“Communication”

Gary P.
3/11/24

Phone calls and texts did not work. There was an extreme lack of communication until I typed a review. After that, I received contact within 2 hours. They apologized for their lateness and quickly got my paperwork and marketing packages sent out. Thanks to Howard Chow and Jaeyoung Chon for their efforts.

“No Communication”

Stan K.
10/15/23

Everything started very well and i was pleased. I paid for each service they offered to me even the fast trac system for additional fees that was approved by the us patent office so i wouldn't have to wait 12 months. Patent examiner rejected my utility patent why offer that service if your going to automatically get rejected. That was a waste money. So i paid additional fees to appeal the patent that almost 2 months i havent heard back from Howard or jay. I have sent emails with no response. I tried to look up the patent pending application on the us patent website and it doesn't exist or even give a patent pending status. It has cost me everything i have to trust this firm i live low income and i am disabled since birth so gathering funds was very difficult. I guess we will wait and see. It's hard to trust people from another state.

Gary, I apologize for getting work done slower than anticipated. We've had a lot of inventors coming to us recently with the start of the new year and we never want to sacrifice quality so our production times are slower than usual. Please know that it is because we want to do good work, as opposed to fast work. I would rather get it done right and a bit slower, than to do sloppy work, I hope you can appreciate that.

Note that we always pick up the phone 10AM-7PM Eastern, Monday-Friday. If you are unable to reach someone in particular at a specific moment, please call in 240-523-4321 and press 0 to speak to a live person. We'll make sure we get you taken care of eventually.

I've look at your file and will have someone reach out to you today to make sure everything is on track.

I dealt with Ryan through the entire process from patent search to patent pending. Ryan kept in touch about deadlines and paperwork that needed to be signed.
Trent the patent attorney followed up with me on the scope of the project and made suggestions for my review. I was happy with the revisions and feel confident they have done everything possible to represent my product to get my full patent. I have other projects in the future and will use them again.

Thoughts to paper team have been super helpful throughout the process. From sending timely reminders to making sure we hit the finish line, they always do what it takes. They were extremely patient and helped us file on time. Their promptness and turnaround times don't go unnoticed. They were able to get a thorough documentation in place and had researched us and our invention pretty well. Highly recommended!

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.

Shopped around and truthfully the only reason I selected Thoughts to Paper is because they are cheaper then anyone else I contacted. Thing is they always had time to answer my questions, no matter how long it took and treated me with respect. If my invention makes me Gates rich I would still use them.

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.

Tip for consumers:
THey Did everything at the beginning until the fast trac was filed and have heard nothing since. I hope i am wrong and these guys are legit they seem very nice when i told them about losing my daughter they didn’t get pushy like some

Stan, we're working on the response arguments to the patent office and it's on track to be ready before the due date to respond. Your patent attorney will call you Monday to go over everything and answer all your questions, but rest assured everything is on track and in progress. If you ever need to communicate with us, remember we have a live staff manning our phones Monday-Friday 10AM-7PM Eastern. All you have to do is call and we will pick up the phone and answer your question or make sure the right person gets back to you. Will update you tomorrow!

ThoughtsToPaper re-filed my Patent Pending several years in a row without batting an eye. Last year, they said to be able to re-file you have to make significant changes to your product. If that's true, why did they re-file the first couple of years without mentioning this? They DID charge me to re-file but I never heard a word back about whether it was accepted or denied.

They dropped the ball several times and they also tried to get me to renew several months early "by mistake".

Tony C. – Thoughts to Paper Rep

Daniel, if we were all about the money, we would simply not mention if there was something needed to be done to re-file. If based on our review, re-filing is not appropriate, we would let you know or give you some options. If we did charge you and the application was not filed, rest assured we will simply refund you immediately. We are here live by phone and chat Monday-Friday, you can easily call any time to check on your application. Give us a call and we can look into your specific case and resolve any concerns promptly. If your questions are not answered, please escalate it and we will find the right person to get the answer for you.

Although they are very nice (5 star for that), they are misleading the cost because they do not tell you that the "Consultation With A Patent Practitioner" will be $250/hr on the page where you start, and it is billed right away (1 star for that). You need $Billions, to hire them.

Thumbnail of user tonyc80
Tony C. – Thoughts to Paper Rep

Rhett, I apologize for any misunderstanding. Consultation with a patent practitioner is included in the fee for any service without additional charge. You will not be billed at the hourly rate unless you need additional consultation time after the included consultation. The hourly rate does not start right away as you have mentioned. I see in our records you never proceeded with any service with us. Give us a call and we will be happy to clarify this and hopefully assist you with your needs.

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!

Tony C. – Thoughts to Paper Rep

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 would say the people at Thoughts to Paper are very good. It is a difficult task to interpret ideas of others and get a printout & info into a format that could lead to a patent. So if you are a Rookie, give this group a chance & I'm sure they will help out.
