Question
We have a working MVP with some early paying customers. Our tech is still being developed further with a full launch expected within two months. So far we considered expanding our distribution/sales channels as the more important objective, and it seems like the work on the patent application and the filing costs would set us way back in other areas. Strategically speaking, should we file for a patent and when? Thanks!

Just to add that since your tech is still being developed, one strategy is to file multiple provisional applications (once the first one is drafted, subsequent applications should be more affordable) to keep up with important improvements to the invention.
Upon filing of the non provisional application you may be able to claim priority to one or multiple provisional applications filed. Which priority or priorities to claim will depend on your particular situation.
