Question:

Does thoughts to paper also assist with creating a sales sheet ?

Answer:

We have a business consultant that could do this, after you have your proper patent applications filed. Once you have your patent application filed, or if you already have one, send us an email and ask to get a quote on having us prepare a sales sheet for you. One of our team members will direct you to the right person who can review this and give a quote.

Question:

?extent of services rendered: if the "project" is kicked back by uspo for technical issues to correct or explain, will you continue services?

Answer:

If a patent application is kicked back by USPTO, we call receiving an "office action", we can respond back to try and overcome the USPTO's objection. It will generally involve additional fees. What we need to do depends on what type of office action is received. If the USPTO cites some similar inventions, we need to argue back the differences between your invention and the cited similar inventions. If the USPTO wants some language updated, we can see the best route to take. If the original patent app was not filed by us, you'll need to send us a copy of the USPTO letter along with the original patent application filed for us to study it.

Question:

I'm ready to start the process of getting my idea patented. will a provisional patent protect my idea until i get a non provisional patent

Answer:

A provisional patent can "protect" your idea in the sense that it saves the date with the patent office, until you file the non-provisional patent application. The key is that you must file the non-provisional before the provisional expires for the provisional to continue to "protect" you. Read over this in depth article on how it works: https://www.thoughtstopaper.com/blog/understanding-provisional-patent-applications/ Then, if any further questions, give us a ring. We're happy to chat!
