ASSISTED PROVISIONAL FILING
Lock in your priority date

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. Our filing flow is rolling out in phases.

✓Pre-populated from your Patent PreCheck review, updated code output, and Inventor's Notebook
✓Human conception evidence already documented and formatted
✓You review and approve every step before any submission
✓Filed directly with the USPTO — from $65 government fee (micro entity; $130 small / $325 large)
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
✓$45 government fee (single work, single author online) — 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

Before you self-file: applicants have a duty to disclose information material to patentability that they know of (37 CFR 1.56). Use the draft IDS (working list of surfaced references) from your report — it is not a filed Information Disclosure Statement. Prior-art density is not freedom-to-operate. After filing, do not add new matter. This is not legal advice. A Patent PreCheck report is not attorney-client privileged just because you later email counsel or use “send to attorney.” Talk to counsel without treating this packet as privileged.
