Some inventors and businesses need to move quickly and to establish a “priority date”. They choose to initiate their patenting process with a Provisional Patent Application (PPA). A PPA has the advantages of a lower initial cost and faster filing to quickly obtain a priority date. When a PPA is filed, a 12-month period starts, during which you must file a non-provisional patent application to proceed to obtain a patent.
We can help you!
A PPA is an effective, first step to transform your invention into a patent.
By law, any patent application—including a PPA—must have “enablement”, meaning sufficient information to allow someone “skilled in the art” to recreate your invention. We give your PPA personal, professional attention to succeed and make sure it has enablement.
We offer you:
- Provisional patent application drafting & filing with personal and professional attention–quickly and at low cost
- Live interaction with you and direct representation with the US Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO)
- Optional follow up with non-provisional patent application drafting and design patent application filing

1st-Tech wrote and filed our provisional patent application and then worked intensively with us to write and file an accelerated non-provisional patent application. Our founder and mentor—who has decades of experience with patents and with other attorneys—had never seen the skill and speed in obtaining our patent, within 7 months—from start to finish! Our patent has helped leverage our business for our unique firearm technology.
Based on my personal experience, Mr. Haim Factor gave us professional and quick service. His added value was not only in writing and prosecuting our patent applications, but in his understanding of the real need of the customer's business, in real time, based on his previous professional background. His experience was critical, especially related to the advanced and complex aspects of dealing with our patents
We needed to quickly obtain patent protection in the US, China, and in Europe for our software/hardware invention. 1st-tech-ideas worked rapidly in the US and in close cooperation with their Chinese and European associates—and succeeded to obtain patents for us in all 3 jurisdictions! Thanks for a job well-done.
