My advice to everyone is to read this report and file elsewhere.
Thank You
Thanks, EastCoast.

Hello I have an idea to improve recycling process and can be implemented nationwide if not world wide. It’s a process that would implement existing technology to improve recycling process. Is it logical to try to patent something like this and can it even be patented?
Yes, there are classifications of utility patents that would include the new, useful and non-obvious processes for improving a recycling process. Your goal would be to figure out all existing implementations ever disclosed in any publication or used in public and how yours is somehow different in ways that are patentable.
Hello. I have more of a concept for a range of toy "figures" where these certain figures already exist, but are a different and original brand. How could I use you your sheet to suit my concept? Yeah I'm a noob to all of this ;)
Hi David. I cannot give personalized advice. But I can give you this info. A 'brand' concept is not an invention. In the UK, this type of thing may fall more under the category of registering a Design, or perhaps under the category of Trademark. But even that might not be appropriate. Trademarks can protect a particular brand name (and other aspects). Really very hard to say without knowing more, but this video does not seem to be relevant to your situation- this video is about protecting an invention (ie something having at least one inventive step).
With regards,
Hi Sir, thanks for your educational tutorial.
If an invention has 5 embodiments described in the sections of the patent specification before the claims section, does it mean these embodiments should be recited in the claims section else these embodiments will be not be protected by the patent?
If recited in the claims section, should each embodiment be written as an Independent claim? 5 indpendent claims? Or each embodiment can also be a dependent claim of only one Independent claim?
Hey did you ever find an answer to your question? Would love to find out as well. Thanks!
You had an older video of instructions of how to turn in your ppa at uspto. Do you still have that video? Thanks

Hello Jethro, was looking for your contacts to connect with you but couldn't find anything like an email or office number, can you please let me know how to reach you?
My views on patenting changed after watching more videos on this channel. Very enlightening.
Is it possible to hire patent agents to just write a provisional application for me? Is it still very costly? Can Shine help me write one? Thanks guru!
Hi Cosmo. I have something very exciting lined up for helping all inventors get patent pending on any invention you want, at any time, in the future. In the meantime, yes, SHIINE® can help you write it yourself- I have a package of three programs you get (called the Patent Pending Package), and one of them (called iPatentPending™) is all about showing you how to draft and file your provisional patent application, as easily and quickly as possible.
Here is some reviews from just a few of the inventors who successfully got patent pending (in one case, within 24 hours) of getting the programs:
''I've just uploaded my provisional application document and drawings to the UKIPO after following the SHIINE video. I only have praise for the Jethro and the SHIINE team for their easy to understand videos that are clear and simple to follow, yet concise in the parameters and formats to complete. From not knowing anything about patents, but had an idea I wanted to pursue, I now have my Patent application number and am ready for the next exciting steps in the development of my idea. Many thanks to all at SHIINE and especially Jethro for all of your help and support.''
Cheers,
Andy Twitchell, UK

‘’Dear Jethro,
I had cobbled up a rough application before I contacted you. After watching your series of videos and corresponding with you, my understanding about the whole patent process has just sky-rocketted!
I am "Patent Pending" now and cant thankyou enough.
May many more SHIINE videos come our way and your goal of making the "common man" better informed about the patent process will come true!
Thankyou again’’
Kirti Moholkar, UK
(Kirti successfully ‘claimed priority’ to the application he filed when it came to his full ‘non-provisional’ patent application)

‘’I just got my provisional application lodged online at the USPTO. I really appreciate your service. Thank you!
You have a top product and I will contribute some ideas to helping you fine tune if you like.’’

If you want to get the programs, you can get them all for as little as only $69 today (the first of 6 monthly payments), or save money by getting them for one amount of $369. Whichever payment plan you go for, there's a no questions asked 30 day money back guarantee, so it's impossible to make any mistake. At the moment, you also get a bonus program, called the Beginners Patent Search PRO.
Here are the links if you want to move ahead:

SHIINE® The Inventor's Journey™ Thanks. Am i right that the provisional application constrains the scope of the claims in some ways such that, a unprofessionally written provisional is as worthless as a full patent written unprofessionally since weaknesses in the drafting allows others to Design Around the patent?
So funny you ask this. I'm just creating a program right now, called iPerfectPending™, which is about exactly what you're talking about- and showing everything about how a provisional patent application works, and the 'rules' for whether it will get you the early filing date for your future granted patent... This type of question cannot be answered in just one soundbite in a way that would give you complete understanding here, which is why iPerfectPending™ has over 20 videos as part of the program!! I cannot give legal advice or comment on your situation personally, but here's how it tends to work: For any given 'claim' in your future GRANTED patent, if your provisional patent application clearly discloses and shows that EXACT invention, as defined in that CLAIM that you have had GRANTED, then you get the EARLY FILING DATE of your PROVISIONAL patent application for that claim, rather than just the filing date of your NON-provisional patent application.
As you can see, for new inventors, this could be really confusing, so I've created a program that deals completely with this (iPerfectPending™), and will turn you into a semi-pro on this, in a very short amount of time. I hope to have this program finished within 8 weeks. It's a very important program for all start-up inventors.
Very important question you're asking, and a very good sign for your learning that you're starting to ask this type of question.

Hi inventor's journey is provisional patent's pretty much the same worldwide so i could draft my own,iam in australia
The following is not advice- Only information is provided:
There's an agreement between almost every patent office in the world (called the 'Paris Agreement'), which means a patent application filed in one territory can be used as a basis for priority for a patent application filed in any other territory, as long as it's filed within 12 months. So no reason not to use this program to file via the USPTO website, and then use that to 'claim priority' back to when filing a full (non-provisional) patent application in any other territory, within 12 months of the USPTO filing.

Toblerusse yes, you can.
How can I follow you? You tube won’t allow me to subscribe your channel. Thank you
Would I need to have my drawings reading before applying as I'm still at the stage of getting a finished design
Ready 😊
You cannot "amend" a provisional application. You could file another provisional application at any time to supplement prior filings.

Hi, I live in Hong Kong and I want to apply for a Provisional Patent in the USA. But I have a question. If I applied for a PPA in the USA do I still need to apply for PPAs in other countries like Australia, Europe, China, etc? And does one Provisional application in the USA enough to buy me time and protect my invention worldwide and give me the "right to claim priority" until I apply for a non-provisional patent within a year? Thanks!
Roland, whilst I can't give personalized legal advice, I can give the information that, due to an agreement called the Paris Convention, when a patent application is filed at any one territory, as long as a second patent application is filed in another territory (or territories) within 12 months of the first patent application, priority can be claimed. I often file a first patent application in the UK, and I can use that to claim priority to when I then file a non-provisional patent application at the USPTO, or any other patent office. More about the Paris Convention (and participating patent offices) here on Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_Convention_for_the_Protection_of_Industrial_Property

SHIINE® The Inventor's Journey™ why would you file the non provisional via USPTO rather than applying in uk ...?
I have questions.
who would I contact after creating my own application?
Hi TZK. The program is detailed, and very few inventors have questions after creating their application. However, there are free resources an inventor can use, such as the Inventor's Assistance Centre at the USPTO. Most just create their application, and file it, using the USPTO Filing Video which comes with the program. If you're unsure, why not try the full 10 Day Free Trial.

You truly are the one
Thank you peas tell me how long do i wait to have my PPA result ?
There's no 'result' with a PPA. A PPA is never 'search and examined' by the patent office, so there's no 'result'. (Only a NON-provisional patent application is searched and examined). You simply become 'patent pending' on all the information/disclosure that is in your PPA, the moment the online filing is completed and generates you a patent application number. So you are patent pending 'instantly'. But you never get any 'result'.

Hi superman. How to file a non-provisional patent application at the USPTO comes as part of either the program iPatentWriter™, or part of the LightSpeed PerfectPatent™ Package, which is step 4 of The Inventor's Journey™ (TheInventorsJourney.com). Filing a Non-Provisional at the USPTO is a bit more complex because more forms need to be filed and more documents too (Abstract, Claims, etc). You can get the whole iPatentWriter™ program (with full tuition/videos on how to draft a non-provisional patent application, including detailed information on patent 'claims') here (Full 30 day money back guarantee, no questions asked, included): patentsuntranslated.com/ipatentwriter-plans.html It shows exactly how to fill out all the forms, including the Micro-Entity Status form that can get you 75% reduction in fees, and the slightly epic AIA0014 form, which can be very very confusing unless you see how to fill it out. The program saves you up to $6000 or more on using a patent attorney.
