I am the founder of a tech startup that currently outsources all technical work, and our developers were able to develop a novel piece of technology to our specifications. We would like to file for some protection before we go to market in the Fall.
However, my knowledge wrt to coding is unsatisfactory and certainly not enough to file a patent application using technical terms.
Can I still file a provisional patent application using a mix of technical and non-technical terms to demonstrate first to file/first to invent? Will there be any protection afforded to me whatsoever?
I understand very well that it is in our best interest to leave this to professionals, but unfortunately we cannot afford a patent lawyer at this point in time. It is our intention to hire one to (re)file properly in under a year as we scale our budget, but obv we do still want to have the paperwork demonstrating our first use in the market place.
Does filing a patent in this manner bar me from any rights in the future?
