Provisional or Non-Provisional Patents

All types of patents fall into either the provisional or non-provisional categories:

• A provisional patent is temporary, lasting a year or more, and issued to give an inventor more time to improve their invention and to work on their patent application.
• Non-provisional patents are issued for the long-term up to 20 years. Getting a non-provisional patent is an arduous task, requiring you to produce data sets, studies and other relevant documents supporting their invention.
• Below are some of the patents available under U.S. Code Title 35:

1. Defensive publication
