Since 8 June 1995, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has offered inventors the option of filing a provisional application for patent, which was designed to provide a lower-cost first patent filing in the United States. If applicants file a corresponding regular application within 12 months after the provisional application filing date, they are entitled to claim the earlier provisional application filing date as the date of filing the regular application.
