The Rhode Island patent attorneys on UpCounsel can help you file a provisional patent, which lasts for 1-year and allows you to immediately begin using/manufacturing your invention with the confidence that your idea is protected. These types of patents are great if you think your idea will change a lot over the next year before you file a (non-provisional) patent. These types of patents are easier to obtain and are less expensive but you should have a patent lawyer in Rhode Island review your provisional patent application to insure that you are meeting your objectives when you file your patent.
