After filing for a provisional patent, you have one year to develop the idea into a working prototype before filing for a non-provisional patent. This is known as the "patent pending" period where you have exclusive rights to your invention and can begin marketing it while still having protection. If you don't file for a non-provisional patent within the one year, then your provisional patent will expire and your invention will no longer be protected.
