Sometimes inventors say “ I have a provisional or temporary patent”, what is a provisional or temporary patent, whether a provisional or provisional patent is patentable, does it grant a monopoly on the invention, what is meant by the word box patent registration, it is desirable for an entrepreneur to understand the meaning of this word box.
First, the difference between a patent and a registered patent, a registered patent is a legal right conferring a monopoly on the exploitation of the invention for twenty years from the date of filing of the patent application, therefore a patent registration.
Patent registration is a patent registration process, which means that the invention has not yet received a registered patent, has not yet finished or the examination process has not started. Therefore, when a person says that he has a patent registration he may have just filed the invention with the patent authority and he still has no monopoly on it.
What is a provisional or provisional patent registration?
First, there is no provisional or provisional patent, a patent is an application that is considered by an examiner in the patent office in Israel or in another country, for example, the US Patent Office, a provisional or temporary application are in fact the same type of application.
A provisional or temporary patent does not exist, but there is a provisional or temporary application in the wrong name, the correct name is PROVISIONAL (provisional), it is a provisional application that cannot be filed in Israel, there is no provisional application in Israel.
The application can be filed, for example, in the US Patent Office. The application relies on the Paris Convention, which grants the applicant a first date (foreseen) for more than a year in more than 160 countries.
That is, if an applicant submits a provisional application, he can file his patent application in more than 160 countries, provided he submits the application to the specific target countries before 12 months from the date of application.
Preferred right in provisional or provisional patent registration (hereinafter: “provisional application”)
If another person submits an application in that state within the 12-month period or applies the actual invention, the inventor who applied before the 12-month period will still win the provisional date of the provisional application over the same competitor.
The Provisional Application Request Attach Provisional Application Proof Documents That Prove The Content Of The Application At The Date Of Submission To Make Sure That Is The Same Invention.
In other words, the competing practice will file the application in a specific state before the inventor, but since our inventor filed a provisional and it has not yet been 12 months, our inventor will win the same state or destination in the treaty where he submits the patent application and attach the preferred documents.

Advantage and disadvantage of provisional or temporary patent registration
Disadvantage of provisional or temporary patent registration: The disadvantage of a provisional application that the patent attorney does not invest much time compared to a permanent patent application (PATENT), which means that the scope of protection may be reduced, the provisional application usually drafted it shorter and more concise.
Therefore, another competitor who submits a patent application with many details even after the provisional application may add many non-provisional details and seize certain parts of the invention, which may make it difficult for the inventor to obtain the patent or actually apply it without entering the competitor’s scope.
Another disadvantage is that sometimes companies and investors do not want to purchase an invention that is in the process of a provisional application, but rather want to purchase a patent that is registered or at least published (a permanent patent application is published after 18 months from the filing of the patent application on, for example, the patent office in Israel or the US Patent Office).
The advantage of a provisional or temporary patent registration: The advantage of a temporary application that is quick to submit, since it is not invested for a long time, when the wording is ready to receive a request number on the day of submission, and the next day you can talk about the invention if people do not risk the inventor’s date.
Another benefit is a low fee, only $ 140, and the wording cost of the provisional application is relatively high, so early inventors submit a provisional application so they can start talking to investors and prospective companies (see: marketing and disseminating an idea) about the invention and try and recruit an investor (see: Planning) Business) to fund the cost of building a model, registering fixed patents and additional expenses.
Integration of technical team and patent attorneys for patent registration
We incorporate our work in patent development and modeling consultant patent attorneys, as the technical team completes the first phase of a principled concept design of the invention, submitting the details to a consultant patent attorney who formulates the provisional or permanent application.
The benefit that the patent attorney receives in principle drawings is the future way in many cases for application of the product, in case a provisional application is filed, real material is inserted into the application from the beginning of the actual development, so that if another applicant files a patent application, it prevents him from grasping the bulk of the invention.
The above information is incomplete and incomplete; a patent attorney should be consulted on a case-by-case basis individually and with a patent development team to see if it is an invention that has research and experimentation or development.
