Provisional Patent Help

"In a perfect world, my advice to you would be that when legal issues are complex or important, hire the best attorney you can find. Haircuts, appendectomies, and patent matters are best left to skilled and practiced professionals.

Ours is not a perfect world, though, and for bootstrappers, emerging entrepreneurs, and other pre-funded venturers, it is sometimes necessary to compromise with self-help. So before you give yourself a bad haircut, I offer this collection of instructions, samples and forms to get you started in the right direction for filing your own provisional patent application."
