Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about filing a patent with 99Patent. Can't find what you're looking for? Contact us.

Getting Started

Is this legal? Can I really file a patent myself?
Absolutely. The USPTO explicitly allows individual inventors to file their own patent applications, known as "pro se" filing. 99Patent's AI generates structured documents formatted to exact USPTO specifications — the same format a patent attorney would produce.
Who can use 99Patent?
Any individual inventor, startup, small business, or enterprise looking to protect their intellectual property. You do not need any legal or technical background — if you can describe your invention in plain language, our AI does the rest.
How long does it take to generate my patent draft?
Most patent drafts are generated in under 10 minutes once you've completed the input form. Compare that to weeks (or months) with a traditional attorney. You can download and review your draft immediately after generation.

Patent Types

What is the difference between Provisional and Non-Provisional patents?
A Provisional Patent gives your invention "Patent Pending" status for 12 months at a low cost — ideal if you want to lock in your invention date while you refine your idea. It is not examined by the USPTO and does not by itself lead to a granted patent.

A Non-Provisional (Utility) Patent is the full application examined by the USPTO. If approved, it grants patent protection for up to 20 years. You must file a Non-Provisional within 12 months of your Provisional.
What is "Provisional with Claims"?
This is 99Patent's exclusive offering — a Provisional application that includes fully drafted claims, which strengthens your priority protection. No other self-service platform offers this. The claims drafted here can be directly used in your future Non-Provisional filing, saving you significant time and money.
What types of inventions can be patented?
99Patent supports utility patents for a wide range of inventions: mechanical devices, software, processes, chemical compounds, electrical systems, biotech innovations, and more. Generally, any novel and non-obvious invention that has utility can be patented. Abstract ideas, laws of nature, and purely artistic creations are not patentable.

Costs & Filing

How is 99Patent different from hiring a patent attorney?
Patent attorneys typically charge $5,000–$15,000 for a complete utility patent and take weeks to deliver a draft. 99Patent uses advanced AI to produce the same quality USPTO-formatted document in minutes starting at just $99. For inventors who want to move fast and save money, 99Patent is the clear choice.
Are USPTO filing fees included in the $99 price?
No. The $99 fee covers the AI-generated patent draft document. USPTO filing fees are paid separately directly to the US Patent and Trademark Office. Provisional application fees currently start at $160 for small entities and $320 for large entities. Micro-entity status may qualify for 60% reduction.
Can I edit my patent draft after it's generated?
Yes. You can download your draft as a DOCX file and edit it freely in Microsoft Word or Google Docs before filing. We recommend reviewing the draft carefully and making any necessary refinements to best describe your specific invention before submitting to the USPTO.

Security & Privacy

Is my invention idea safe with 99Patent?
Yes, absolutely. All data is encrypted using 256-bit SSL — the same standard used by banks. We do not share, sell, or publish your invention data. Your information is used solely to generate your patent document and is never disclosed to third parties.
Does using 99Patent affect my patent rights?
No. You retain 100% ownership of your invention and the patent application. 99Patent is a drafting tool — we have no claim to your intellectual property whatsoever. You are the sole inventor and owner of record.
