Patent Questions and Advice / Re: updating PPAs (provisional patent applications)
« Last post by Brad on May 30, 2023, 08:49:08 AM »You cannot add new material to any patent application after it has been filed so you cannot update it. You should file a new application. We sometimes have 2-5 PPAs that we later merge together into a full non-provisional utility application.
If you did not pay the fee you will get a letter from the patent office telling you how to make payment. However, in this case it would be safest and easiest for you to file your application again as a new PPA and make sure you pay the fee online this new version.
