Thoughts-to-Paper did everything they said. They performed a patent search first, then I decided I wanted them to help me with getting Patent Pending status for my invention by having them do 3-D drawings depicting all sides as well as the write-up for the inventions description. I am satisfied with their work, would use them again as well as recommend them to anyone wanting to protect their ideas or invention.
Tien was amazing. He communicated in a very timely manner. He explained everything really well, and he delivered promptly. I enthusiastically recommend Thoughts To Paper to anyone who is considering a patent application.
My service with Thoughts to Paper was wonderful. I had a great team of guys who walked me thru the whole process step by step. They were very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions that I had on the Provisional Utility Patent that I was applying for, so I could understand. They made me feel very comfortable about what I was doing and will be moving forward in the next 12 months with the Non-provisional Patent application. Thank You!
This was an amazing experience. For an online based company, I felt like I was working with a brick and mortar; that is how closely Thoughts to Paper work with you to get your application right. Do not hesitate to utilize this service for your patent needs. You will be pleasantly surprised!
Finding someone to look after your IP needs when you are not physically located in the country was a little daunting. After careful consideration I decided to go with Thoughts to Paper and I have to say the service was excellent every step of the way. I highly recommend.
Every person I have dealt with at Thoughts to Paper, treated me with kindness and professional respect. They were timely on every step of the process trough three patents. Thoughts To Paper also saved me so much on the cost compared to every other company I contacted.
I would highly recommend this company to anyone. However, when I couldn't open and share their files, I simply had to update my Adobe reader to open the files and the amazing cad design drawings they did for me that were included in my amazingly low cost.
Totally satisfied customer

I am an inventor and I was looking for a inexpensive yet reputable company to assist me in obtaining a provisional Patent.

My consultant was Tienl Lee, who has assisted me. A numerous amount of times with getting my invention protected.
They also offer a variety of other services, pertaining to protection.
This is my second time working with Thoughts to Paper, they filed both my provisional utility patent and non-provisional patent, and made it a very smooth and easy process for me to follow, will definitely consider working with them in the future for any new inventions
When I checked their on their website, I found that they obtained 3000+ patents, so I though I should give this company a try.
It took me a dozen times to email back and forth to get my patent application filled, but finally, everything is done.
Mr Jaeyong Chon is very very helpful, he even worked on Thanksgiving holiday to help me. I always have fast answers for any questions. They are very cute LOL Thank you very much!
I was just blown away by Thoughts to Paper's ability to take a concept, develop it, and execute it with such clarity, skill, and professionalism. I felt like I was Bill Gates or somebody famous. Every member of their team gave me unprecedented attention, time and they totally got it! They listened to every word and concept I was trying to convey, laid everything out, and got me through the application process in an unbelievably short amount of time. Thank you Tony, Tien, and JaeYoung. You guys rock!
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.

Thanks for your help
Filing a patent is a complex and complicated process especially for a novice like me. Without the help from the team of "Thoughts to Paper" I would have been lost. There is also the issue of the technical language and the quality of the drawings. They are well organized guiding me through the process step by step. Communication was excellent. Thanks for their help I was able to submit two filings.
I've used Thoughts to Paper and many other patent companies and I feel safe to say that I'm in safe hands. Things can get out of control when you're busy and Thoughts to Paper has reminded me of deadlines that I would've surely missed had it not been for them reminding me of due dates. They are most reliable and professional.
This is the way all companies should treat their customers. My kudos go out to Tien. The service I have received as a customer and/or future customer was some of the best customer service in a long time. The response time on my inquiries was very quick. Once again THANKS..

Answer: You should apply for a patent application first. This secures your place in line with the US Patent Office so you can tell the company you pitch to that your product is "patent pending". This way, if that company steals your idea and files a patent of their own, they will be second in line after you, since you applied for the patent application first. A provisional patent application only lasts for 12 months though, and it must be converted to a non-provisional patent app before the 12 month expires, to keep the protection. However, this route of the provisional patent app, at least gives you 12 months to test the waters before you need to decide to commit to a full more expensive non-provisional app. Give us a call during normal business hours and we'll be happy to answer any further questions or get you started.
Answer: Roberto, yes, you could file a provisional application first and get 12 months to figure more details out. However, keep in mind that the provisional application can only protect what you include in the application, the information you have already figured out. For example, if you only have a basic idea and the details are unknown, you could file the provisional application for just the idea without the details yet. However, those details would not be protected in the application because they are not disclosed in the application. Put more simply, you can only protect what you know and put into the provisional application. What this means is, lets say you file the provisional application then 2 months later you figure out some critical details of your invention. You must be careful about disclosing those details you figured out 2 months after filing the provisional application. Because those details were not included in the provisional application, they are not protected yet. We would add those details when you convert the provisional application into a non-provisional application and only then, would those details be protected. We offer a professional level service for the provisional patent application which allows you to chat with one of our engineers. We can help you figure out a bit more detail than you may have so that you file a provisional application with as much detail as we can figure out at this time. This ensures that your provisional application covers as much as we can. Any additional details you figure out later, well put it into the non-provisional patent application when you decide to file that application, prior to the expiration of your provisional application. Hope that helps! Give us a ring during normal business hours and well be happy to help!

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.
