What Their Customers Are Saying

I would recommend using inventhelp for all your invention ideas.

Jan 27, 2020 Invent Help

I had an invention in the making and I wasn't able to make the payments on the production of it so it went to collections and the agent helped me solve the problem by removing it from collections.

Invent Help Review from Arlington, Texas

Oct 18, 2019 Invent Help

Rahsaan of Arlington, TX After looking at everything and researching, I liked what I read about InventHelp and gave it a shot. It was one of the best decisions I ever made. I followed the instructions and everything else was laid out. I had nothing to do but sit back and say yes or no to stuff. They hadn't left me out on anything every step of the way. They hadn't forgotten anything. Right now, they are sending out to companies and getting ready for the trade show. Things went so well that I said I was gonna do it again on another invention. I have also recommended them. Some people lie all the time about stuff. They promise things or say they're gonna do this or that. But no one lied to me and no one promised anything. There was none of that with InventHelp. It's a shot in the dark if I can get a patent and if I do, it's an even longer shot in the dark to try to get it to the market. I don't know the contacts that they have and so, for them to walk me through everything, it's just a plus. They're doing great.

Unprofessional Services

On January 27, 2020 I confirmed appointment for February 3, 2020 with Regional Director, Alonso R. in Burbank, CA. He then rescheduled to February 4, 2020 and later to February 8, 2020 due to personal reasons. Met to explain and show drawings of idea, signed disclosures and scheduled earnest deposit for February 13, 2020. Resulting from an unexpected work hour change, I advised Alonso 3 hours prior to our meeting of my intent to reschedule. He then sent me nasty text messages stating in relevant part, "this is the third time I needed to change appointment at the last minute and if I didn't have the deposit just let him know". Further suggesting that I done this twice already and concluded that he will call me back at a later time when he have some time. Several calls to invent help has gone unanswered to date (02-22-20).

Resolved: About my invention

I had an invention I started through inventhelp a few years back, and it was never explained to me that I would have to pay $10,000 for you to do anything with it, so I decided I didn't want it and it was put on my credit report. I ask that it is taken off because I don't want to proceed with it.

Invent Help's reply to:

Resolved: Fraud

We are aware of this respondent. He contracted with our company nearly 4 years ago for assistance in
submitting his invention to industry in an attempt to obtain a good faith review. Our records indicate
that we performed the respondent’s services in accordance with his contract until such time that he
stopped paying for the services. In fact, the respondent’ account with the payment company is several
thousand dollars in arrears. Nevertheless, we will reach out to the respondent in an effort to resolve
this matter.

This has been a terrible experience

I contacted InventHelp because I had moved and needed time to find employment. They refused to work with me and told me they would not let me out of my contract. This has put me in a terrible position.

I was told that I need to call a number for customer service which that is the number that you guys gave me but I just called for customer service

We reviewed our records and we were unable to locate an individual by this name nor could we locate the telephone number provided. We attempted to reach this respondent by telephone, but we were unable to leave a message as the “mailbox was full.”

Invent Help Review from Romulus, Michigan

John of Romulus, MI I was putting things off and wasn't even gonna go with an invention and patent company. But when I had seen the commercial of InventHelp, I decided to go in and talk to them. Their rep was very helpful. He explained all the aspects of the process to me well and I was okay with it. He was easy to get in contact with, too. I just call up there and he will call me back in a couple of hours. Yesterday, I got a call from the patent lawyer and they are going to send me the package on it. I've been very pleased with my experience with them and I don't know how to do without them. I would recommend them highly.

Invent Help Review from University Place, Washington

Doug of University Place, WA InventHelp reps needed some money and information during the first meeting to get the process started. They explained all the aspects of the process to me very thoroughly. The rep asked me questions and I answered them. He wrote down the information, then I had to write down a little bit of information, fill out some forms, and provided photographs. They are very easy to get in contact with and they communicate constant updates.
