It allows inventors to establish an early filing date while they further develop their invention or prepare a non-provisional application. The form includes fields for the title of the invention, inventor information, and correspondence address. It also specifies the required application components such as the specification, drawings, and application data sheet. The filing fee varies based on entity status, with options for small and micro entities. Payment can be made via check, credit card, or deposit account. If the invention was developed with U.S. government support, the form includes a section to disclose the relevant contract and agency details. The form also contains a warning advising applicants to avoid including personal information that could lead to identity theft. Fees Due: Filing Fee of $325 ($130 for small entity) ($65 for micro entity). If the specification and drawings exceed 100 sheets of paper, an application size fee is also due, which is $450 ($180 for small entity) ($90 for micro entity) for each additional 50 sheets or fraction thereof. See 35 U.S.C. 41(a)(1)(G) and 37 CFR 1.16(s). www.FormsWorkflow.com
