Use the following questions to help determine which patent is best for you.

A provisional application would be best for you if you answer "yes" to the following questions:

• Do I need to file an application urgently?
• In the short term, do I need to spend money elsewhere rather than patenting?
• Do I need more time to finalise the development of my invention?
• Am I likely to make any modifications to my invention in the near future?
• Do I need more time to assess the commercial viability of my invention?

A complete standard application would best suit your needs if you answer "yes" to the following questions:

• Have I finalised development of my invention?
• Am I certain I want a patent?
  
• Do I wish to obtain the maximum term of patent protection available?
• Do I wish to fully protect my invention in the most risk-averse way?

An innovation patent application would best suit your needs if you answer "yes" to the following questions:

• Have I finalised development of my invention?
• Does my invention have a limited commercial life?
  
• Is my invention relatively simple with a limited range of aspects and applications?
• Do I wish to obtain a patent quickly with minimal financial outlay?

• Do I want to obtain patent protection in a large number of foreign countries?
