I gave them this rating because I got my patent, through the great insight of Marc Haddad who saw why the investigators at the patent office were unpleased with the presentation. Then, after receiving the approval I was lost because even though I knew it would be great devise for the appropriate consumer, I really did not know what to do with it. That is when I talked to Sean who is a business genius that wears many hats for Craig. And I would be remis not to mention Wilmer who has been in my corner since the first call, and always so pleasant to talk to. Never finishes a call without wishing me Blessings!Posted on Google

Craige Thompson is an exceptional patent attorney. He is an expert in building strong patents and patent claims. It is vitally important to build strong protection for your idea. But TPL is also fantastic when it comes to the "freedom to operate" side of your IP. FOA is often overlooked but just as important as your claims. There is a reason Craige's colleagues nicknamed him the "patent whisperer". I highly recommend Thompson Patent Law for all your IP needs.Posted on Google

Daniel, Daniel, Daniel..... It was a pleasure having you and your team (Sumner and the gentleman that works with her) was amazing to work with. Daniel, you received the articulation of my idea very well. Though I felt that I was spotty at explaining it. I left feeling confident in your experience and recommend Thompson Patent LawPosted on Google

Timothy and team did a great job on my recent IP. I've been told we will receive a patent for all our claims. It was the masterful back and forth with the PTO which convinced the examiner of the novelty on my invention. Not sure that would have turned out as well with a different team.Posted on Google

Mr. Craige Thompson of Thompson Patent Law was fantastic to work with. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable in the patent process, but in business models as well. In our experience, other people have just taken our money and pushed us through the system. Not Mr. Thompson, he took the time to TEACH us about the patent process and help us make a determination whether or not proceeding was worth our time and money. We learned more in one meeting with him than in 6 years with our previous council. Mr. Thompson has even written a bestselling book on the process. We know we are in good hands now!Posted on Google

I saw Craig speak recently at a mastermind event and was really impressed. I then got a consult with him on some business strategy for two businesses I am involved in. He gave me some great tactics, and suggestions to improve the value and protection of my IP. I am grateful for the counsel, and cant wait to get the strategies implemented with themPosted on Google

Before Thompson patent Law I wasn't sure where to begin. Timothy an agent of T.P.L broke it down for me. after speaking with Hanna another agent of T.P.L. I felt they were the right company to work with and so sure of themselves they offered to refund me my money if I didn't want to move forward with them. I thought that was great. He showed me I really wasn't ready to pursue a patent. I know any other company would have taken my money first then tell me it wasn't patentable. I feel well inform and I'm ready to get things in order so I can patent my Idea. they gave me a strategy which I could put into practice to obtain my Patent. Thank You Thompson Patent Law.Posted on Google

They have been instrumental in showing me how to plant and nurture my seed, and I look forward to the day when my idea will bear fruit -- I truly feel it is possible through the services they offer.Posted on Google

I had a great experience working with Craige and his team. He responded to my call very quickly and we got on a call and discussed my case in detail. He answered all my questions and really helped me with understanding the process. Very professional, easy to reach. I felt like I can make good, educated decisions after talking to Craige. He’s team followed up with me quickly after our discussion. Great job for him and his team.Posted on Google

A+ Experience! I have personally dealt with in-house and external IP forms throughout my working career, and in the last 25 years, I have never found a firm more experienced, tenacious (yet gracious) in this field. They have a very unique patent formula developed by the lead attorney, Mr. Craige Thompson, as referenced in his book available on Amazon. Going through this very methodical process "flushes out" some of the ideas that can expand a patent and allow breathability to truly produce something that, as a client, I truly feel is a litigation-quality patent. Timothy, who works in his office, has perhaps one of the deepest understandings of not just the patent process but of extremely unique and difficult scientific and engineering concepts as well. If you wanted Einstein to help you solidify and write your patent application, then this is the place to call!Posted on Google

Prior to coming to Thompson Patent Law Office, American Ruck was trying to talk to manufacturers to help us to build our prototypes. We didn’t want to disclose our IP without protections in place. We chose Thompson Patent law because we found that TPL could offer us the most value and guidance throughout the patent journey. I like that Thompson Patent Law offices were very responsive and attentive to our needs. They helped us resolve our issues quickly so that we could have peace of mind when talking to investors or manufacturers. Thompson Patent Law was able to secure for us a provisional patent and get us to a point where we could start marketing and growing our startup. They also provided a helpful tool called the Patent Action Plan and the Budgetary Cashflow Timeline that we could plug into our buisness plan and plan for cash expenditures.Posted on Google

The team at Thompson Patent Law is the BEST. They took the time to understand my "far out" idea when other's didn't. They asked good questions and coached me until we unlocked the novel idea that I had trouble articulating. They held my hand during the entire process, and I couldn't be happier with the end result. I will definitely be coming back for additional patents.

More Real Stories: Why Clients Choose Thompson Patent Law
Craige and his team did a fantastic job with my provisional patent application. He asked all the right questions to help me flesh out my idea, and helped me to expand it into areas I never would’ve considered. I highly recommend reading his book, and working with Thompson Patent Law.

Richard Connell
That critical translation from the technical engineer into the legal minds in the legal language and legal experience. And that handoff is really, really critical and that’s one of the things that I absolutely love about working with you guys.

Scott Lapierre
If you have an idea that is innovative you better get the protections in place, and also you guided me in that… Its so simple the way you’re really orchestrating the process. I didn’t have that much experience but I feel throughout this entire trip that we’ve been on, I’ve gained so much experience from it, that I can help others guide them to you.

Steve Graybill
Receiving the Patent Certificate Award from the USPTO was one of the greatest feelings in the world! Thank you and your team for facilitating such an incredible victory that helps us protect our IP.

Dommonic Nelson
I’ve had a very good experience working with Thompson law Offices over the past couple of years. They are very good at what they do. Currently they’ve obtained a patent for me in a reasonable time frame, and are pursuing yet another one. Not only are they very good, but they are cognizant of the financial aspects of this process, always taking into consideration the cost to their customers. I wouldn’t hesitate to continue to work with them on future projects.

Byron Tietjen
Craige Thompson is a top-notch intellectual property attorney. I would choose him to represent me if I ever needed a patent. I have no hesitation to refer my friends, family, and clients to him for IP work. He’s easy to work with, has a good personality, a good bed-side manner, and he’s extremely good in his skills. Five-Stars!
