The provisional patent allows the innovation cycle to continue after reserving a priority date to subsequently patent the invention. The Utility Model, on the other hand, is often used for the same purpose, but it is a public document that allows others to be inspired by the innovation, transform it and infringe it more easily. <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\n    \"@context\": \"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\n    \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n    \"mainEntity\": [\n        {\n            \"@type\": \"Question\",\n            \"name\": \"\\u00bfQui\\u00e9n estudia la viabilidad de una patente provisional?\",\n            \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n                \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n                \"text\": \"<p><span style=\\\"font-weight: 400;\\\">Las <\\\/span><b>patentes provisionales<\\\/b><span style=\\\"font-weight: 400;\\\"> no son sometidas a ning\\u00fan <\\\/span><b>estudio t\\u00e9cnico<\\\/b><span style=\\\"font-weight: 400;\\\"> o de antecedentes por parte de la USPTO.
