Basics of Filing a Provisional Application

[@THE_ONLY_GOD]

A step-by-step walkthrough showing an entire provisional utility patent would be appreciated!

[@Da-Sheek]

A preview showing each step of someone actually filling a example provisional would provide even more help.

No kidding, that is what is needed

Only some PDF files can be viewed on USPTO. That micro-entity form and the ADS, for example, keep freezing on "Please Wait", although Adobe Reader is up to date, I've downloaded it again, I've restarted PC, tried Chrome, Edge, Firefox... No good!

[@celeb99mu]

I had the same. Try downloading the files and then open in Adobe instead of your browser.

The reading cadence of the speaker is very distracting, difficult to listen to with all the frequent unnatural pauses. I only made it to 4 minutes, couldn't finish.

This was very helpful to me.

We are glad that you found the video useful. Thank you.

@@USPTOvideo Thank you. Brief and to the point, covering the essentials. Question: The form says it is for use through Nov 2020, indicating it is outdated now. Is there a newer one?

[@USPTOvideo]

@@EPSTomcat11 We are glad you found the video helpful, and thank you for your question. The form presented in the video can still be used.

[@EPSTomcat11]

@@USPTOvideo - Thank you , yes that’s where I got the form from. At the top right of the Provisional Cover sheet, it says: “Approved for use through 11/30/2020. OMB 0651-0032”, which implies there is a newer one. Or am I misunderstanding this?

[@EPSTomcat11]

@@USPTOvideo Also, for the EFS-Web cover sheet version, when I click on the link I get a page which says: Please wait... If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document. You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader for Windows®, Mac, or Linux® by visiting www.adobe.com/go/reader_download. For more assistance with Adobe Reader visit www.adobe.com/go/acrreader. The thing is I have the latest browser, etc., which displays PDF files fine.
