Patent Filing Services for Accurate U.S. and Global Protection
Get online patent filing services for provisional, non-provisional, and PCT applications with USPTO filing support for inventors, startups, and businesses across the United States.
One wrong move in your filing can cost you your priority date — or your patent entirely. Our USPTO-registered professionals make sure that doesn’t happen.
We Know the Patent Filing Process Feels Overwhelming
Choosing between a provisional and non-provisional filing. Understanding PCT timelines. Knowing which documents to include. Wondering whether to file now or wait until your invention is fully developed.
These are real, legitimate questions — and getting them wrong can cost you your priority date, weaken your claims, or delay protection at exactly the wrong time.
That is exactly why we built a patent filing support service that makes the process structured, clear, and manageable — whether you are filing for the first time or managing a portfolio of international applications.
Stop navigating this alone.
Why Patent Filing Matters for Your Invention
Patent filing is not just a legal formality. It is the foundation of ownership, commercial protection, and long-term IP value. Strong IP protection starts with filing correctly and on time.
Legal Protection
Filing establishes your documented claim to the invention and creates legal grounds to prevent unauthorized use, manufacture, or sale by others.
Priority Date Security
Your filing date is your priority date — the single most critical date in patent law. Filing first secures your rights even if others later develop similar inventions independently.
Commercial Advantage
A filed patent application strengthens your credibility with investors, partners, and licensees — and supports your IP position during due diligence, acquisition, and commercial negotiations.
Global Filing Pathways
US and international patent filings work together. A well-timed provisional filing followed by a PCT application can establish protection across 150+ countries while giving you 30 months to evaluate international markets.
Patent Filing Options We Support
We support multiple patent filing options based on your invention stage, business goals, and protection strategy. Our USPTO-registered patent filing professionals help you choose the right path and prepare your application with accuracy and care
How Our Patent Filing Process Works
We follow a structured patent filing process to help reduce errors, meet USPTO and PCT requirements, and keep your application on track from first submission to official confirmation.
Most applications are submitted to the USPTO or WIPO within 3–5 business days of receiving your complete invention disclosure.
Review Your Invention Disclosure
We study your invention carefully, confirm the correct application type (provisional, non-provisional, or PCT), and verify your documentation supports a complete and compliant filing.
Verify Drawings, Forms, and ADS
We review your Application Data Sheet (ADS), drawings, and all required USPTO or WIPO forms before submission — identifying and resolving any deficiencies that could delay your filing.
Compliance Check Against USPTO and PCT Rules
Every application is reviewed for compliance with current USPTO requirements (for US filings) or WIPO standards (for PCT filings) before submission — so your application is filing-ready before it leaves our hands.
Electronic Filing with USPTO or WIPO
We file your patent application electronically through the USPTO Patent Center or WIPO ePCT system with precision — confirming receipt and capturing your official filing date.
Filing Receipt, Confirmation, and Next Steps
You receive your filing number, official patent office acknowledgment, and a clear post-filing timeline guide — so you always know what comes next and when key deadlines require attention.

FAQ'S
Can you file patents online and remotely?

What is patent filing?
Patent filing is the process of submitting a patent application to a patent office — such as the USPTO for US protection or WIPO for PCT international protection — to seek legal rights over your invention. Filing establishes your priority date and gives you the legal foundation to prevent others from making, using, or selling your invention without authorization.
What type of patent filing is right for my invention?
The right filing depends on your invention stage, business goals, and timeline. Early-stage inventors often start with a provisional filing to secure priority quickly and affordably. Inventions ready for examination proceed directly to a non-provisional filing. Businesses planning international protection use PCT filings. Our team helps you choose the right path during a free filing consultation.
What is the difference between provisional, non-provisional, and PCT filing?
A provisional patent application secures your filing date and establishes patent pending status for 12 months — it is not examined by the USPTO. A non-provisional patent application is the formal application examined by the USPTO that can lead to a granted patent. A PCT filing allows you to begin the international patent process through a single application covering 150+ countries, with 30 months to enter individual national phases.
How much does patent filing cost?
USPTO official fees for provisional filing start from $80 (micro entity) to $320 (large entity). Non-provisional filing fees start from $430 (micro entity) to $1,720+ (large entity). PCT filing fees vary by jurisdiction and entity size. In addition to official fees, professional patent filing services cover application preparation, compliance review, and submission support. Contact us for a complete quote.
How long does patent filing take?
Filing itself can be completed within 1–3 business days once all documentation is ready. After filing, USPTO examination of non-provisional applications typically takes 18 months to 3 years. PCT applications give you 30 months from your priority date before entering national phase. Provisional applications are not examined — they expire after 12 months unless a non-provisional is filed.
Is Novel Patent Services a law firm?
No. Novel Patent Services LLC is a USPTO-registered patent services firm — not a law firm. We provide professional patent application preparation and filing services. We do not provide legal advice or legal representation. For legal advice or patent litigation, we recommend consulting a licensed patent attorney.
