If you have little money, and need to either buy time to raise funds or for market testing your invention before investing in a Utility patent, then the below lowest-cost Provisional Patent Application services will enable you to at least have a Guaranteed legally valid "Patent Pending" filing on the core idea of your product and/or service idea until you are ready to file the full patent application within the one year allowed.  If your budget is not extremely tight, and better patent strength and scope is still important to you, then at least the "Drafting Basic" level is highly recommended.
