Question

Where can I get a low search cost for a Provisional Patent?

Answer 1

1) You don't need to do a search to file a provisional patent application, or any other patent application.  The only reason to do a search is if you want to see if its worth spending the money for preparing and filing the application.

2) There is no such thing as a provisional patent.  There are only provisional applications, which preserve a filing date for a year,which can be of benefit if you eventually file a utility application.

3) You can do the search yourself at Google/patents.  From the main Google page, click on more, then even more, then patents.
