    Don't waste your time and money with this useless company! Complete waste of time and money!…read moreCondescending, gaslighting coward Kish is a smooth talker but proved multiple times to be a liar that will call you childish if you don't give him the praise and affirmation he requires, and Rebecca tries to make jokes and be likeable but if you see past her dumb humor, you see it's just to distract from the incompetence and uselessness. Their contract that will cost almost $13k requires they provide 100 companies to you that your product packet will be sent to, but the list they provide comes from some unaudited outdated database of inaccurate information they blame Dun & Bradstreet for. Dun & Bradstreet claims to update their listings constantly, but almost half of the listings LPS provided me were complete garbage. At least 58 listings were companies that had nothing to do with my invention, or the company name given was not correct or the address was wrong or the company was a duplicate of another company also provided with the same contact information. I only figured this out by searching every single listing on the Internet to see if the information given was correct. Virtually half was completely false or useless or irrelevant information. Most companies I contacted won't even consider unsolicited new product inquiries. For my product which relates to a toilet, some of the companies they provided for me to contact were a home security company, a jewelry company, a concrete company, one for outdoor water systems, the website for one of the companies they provided directed me to an illicit pill website, and one company listed was a single family home that had no company related to it. I wasted time and money mailing packets to dozens of these "companies" believing that Lonestar Patent Services had provided accurate and relevant company listings for my specific product. They say to wait 2-3 months to hear back after mailing the packet but after 2 months they say it's actually 3-4 months. When the fourth month comes they say sometimes it takes up to six months. Just keep waiting is what they'll tell you. They also give you a website where you can go yourself and try to find companies to contact. Nearly $13k will get you a bunch of useless product packets, a bunch of garbage company listings and a website to search for companies yourself. Additionally, Kish and Rebecca refuse to assist with finding or securing licensing agreements with companies that aren't located in the United States, claiming foreign companies are unreliable and dealings with other countries' companies are "too risky." Even though the U.S. patent process permits for filing international protections, Kish and Rebecca claim no other country or foreign company can be trusted and the $13k+ you'll end up spending for LPS to help you get an agreement will be wasted hoping a U.S. company is interested. If not, you're out of luck and LPS thanks you for the money. Their contract provides for a refund ONLY if you secure a licensing agreement that requires the patent be approved, and if the patent then gets denied and you had a licensing agreement with a company already, they'll refund you. But they provide such useless company listings that your chances of getting a licensing deal are virtually zero, and the way LPS actually puts that clause into practice is they do everything to prevent you from getting a deal. Now I'm left hoping they didn't lie to me about the odds of the patent succeeding, cause if it fails and I don't secure a licensing agreement by then, I'm out more than $16,000, based on Kish's lies and dereliction. I'm also left considering legal remedies for Breach of Contract and gross incompetence, given how they stonewall and hinder your chances of success by refusing to provide valid companies in the amount they promise, and falsely claiming their contractual obligations to be fulfilled fully in year one, with no more willingness after that. They will also use your happiness with their services in year one against you when in year two, you learn their services had been a complete sham. A deal with Lonestar Patent Services is not safe! Stay away and save your time and money! BBB complaint filed too.

    I should've headed the google reviews. No one said their work with LPS led to anything successful…read more I had to hire another attorney to clean up their LPS attorneys work! Their attorney even had my name spelled incorrectly and on the presentation documents another persons name. How did I miss that. Trusting these businesses and paying them your hard earned money... seems unreal how they can easily bamboozle you.
