Patent Offices Across the World

Inventors know that inventions are often new solutions to old problems. An invention by Congress -- the provisional patent application -- is a good example. It provides an excellent solution to a nettlesome issue for independent inventors: how to show their brainchild to potential manufacturers without getting ripped off. Filing a provisional patent application allows an inventor to claim “patent pending” status.
