Timothy and team did a great job on my recent IP. Ive 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.

Craige Thompson is the most talented and efficient IP attorney I have worked with. His boutique firm is unmatched in its ability to tackle complex concepts, find novelty and gain patents is second to none. From complex medical device, to robotics and AI, Craige has landed us our most significant patents.

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!

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 them

Before Thompson patent Law I wasnt 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 didnt want to move forward with them. I thought that was great. He showed me I really wasnt ready to pursue a patent. I know any other company would have taken my money first then tell me it wasnt patentable. I feel well inform and Im 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.

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!

I have had the distinct pleasure of working with Craige Thompson of Thompson Patent Law for over 15 years. The team cares about the engineering community, providing unique insights for engineering programs as he was a program advisor as a practicing engineer and patent attorney. He and his team go above and beyond in due diligence during the patent searches with prior art surveys and intellectual property evaluation and protection. I consider Craige a personal friend and trusted advisor. In all cases, Craige goes far beyond what could be reasonable expected to do what was right and appropriate. I very strongly endorse Craige Thompson and the Thompson Patent Law team.

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.

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 couldnt be happier with the end result. I will definitely be coming back for additional patents.

Thompson Patent Law has been great! They are genuinely interested in what s best for me. They re highly knowledgeable and skilled in their field, but they ve also added real value with technical suggestions to improve the patent and invention. I was also impressed with their thorough freedom to operate search and analysis which helps mitigate any patent infringement issues that may exist. With the complexity and scope of the modern state of patents, I sleep much better knowing /they/ are guiding me through this process. I highly recommend Thompson Patent Law.

I was able to meet with Craige and he really put me at ease and made me feel comfortable asking as many questions as I needed. He was very sincere and didnt rush our consult. He even went as far to share with me information that I wouldnt have known to ask about that was key to my overall success. Ive spoken to other attorneys in the past that made me feel as if I were just another number in line and waiting to take all the money I had. Craige did just the opposite and even saved me tons of money. I would certainly recommend Thompson Patent Law to anyone in search of this particular service. All in all the level of service was excellent.

Extremely knowledgeable about the patent process, patent strategy and how to make it work for you. TPL is easy to work with. Their knowledge saved me a ton of money where previous patent attorneys I have worked capitalized on my lack of knowledge of the patent process. They are also interested in getting your patent through with the fewest office actions possible which saves a ton of money. They are definitely a value-added trusted patent advisor where Others I have worked with are Value-subtracted. I would definitely recommend without any hesitation Craige and his team to ANYONE who has patent needs!!!!!

In my many years as a telecom engineer in the corporate world, Ive worked with quite a few so-so patent attorneys. Craige Thompson and his team are in a different league altogether. Now that Im paying for these patents myself to further the efforts of my own businesses, I am pleased to say it has been money well spent. Craige got the first patent approved with remarkable skill. Now, a second patent for another business has just been launched. Its been a pleasure to work with folks who not only know the patent ropes, but get the engineering and technical aspects. I would highly recommend Thompson Patent Law.

High Quality intellectual property legal counsel packed into a personal experience. We had a provisional patent application written out so well that when our start-up was signed on by a larger silicon valley firm it made the utility application impressively easy to complete.

Thompson Patent Law has been the exclusive firm we have used for all our patent and trademark applications since I founded our company. We still retain them even though we are a Minnesota-based company and Craige and his team relocated to Austin Texas a couple years ago. I would recommend them to anyone in the nation. At the end of the day, good patents gets written and approved by people. Getting a patent approved by an examiner requires a conversation between human beings. Thompson Patent Law excels at the human element of the patent process. They have always come through for us. Having a conversation about a patent with an attorney and engaging a firm can be a very intimidating process. What I most appreciate about Craige Thompson and his team is that they are approachable and friendly. Craige and his team are brilliant at what they do but they never make you feel stupid for not being an expert in the confusing, esoteric world of Patent Law. They handle that aspect and let you focus on running your business and developing new solutions for your clients. One of the things I most appreciate about Thompson Patent Law is their straight forward approach to billing. Weve always clearly understood what our costs would be before undertaking any new step in the patent process. We have already recommended Thompson Patent Law to several friends and colleagues. We sincerely appreciate all the help they have given us so far.

In my time working and collaborating with Craige, I have found that he has nailed the art and science of patent prosecution and defense. His consciously defined best practices and unique insights truly set him apart - and, he communicates these in such a way that his clients can appreciate the value of his advice and strategies. Last but not least, he is one of the most decent people you will ever meet. In my estimation, Craige is unequivocally the smart choice when it comes to protecting products and inventions with quality patents - those that will stand up in court. Get to know him sooner rather than later.
