Too little guidance

Provisional patent application help
More guidance than a template. Less friction than starting from a blank page.
Patent Pending Made Simple is built for inventors who can explain how their invention works and want help turning those facts into a structured first draft.
General-purpose AI
One prompt is not a drafting process
Patent drafting benefits from separate passes for scope, support, language, consistency, and the relationship between the invention’s parts.
Traditional engagement
Valuable—when the timing is right
Full attorney-led work can be the right choice for higher-stakes matters. Early-stage inventors may need a serious first draft before that investment makes sense.
Attorney-designed from the start
“Great attorneys are worth every penny—when the timing is right. This is for the moment before that’s true.”

Detailed description
The draft organizes how the invention is assembled, how its parts interact, and how it produces the intended result.
Alternative implementations captured
Optional components, different arrangements, and alternate ways to reach the same result are documented for review.
Supporting language connects the detailed description to the broader invention so you can refine the draft before export.

Questions before you start
Clear answers about drafting, filing, and what comes next.
What do I get with the $599 Self-Serve plan?+
The eight-agent workflow drafts your provisional patent application. You can review and edit the sections, export the document to Word, and use the included video tutorials to file it yourself.
Does filing a provisional application give me patent pending status?+
Patent pending status begins after the application is filed with the USPTO. The Self-Serve plan produces the draft and filing tutorials; you complete the filing. White Glove includes paralegal filing support.
Can a patent attorney review the draft?+
Yes. The $1,399 AI + Attorney Review plan includes review by a licensed patent attorney, strategic feedback, and a quality check before you file.
Does a provisional application become an issued patent?+
No. A provisional application is not examined and does not itself become a patent. To preserve its filing-date benefit, an inventor generally needs to file a corresponding non-provisional application within 12 months.
Are USPTO filing fees included?+
No. Government filing fees are paid separately to the USPTO and vary based on entity status. The pricing page lists the current planning range used by Patent Pending Made Simple.
