Exceeded expectations
December 30, 2017

I'm an engineer with a number of patents issued through corporate legal firms. When I was searching for legal services to support the creation of my personal invention I felt a bit comfortable looking for "value". My thinking was I could help augment a less then top-notch service with some of my own experience. With TTP, this turned out to be an unnecessary contingency.
My team of Jay and Kamal were fantastic. No "less than top-notch" here. Jay would respond to inquiries clearly and within a timely manner. The patent engineer Kamal very quickly grasped the intent of what I wanted to do and helped expand upon and reinforce the invention with great insights. They even pushed to meet my request to get my filing in before the holidays.
I'm now "patent pending" and looking forward to the next time I'll use TTP to support my IP needs.

I had a great experience working with them. They did a great job and were professional in their dealings. I would especially want to single out Kamal and Hadison whom I worked with and say they were of great service to me.

Very easy process
November 16, 2017

The filing process was both easy and smooth. Compared to using a patent law firm, the price was more than reasonable. My contact person also took very good care of us. No complaints at all.

I had a great experience with Thoughts to Paper. Hadison and Kevin were very responsive and went into great detail when explaining questions that I had about their findings. They always delivered their work within the time frame that was discussed and they were very professional. They did what they said they would do, and that is hard to find these days! Thank you!

This was our first time working with Thoughts to Paper. Hadison was our contact and we couldn't have been more happy with this work and responsiveness. We had initially tried to submit two different patents but after review they did not recommend we submit one of them. As a result they refunded 100% of the money. We greatly appreciated their integrity. We will be using them again in the future.

I attempted to file a provisional patent on my own and found it too difficult. Thoughts to paper made it super easy and I was very impressed with the write up and drawing I got back from them. Looking forward to filing my patent with them in the next year

I unfortunately overlooked the fact that my provisional patent was due to expire in approximately a little over a week. In a panic I followed up on a heads up email that Tien had sent me back in June to inquire if the options he outlined were still available to keep my provisional patent date of a year ago.
When he indicated that a PCT application would retain my provisional patent date plus add an additional eight months before having to file my non-provisional application, however a PCT application typically takes 6-9 weeks.
He told me they would do everything in their power to complete the PCT in a little over a week. I was cautiously optimistic when I authorized them to prepare the PCT application... well they over performed and got it done on time in a very professional manner. I intend to do much more work with them in the future.

Thank you for for the kind words. One clarification on your comment which is the PCT will extend the provisional patent date an additional 18 months, not just 8 months. So ending date of the provisional + 18 months. Be sure to file non-provisional patent applications in all countries desired, before the PCT expires at 18 months after the end of your provisional application.

It took about 7 days to produce basic elementary drawings. No professionalism went into the drawings. The product description was even worse. Don't waist valuable time with these guys... Run!

Stephen, 7 pages of technical disclosure plus 9 pages of computer aided design drawings were ultimately produced. I apologize if it did not meet your expectations. I would be happy to discuss improvements we can make to bring the deliverables up to your expectations. Please give us a call, I will contact you directly as well.

I've used Thoughts to Paper for a few years and every time I do, it's a pleasure doing business with them. Tien always gives me solid and straight forward advises. I will continue using them because once I deliver the required info, I can move on to other tasks without having to check if the work is being done. I would recommend them to any fellow business owners without hesitation.
