Thoughts to Paper have been exceptionally professional in their work and reaching timelines. We connected with them in 2017 when they did a prior art search for our product and eventually filled a provisional patent application in April 2019. We then got together in December of 2019 to pursue our patent application making it non-provisional. In just 2 months their patent experts communicated with us, wrote the preliminary drafts, made excellent diagrams and have submitted our provisional application. It was a great experience.
I have worked with "Thoughts To Paper" (Tien, Oscar, & Team) in the past and I am just as pleased, as the last time I worked with them. Straight forward and worry free business. I want to say, "Thank you all so much--especially, Tien". I will be really to file again soon!
Sincerely,
Jason
Having never done this before, I had no idea what to expect when trying to file for a Patent. When I first reached out to Thoughts to Paper, to find out more about the services they perform, I did not need to reach out to another company. I was convinced after the initial call, I needed to look no further.
Working with them has been one of the best and easiest experience's in my 30 plus years of professional life. The thoroughness and the attention to detail is unsurpassed.
To say the least, they captured the full essence of my invention and put my ideas to paper.
Would I use them again? Absolutely!
Thank you again Thoughts to Paper!
As I type this review I am a week away from sending in my third provisional patent pending. They make it so easy and quick and worry free. Thanks so much Hadison.

We knew nothing about patents, where to start, or how they worked. Thoughts To Paper walked us through from beginning to end. From the drawings, to the phone calls, to emails, Sam Yuan and his team were the best. They were very helpful and explained things so simply. They made us feel very comfortable in the process. We look forward to continuing to do business with Thoughts To Paper!

Very happy with the quality of service provided by the people at Thoughts to Paper. The Invention Consultant I worked with was knowledgeable, professional and went out of his way to make sure all my questions were answered. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
The process of filing a patent is complex and there is a lot at stake. Every milestone is significant for a small biotech or early phase startup. It is critical to have confidence in a team that manages a process such as a filing. Thoughts to Paper was professional, efficient and effective.
Thoughts to Paper did an excellent job on my provisional patent application. Jay was a great communicator and the team did great work transforming my idea into an actual patent. I would recommend them to anyone who wants to file a patent! Looking forward to working with them again in the future.
This was our first patent process and Thoughts to Paper did an outstanding job of explaining how everything worked. We appreciate their understanding of our repeated questions as this was all new to us. Thanks to them we are now Patent Pending.
The complicated process of writing a provisional patent was made simple and easy; I provided the info about my invention, and Thoughts to Paper took it from there. I was also pleased with the language used; it was very professional and thorough.
This was my first provisional application and Kevin was very helpful in walking me through the process. Aidan's drawings were precise and the product description was perfect. Thank you and I am looking forward to working with Kevin on the design application.

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!
