As an independent inventor, figuring out how to address national phase application on time seemed like a daunting task.
I researched at least 10 services and felt a good vibe from the PTE website.
I have found them prompt, communicative, knowledgeable
and concerned about my the future of my invention.
On top of that, all at a fair price.
If you are unsure about choosing this type of service,
I want to let you know that PTE worked for me and if need be, I will contact them in the future.
We work with TPFC on prosecution of Indian patent applications, patent searches and further areas. We appreciate the excellent quality and reliability of TPFC. Also urgent matters are handled to our greatest satisfaction.
