Sample provisional patent applications were designed to provide a lower-cost first patent filing in the United States and to give U.S. applicants parity with foreign applicants under the GATT Uruguay Round Agreements. Sample provisional patent applications allow filing without a formal patent claim, oath or declaration, or any information disclosure or prior art statement. It provides the means to establish an early effective filing date in a non-provisional patent application filed. It also allows the term “Patent Pending” to be applied.
