There are reports of athletes who can ingest more than these levels; ultimately, calorie consumption varies from individual to individual and you need to determine what works best for you. But, it is very important to develop your nutrition plan during training. Race day is a bad time to develop a nutrition plan.
A provisional application for patent (provisional application) is a U.S. national application filed in the USPTO under 35 U.S.C. Â§111(b) . A provisional application is not required to have a formal patent claim or an oath or declaration.Provisional applications also should not include any information disclosure (prior art) statement since provisional applications are not examined. The benefits of the provisional application cannot be claimed if the 12 month deadline for filing a nonprovisional application has expired (unless the benefit of the provisional application has been restored under 37 CFR 1.78).
The filing fee is $130 for a small entity and drawings typically cost $100 to $125 per page, so a high quality provisional patent application for a mechanical or electrical device can typically be prepared and filed for $2,500 to $3,000. Filing fee to the USPTO for provisional patent application = $130 (small entity). 2  Nonprovisional patent application based off provisional filing = $10,000 to $12,000. 3  Filing fee to the USPTO for nonprovisional patent application = $800 to $1,250 (small entity).
