Initial filing questions? WE FILE FOR YOU PACKAGE.

Initial filing questions? WE FILE FOR YOU PACKAGE.
« on: November 17, 2014, 12:41:59 PM »
 I have completed a well thought out rudimentary provisional patent application with appropriate drawings (each in generic PDF files) and intend to use your “We File For You” package ($250 + USPTO filing fee ($130 in this instance).

The reason being, for some unknown reason :o, after multiple attempts to file, some minor error or omission on my part keeps it from being accepted.

Questions;

My assumption is you file the “cover sheet (37 CFR 1.53(c)”), specification & drawings” as AGENT? Hence, you will be shown on the application as such?

The “cover sheet” requires certain information. Do you have any “form” the inventor fills out to provide that information to you?

Is there any “certification form” required to assert or claim “Small entity” status?

What “correspondence” address is used, the “Inventors” or yours?

Is an Application Data Sheet (37 CFR 1.76) required? If so, do you complete it? (Appears to have some tricky questions to answer properly)

How many business days does it normally take for you to file?

Once the filing is accepted, you then email forward that information to the “inventor” immediately?

Looking forward to using your services.

Hi,

In response to your questions:

1.  We file the coversheet and we sign as the agent at the bottom.
2.  We need the inventor(s) full name and city/state or city/country
3.  We need you to state in an email the the patent is not owned by a company with more than 500 employees
4.  Our address is used for correspondence
5.  Application data sheet is not required
6.  2-3 business days for us to file
7.  We will email you confirmation the same day it is filed (usually immediately)

Thanks
Brad

Thank you for the amazingly prompt response!

One additional question.

I assume you will sign off on a standard form NDA, or some form of confidentiality agreement?

Also, since you will not be a micro entity send me an email when you want to move forward so that I can send you a custom invoice:

$250 plus $130 USPTO fee
