How to File an International Software Provisional Patent | Australian Walkthrough ????

Doing it professional will cost you $7,000, doing it yourself will cost you $110. In this walkthrough we go through the process of filing a provisional patent, which gives us 12 months to get our patent in order for a PCT application - which starts the process of filing internationally. The great thing about a provisional patent is that it's only $110, and once you're ready you can backdate the actual patent application to the date you filed your provisional patent.

Of course, getting it done professionally is your best chance for success, however that process is costly and takes time, so in the fast world of software, just getting a provisional patent over the line gives you breathing space to test your idea, and you can of course just file another provisional patent if the scope of your idea grows, which beats spending weeks getting it done picture perfect with a lawyer.
