The DIY Application Process

• When filing patents, the best idea is always to
  hire patent attorneys in Nigeria, although you
• can do the filing yourself. You can file your PPA
  (provisional patent application) and your
• regular patent
• application. The PPA, of the two applications,
  can be easily filed. The PPA, while informal in
• nature, should still describe properly how to
  create and utilize the invention.

Drafting the PPA

• The PPA is usually fewer than 10 pages, and its
  written in an informal manner. Technical or
• academic journal articles are usually enough as
  long as the document describes how to create
• and use the product. The PPAs accompanying
  drawings may also be informal.
• While costly, using the services of a patent
  attorney in Nigeria can provide protection and
• security. The cost also is outweighed by the
  advice and counsel given by an expert.
