File a provisional specification to establish your priority date immediately — giving you 12 months to complete development and file the complete specification while retaining your original date.
A provisional patent application establishes a priority filing date with a brief description of the invention — before the complete specification is ready. You then have 12 months to file the complete specification with full claims. If you miss the 12-month deadline, the provisional application lapses and the priority date is lost.
Your priority date is established from the provisional filing date — protecting you from others filing similar inventions.
