The typical method of filing a patent application is using the USPTO's Patent Center Website. Navigate to the Patent Center portal and create a USPTO account.Prior to writing claim answer these questions: • What is the invention? • What are the pieces and parts that make up the invention? This page provides information on the types of patents and types of patent applications, and the examination process.

This course is ideal for those patent practitioners with less than three years of experience prosecuting patent applications. A patent search on the USPTO database, conducted before filing a provisional application for patent, may reveal identical or similar inventions.
