A non-provisional patent application is the formal US filing that enters full USPTO examination and can mature into a granted patent, requiring complete claims and a full specification. Outside the US, every standard application is effectively “non-provisional” in this sense. Unlike a provisional, it can't be filed loosely and revised later; new subject matter generally can't be added after filing.
