            I had a unique idea and I paid for provisional patent search and ***************** reached out to me. I shared all of my notes and ideas. I received a receipt and I haven't heard from anyone within the company since. I dont think its a coincidence that I saw my idea on **********. I truly believe the company sold my unique idea to a supplier on **********.

            My review on working with Thoughts to paper was a real nightmare,trying to take advantage of the small consumers who were trying to look for a honest Firm to get Patents granted but instead they nickle and dime you and take you through nultiple rinse cycles,i was dealing with Jay,with a simple patent for a outdoor game board nade of wood and still couldnt get a patent approved, stating it was in reconsideration that inorder to get them to stay with it,they needed 1500 more dollars to continue after i paid 1500 for provision patent then 4900 for last patent and they still tried stringing me along shame on your shady tatics to bleed these lone consumer on trying to get there patents ..i tried reaching out for a refund but was ignored.

            We are a patent law firm that has obtained to date, over 4,800 patents for our clients in the 16 years our law firm has been around. We know what we are doing. However, the patent application process is a legal process which costs money. Unfortunately, this client thought that he could pay for a patent application and get an immediate, guaranteed, approval. It doesn't work that way. Once you apply for the patent application, the patent office will often come back with questions and objections. We must then respond to those questions and objections from the patent office to even possibly get a patent. We make this clear to all inventors before we start work. When this client received a first letter from the patent office, he did not want to pay for our attorneys to argue with the patent office and gave up without a fight. Unfortunately, this client will not receive a patent. We look forward to assisting other inventors in their pursuit of a patent as we have done so for thousands of inventors over the years.
