: : : To see if your idea is already patented in the US just go to www.uspto.gov and learn to use the search system. : : ok, it seems to be not patented. : : : But your provisional patent is of no use in establishing an early invention date if it is just documenting a 'concept'. The provisional patent must disclose all the key information that is eventually used in your full patent or you lose the early invention date. : : ok, thanks.
