Foreigners are free to file their provisional patent applications in South Africa – the cheapest country in which to file provisionals!

(See our patent filing toolkit ) 

Anyone (irrespective of nationality / residence) may file South African provisional applications. However, certain countries require the first application developed in that country to be filed first in that country – See the US and the UK. So, we suggest that you clarify this / obtain the necessary approval before filing a provisional patent application through S&Z.

Our comparatively low official fees (approx. US$10) make South Africa one of the cheapest countries in which to file your provisional patent application. Once filed, priority may be claimed from your South African provisional application anywhere in the world.

Filing your provisional patent application in South Africa will not expose you to any unexpected South African regulatory or tax consequences.
