A provisional patent specification is basically a preliminary application which is filed before filing a usual patent. It explains the invention in a broad manner. It is the document which may be filed before a Complete Specification in the Office of the Controller of Patents pertaining to a prospective patent.
It is called “provisional” since it is incomplete and a predecessor of a complete specification which comes later. Also, although it is not mandatory, it is highly recommended as it has a lot of benefits for the inventor.

Brief Details about Provisional Patent
1) It is not a rough draft of the Complete Patent Specification. Whereas it defines the scope of the invention and it is the Provisional Patent Specification on which the following Complete Specification and finally the grant of Patent will be based upon.
2) All the elements of the invention which are born during the 12 months between the Provisional Patent Specification and Complete Patent Specification filing will not get the earlier priority date. Any addition/development to the invention after filing PROVISIONAL PATENT SPECIFICATION which is outside the scope which is set by provisional application will not have the advantage of priority date of provisional application.
3) The inventor/applicant should keep in mind that this is not the ‘final’ or ‘conclusive’ step towards securing a patent. It is the initial step in the procedure towards patent registration.
4) It has to be kept in mind that if the time period of twelve months within which the applicant has to file Complete Patent Specification is not adhered to then the patent application will be deemed to be ‘abandoned’.
Inventions that can be patented

An invention can be a product – such as a chemical compound, or a process, for example – or a process for producing a specific chemical compound. Many products in fact contain a number of inventions. For example, a laptop computer can involve hundreds of inventions, working together.
