A provisional application for patent lasts 12 months from its filing date. The USPTO will not grant extensions for any reason. The inventor(s) must file a Non-Provisional Patent Application within that period to take advantage of the Provisional Application for Patent's filing date.
If you do file the nonprovisional patent application within 12 months then the filing date of your nonprovisional patent application will be deemed to be the filing date of your earlier filed provisional patent application, at least with respect to whatever you disclosed in the provisional patent application.herefore, an applicant who files a provisional patent application must file a corresponding non-provisional application for patent (i.e., âregular patent applicationâ) during the 12-month pendency period of the provisional application in order to benefit from the earlier filing of the provisional application.
