I just checked www.ipaustralia.gov.au and it says you can get a provisional patent for $100. That seems really cheap!

I'd like to know if this is a good game plan for an invention I almost have ready to launch (a safety/comfort product for roof workers):

1. file for provisional patent

2. launch new product with 'patent pending' on packaging/website

3. test sales over first year

4. a) if sales make it worthwhile, pursue full patent

b) if it doesn't take off, no point pursuing patent, let it slide
