Converting a Provisional to a Non-Provisional – $4,500 + $400 (USPTO Fee Not Included)
A provisional patent application remains pending for 12 months from its filing date and cannot be extended. To preserve the benefit of this earlier filing date, you must file a corresponding non-provisional (utility) patent applicationwithin that 12-month period.
If the non-provisional is filed after the 12-month deadline but within 14 months of the provisional filing date, you may still claim the benefit of the provisional—provided you submit a petition under 37 CFR § 1.78. This petition must include a statement that the delay was unintentional and be accompanied by the required USPTO fee.
At Patent360, our team and our USPTO-registered patent practitioner will prepare and file your non-provisional utility application to ensure your early filing date is preserved and your patent rights remain secure.
Preserve your filing date: convert provisional to non-provisional on time.
