Get professionally drafted patent claims that reflect your invention's technical advantages and the protection you're pursuing. Patentext's USPTO-registered patent agents handle preparation and filing, with predictable flat fees.
Patentext Services requires a paid platform subscription.
Preparing a strong non-provisional application requires more than documenting how your invention works. The claims need to reflect what makes your technology different and the protection your company is pursuing.
Patentext combines experienced, USPTO-registered patent agents with a more efficient drafting process. By building on technical information already captured in the platform, we can deliver first drafts in days rather than weeks, at predictable flat fees.
Choose the filing path that fits your starting point. All three options include practitioner-led application preparation and USPTO filing.
No provisional required. Start with guided invention intake and work with your registered patent agent to develop the application.
Bring a provisional prepared by another practitioner. Patentext helps organize the existing disclosure and any additional technical information needed for the non-provisional.
Build on the provisional application and technical record already developed through Patentext, with the relevant context available for claims drafting.
Review of your technical materials, existing provisional (if applicable) and relevant developments.
Preparation of the patent claims, specification, abstract and drawings as required.
Your team's technical review, with revisions within the agreed scope.
Preparation and electronic submission of the application, with filing confirmation and access to the application record.
Patentext keeps your invention's technical context connected throughout drafting and review, while a USPTO-registered patent agent directs the professional work.
Upload an existing provisional or begin Patentext's guided invention disclosure process. Your team provides the technical information needed to develop the application, including any relevant changes since an earlier filing.
Your patent agent prepares the application, drawing on the invention record and agreed filing strategy. Patentext's AI-enabled workflow supports drafting, but the registered practitioner remains responsible for the work.
Your team reviews the application for technical accuracy and completeness. Questions and revisions remain connected to the invention record, making it easier to collaborate with your practitioner.
Once the application is approved, your patent agent submits it to the USPTO. Patentext keeps the filing record accessible as your application moves into examination.

“The team turned around a hundred-page draft on a very complex technology within a few days of me submitting the request — something that would have taken months at a typical law firm.”
A non-provisional patent application is a formal U.S. patent filing examined by the USPTO. It includes claims defining the protection sought and can ultimately result in an issued patent.
Filing an application does not guarantee that a patent will be granted.
A provisional application can establish an early filing date for adequately disclosed subject matter, but it isn't examined and cannot become an issued patent on its own.
A non-provisional application contains formal claims and enters the USPTO examination process. If it properly claims the benefit of a qualifying provisional, some or all of its claims may be entitled to the earlier filing date.
Patentext charges $4,700 to convert a provisional application originally prepared through Patentext Services, or $5,700 for a direct non-provisional filing or conversion of an externally drafted provisional.
An annual platform subscription, starting at $2,700, is required. Government filing fees are additional.
For a new Starter customer, the first-year platform and professional service fees would total 7,400–8,400, depending on the filing path.
No. You can file a non-provisional application directly.
A provisional application may be useful for establishing an earlier filing date while development continues, but it isn't a required first step. The appropriate filing strategy depends on the invention and your business timeline.
Yes. You can upload your existing provisional and supporting technical materials to Patentext. Your registered patent agent will review the prior application and develop the non-provisional filing using the available context.
The professional service fee for converting an externally drafted provisional is $5,700.
USPTO-registered patent agents direct the claims drafting and preparation of applications through Patentext Services.
AI supports the drafting workflow, but the registered practitioner develops the application and remains responsible for the professional work.
Patentext's workflow is designed to reduce drafting time by using technical information already organized in the platform.
Actual timelines depend on invention complexity, claim scope, the completeness of the technical information and practitioner availability. Tell us about filing deadlines early so we can discuss the schedule.
No. Government filing fees are separate from Patentext's professional service fees.
The application preparation service covers the agreed drafting, review and filing work. Once the USPTO begins examination, office action responses and other prosecution work are separately scoped and priced.
The application enters the USPTO examination process. An examiner reviews it for compliance with patent requirements and may issue office actions requiring a response.
Patentext keeps the application record connected to the underlying invention. Patentext Services can also provide professional prosecution support as needed.
