The speaker is talking about the format and contents of a provisional utility patent application and uses an example of an invention by Steven Moor called the "Improved Tangle Free Flag."
They describe how the application should be structured including the invention title, field of invention, background, figures, descriptions, and drawings.
They explain that the format of the application should be straightforward and that the USPTO office will not review the application but it will sit on file for a year.
They also mention that in addition to the specification document, three other documents are required: a micro entity certificate, a cover sheet, and a specifications sheet.
They give an advice for the user to include all relevant details about the invention, research and figures as well as to tell a story about the problem and its solution by the invention.
