PROVISIONAL PATENT APPLICATION
USPTO Filing

A provisional patent establishes your filing date — locking in your priority over anyone else working on similar technology. You have 12 months to convert it to a full application.

✓Pre-populated from your Patent PreCheck review and Inventor's Notebook
✓Human conception evidence already documented and formatted
✓You review and approve every word before it's filed
✓Filed directly with the USPTO — $320 government fee
Not legal advice: Provisional patent preparation and filing involves legal decisions specific to your situation. We help you prepare the application — we strongly recommend having an IP attorney review it before filing.
COPYRIGHT REGISTRATION
Copyright Office Filing

Copyright protects your source code as a creative work — separate from and complementary to patent protection. Registration is fast, inexpensive, and significantly strengthens your legal position.

✓Automated filing with the U.S. Copyright Office
✓Your SHA-256 verified file hash provides proof of authorship date
✓Creates a public record of your authorship and creation date
✓$35 government fee — most registrations complete in 3–6 months
On AI-assisted code: The Copyright Office requires human authorship. Our review and your Inventor's Notebook document your human creative contributions — this is what makes your registration defensible.

The full picture: patent + copyright

These two protections work differently and reinforce each other. Most software developers should consider both.

Patent protects
✓The idea, method, or process
✓Novel algorithms and systems
✓Even if someone reimplements it differently
✓20-year protection
Copyright protects
✓The specific code you wrote
✓Your documentation and architecture
✓Literal copying or reproduction
✓Life + 70 years
