Most states further require that the invention can be realized on the basis of the teachings of the priority document. <b><\/b><\/p>\n<h6><b>Advantage of Provisional Applications<\/b><\/h6>\n<p>Provisional applications answer the needs of inventors who do not have the time or the means for immediately filing a definitive application. This can be the case for example of an individual inventor or a small company wishing to sell their innovation rather than working it themselves. It is possible in such a case to file a provisional application to establish a priority right before any market research. Provisional applications are also of interest if all the invention&#8217;s commercial prospects are still uncertain or if the invention is likely to evolve from a technical point of view and it is still too early to describe the invention in a definitive manner.<\/p>\n<h6>The filing of a provisional application in the US also makes it possible to obtain at a low cost a very early filing date in the USA.<\/h6>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tab][vc_tab title=&#8221;Provisional patent applications in Switzerland\/Europe&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1453669696668-1-8&#8243;][vc_column_text] <b>Applications without Fees in Switzerland or in Europe<\/b><\/p>\n<h6>If the possibility of claiming a very early conception date of the invention in the US is not essential, it is generally easier, safer and more economical for obtaining a priority right to file a patent application in Switzerland or in Europe without paying any fees. The application will then be rejected but only after having received a filing date and number that can be claimed as priority for subsequent applications.<\/h6>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tab][\/vc_tabs][\/vc_column][vc_column animation=&#8221;fade-in-from-bottom&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;]<div class=\"spacer\" style=\"height: 40px;\"><\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>CONTACT<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"member wpb_content_element test\"><div class=\"member-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.patentattorneys.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/schreyer_2003319_contact.jpg\" alt=\"Contact\" \/><\/div><h4>Contact P&amp;TS<\/h4><div class=\"member-role\"><\/div><div class=\"member-content\"><p><a href=\"&#x6d;&#x61;&#x69;&#x6c;&#x74;&#x6f;&#x3a;&#x69;&#x6e;&#x66;&#x6f;&#64;&#112;&#97;&#116;entattorn&#x65;&#x79;&#x73;&#x2e;&#x63;&#x68;\"><i class=\"fa fa-envelope-o minti-icon\" style=\"color:#888888 !important; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px\"><\/i> e-mail<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"newdivider align-center\" style=\"border-bottom-style: solid; border-color: #b7b7b7; border-bottom-width: 1px; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 20px; width: 100%; \"><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_section&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row bg_image=&#8221;15893&#8243;][vc_column animation=&#8221;fade-in-from-left&#8221; width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text] Provisional patent application; patent application without fees [\/vc_column_text][vc_tabs][vc_tab title=&#8221;Provisional Patent Applications in the USA&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;c9c08126-3851-8&#8243;][vc_column_text] Provisional Patent Application in the USA It is possible to file in the USA provisional patent applications whose sole purpose is to generate a priority right.
