Provisional patent prep checklist

Short answer: Before you pay filing fees or attorney time, confirm novelty, eligibility, enablement, and human inventorship — then export a filing-ready package. This checklist maps each step to Patent PreCheck.

Before you spend money

What “filing-ready” means here

Interactive Code Review exports a structured Word draft, tracked changes, prior-art appendix, and ZIP package — evidence for counsel, not a substitute for legal advice or formal claim drafting.
