Indeed, thousands of inventors regularly do so, using self-help guides such as Nolo's Patent It Yourself, Patent Pending in 24 Hours or Online Provisional Patent Application process.
Requirements for filing a provisional application: A detailed written description of the invention including drawings. Title of the invention. Name(s) of all inventors. Inventor(s) residence(s) Name and registration number of attorney or agent and docket number (if applicable) Correspondence address.
