We are a small startup that has currently filed 2 patents using, what we hope, is the appropriate format for submission. Will there be a response from the USPTO office for rejection/rejection? or does that only happen when you file as a nonprovisional document? That might sound silly but I want to make sure I understand the situation.
I assigned the first patent using the EPAS electronic system. I copied and pasted a legal document template that was used for assignment and took it to a notary and filed it. What is the response from them going to be like? How do I know if it was successfully submitted or not?
Thank you for your time
Basicaly the USPTO won’t send you anything and is not likely to open any provisional submited documents.
It is hard to understand from the question what did you submit and how, but it does’nt seem you filed a patent application.
We strongly recomend filing a full specification and claims application drafted by a professional even when a provisional application is filed, and suggest you use our services for that matter.
