Patent Pending Guide

Yes, you can do your own patent application.

If you have even basic writing skills (or know someone who does), you can prepare and file your own provisional patent application and even nonprovisional (utility) patent application. The U.S. Patent Office has even recently implemented new assistance programs for inventors preparing their own patent applications and created a special examination unit to assist inventors with the patent examination process. These include a Pro Se Assistance Program that offers various services for the public, including:
Dedicated personnel for assisting pro se applicants
In-person assistance for the general public at USPTO Headquarters
Targeted support to connect applicants with relevant resources and information

Beyond the limited assistance offered by the U.S. Patent Office, the Guides provided at www.patent-pending-guide.com provides even more detailed instructions and examples of the parts of provisional and nonprovisional patent applications to assist the inventor with preparing and filing their own patent applications. Additionally, unlimited expert assistance is available at a very low cost with money back guarantee that the inventor will find it helpful and worth the cost.

Even the U.S. Patent Office has recognized that the fees charged by patent attorneys have put the cost of a patent application prepared by a patent attorney out of the reach of most solo inventors and small businesses. As stated on the U.S. Patent Office website
“the USPTO also recognizes that the cost of such assistance is prohibitive for many applicants, particularly independent inventors and small business concerns. In light of that, the USPTO has launched the Pro Se Assistance Program to help inventors meet their goals of protecting their valuable intellectual property.”

We believe that the use of our Guides, along with the Pro Se Assistance Program at the U.S. Patent Office, and, if needed, our low cost expert assistance will enable most inventors and small businesses to prepare a proper patent application that will provide protection for their inventions.

What are the benefits of filing an application for a patent?
There are numerous benefits for an inventor to file a patent application. First, filing a patent application protects you from losing your rights to develop, market and sale products relating to your invention. Second, filing for a patent prevents someone else from filing for a patent on your invention. Third, filing for a patent provides you with "patent pending" status on your invention, which is important in seeking venture capital, or trying to license your invention.
You can lose your rights to your invention if you are not the first inventor to file for a patent on that invention. Meaning, even if you are the first to invent a product or process, if someone else invents something similar to your invention and they file for a patent before you, you lose the rights to your invention.
