Invent Help Customer Review from Madison, Tennessee

Jeana of Madison, TN I had a couple of inventions and I went into an InventHelp local office here in Gordonsville, Tennessee and spoke with the representative there. We determined that one of my inventions would probably go over better than the other and he got everything started. He was knowledgeable and explained everything thoroughly. So far, it has been a very good experience with InventHelp. It's very easy to get in touch with them. If I ever have any questions, I always give them a call and they're very detailed. They're very professional and they don't call and bug me. Now, we're waiting for someone to pick us up and get everything started for us. This is a learning process for me, but the overall service has been exceptional.

Invent Help Company Review from Hamilton, Ohio

Dennis of Hamilton, OH I had an idea of something and everybody was telling me to patent and market it but I had no clue how to do that. When I saw George Foreman on TV advertising InventHelp, I got online and checked it and thought of giving them a try. I got into their office in Cincinnati, Ohio and their agent, Heidi, explained the process very thoroughly. At first, being as slow as I am, it was information overload. I read the material and went back for another interview with her and she answered a bunch of my questions. It was a lot better than just reading something online so it worked out well. She was extremely helpful and we had a good relationship. They've already done the patent search to see if anything like what I have is out there and they couldn't find anything so I've applied for a patent. They showed me what my thing would look like on a laptop, which was fine with me. They have a VIBE show and I was told that they had my thing there for industry people to look at and see if there's anybody out there willing to have an interest in making it and marketing it. I went to the show today and I kind of felt sorry for the girls as they weren't able to help me as quickly as they'd like to because they were swamped. I was standing there and looking around and one of them apologized. I told them it's okay as I can see what's going on. So far, I'm very happy with my experience with InventHelp and I'd recommend them to anybody. I've been treated fairly and everything seems to be okay. I've been very nervous and scared to death to pursue this and I still am. I had to take a sizable amount of money out of my pension to pay for it. There are bazillions of product potentials that are out there and I feel like my little tool is floating on a sea of thousands of others. I don't fully understand how somebody would find what I got and pursue it. But Heidi has been very good to me and helped me along to ease some of the stress. I've also done a lot of praying and most of that has helped put me at ease. This is at the point where it's out of my hands. It's either going to fly or not. So, I hope it works out.

Invent Help Company Review from Fort Lauderdale, FL

Cynthia of Fort Lauderdale, FL I submitted a product at InventHelp and it was patented. They were very, very good with helping me - they tried to help me to get manufacturing and license deals. Everything went well with them. This is a good company. If you have a product that you want to get patented, that's where you go.

Invent Help's reply to:

THEY TOOK MY MONEY AND RAN WITH IT!!!!!!!

This respondent contracted with our company over 1 ½ years ago for assistance in submitting his invention to industry in the hope of obtaining a good faith review. His services were being performed and nearly completed in accordance with his contract until such time that he stopped paying for the services.

The respondent’s description of his initial meeting with us is inaccurate and misleading. We make it clear that we do not evaluate or appraise the merit or marketability of inventions in any way and that there are no guarantees of success. He acknowledged this, in writing, before, during and even after contracting with our company. In fact, in a discussion with us he stated he “…knows that there are no guarantees. The sales representative made it very clear that it is up to a company…”

We do not understand his remark with regard to a similar product and we made no such statement to the respondent. In fact, throughout the term of the services, we have no record that the complainant expressed any of the concerns stated in this review. To now at this late date to make these unsubstantiated and false claims against our company is unfair.

We upheld our contractual obligations and the respondent should do the same and pay for the services he received. In fact, he still owes several thousand dollars, most of which is past due.

Invent Help - THEY TOOK MY MONEY AND RAN WITH IT!!!!!!!

WHEN WE FIRST MEET THEY SAID THE IDEA WAS GREAT AND UNIQUE VERY DIFFERENT AND ONE OF A KIND. THEN CAME THE PAID 4,500 UP FRONT; THEY ASSURED ME NO ONE'S INVENTION WAS LIKE THE ONE I GAVE THEM, THEY TOOK MY 4,500 DOLLARS, AFTER MONTHS OF NOTHING, THEN THEY SAID IT WAS TAKING LONGER CAUSE THEY HAD SIMILAR ONE TO MINE.

WHEN THEY WERE TAKING MY MONEY THEIR WERE NONE ALIKE TO MINE! THEN I WAS MAKING PAYMENTS EVERY MONTH, UNTIL I STOPPED I HAD PAID ANOTHER 3,000 OR 4,000. AND STILL NOTHING!

THEY SHOULD BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR TAKING PEOPLE'S MONEY AND HAVING NO RESULTS... SOMEONE SHOULD PUT THEN IN JAIL!!!!

Invent Help's reply to:

Invent Help - Invention Service Review

This respondent initially contracted with InventHelp for the preparation of a Basic Information Package (BIP). The BIP assembles basic information about an invention using standardized marketing information as well as information which the inventor provided to us. We also refer our clients to a patent attorney for the preparation of a Preliminary Patentability Search & Opinion.

The respondent then proceeded to contract with our company for assistance in submitting his invention to industry in an attempt to obtain a good faith review. InventHelp also referred his invention to a patent attorney in an effort to obtain a patent. Our records indicate that his InventHelp services were completed in their entirety and in accordance with his contract. The respondent, on the other hand, did not uphold his end, stopped paying for the services, and still owes nearly $7000.

The respondent’s claim that our contracts promise a refund if an identical patent is found is untrue.

The respondent is upset that his patent was denied. While this is unfortunate, the respondent acknowledged in writing, not only during, but also after contracting with our company that there is never a guarantee that the US Patent & Trademark Office will issue a patent and that a patent can be denied at anytime. We reached out to the respondent in a good faith attempt to resolve this matter and offered a fair resolution to his concerns.

So recently inventhelp admitted that my Patent was no good because there was already a pre existing patent filed. However, they could not refund me my full 7,048 dollars they gotten from me on the false pretense of investing into a good patent.

But they will, however, give me the 1,400 I paid for the patent and the 400 dollars filing fee, which by their standards, is a pretty good deal in which I should jump on. So this is their analogy.... If they steal a man's house from him and they offer to give him his cloths out of his closet, then he should be thankful. Within their contract they promise to refund you your full patent research money if they find an identical patent.

And of course you wouldn't see a need to invest an additional 12,000 into a non profitable patent. So to get around that they just tell you that your patent is good and if they find anything identical then they are only responsible for the patent research and filing fee and not the thousands of dollars taken to market it. It's a scam... A well thought out scam.Put a known Celebrity on the face of your business and you can scam the world.

Don't do it people. Nasty attitudes and entitlements are what your up against.

Invent Help - Invention Service Review

Hi this is a terrible company The only way they can stay alive by taking your money hoping you will not have the money to continue in the idea belongs to them, I went there with the idea of the removable heel for woman's shoes which is in storage right now, I paid $1000 in one week they called me they need 5000 more to move ahead,I already knew it was a scam, this was in 2007. Don't do business with them. I'm not even looking into a lawsuit because it just probably will cost a *** load of money "

Invent Help - Sales Representative Review

Juan of New York, NY. Everything has been going excellent with the services of InventHelp. When I call a representative and leave a message, they make sure that they would call me back. Then, we set up a meeting and went down with my idea. He explained all that I needed to do and what they were going to do. I'm satisfied with the resource that I've been getting so far.

INVENTHELP

I HAVE BEEN WITH INVENTHELP FOR 2 YEARS NOW AND I HAVE TO SAY THEY HAVE FULFILLED ALL OF THERE PROMISES TO ME. OUR INVENTION IS PATTEN PENDING THANKS TO OUR WONDERFUL PATTEN ATTORNEYTHEY PROVIDED. EVERY TIME I HAVE CALLED THEM THEY ARE VERY QUICK TO RESPOND AND ANSWER ALL OF MY QUESTIONS. I BELEIVE THEY ARE DOING THERE VERY BEST TO FIND A COMPANY FOR MY INVENTION. I WAS TOLD IN THE BEGINING THAT IT TAKES BETWEEN 3 AND 5 YEARS TO GET AN INVENTION TO MARKET. I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT ONLY 1 PERCENT MAKE IT.IT IS NOT EASY THINKING OF SOMETHING THAT NO ONE ASE HAS THOUGHT OF. INVENTHELP DOES THERE BEST WHEN THEY SEARCH FOR SIMILAR INVENTIONS BUT THEY TOLD US UP FRONT THAT THERE IS NO WAY TO KNOW IF A SIMILAR INVENTION IS ON THE DRAWING BOARD AT THE PATTEN OFFICE ALREADY. EVERYONE THAT CONSIDERS INVENTING ANYTHING NEEDS TO KNOW IT IS A VERY HIGH-RISK INVESTMENT AND IF YOU CANT AFFORD TO LOSE DONT PLAY. GOOD LUCK AND DONT BLAME INVENTHELP IF YOU DONT SUCCEED THEY CAN ONLY DO SO MUCH.

JUST SAY NO!

We would be more than happy to help this respondent, but he needs to identify himself to us. The companies to which we submit our clients’ invention information have signed Confidentiality Agreements agreeing to review our clients’ inventions in confidence. We update our inventor clients on any responses we receive as a result of these submissions. While InventHelp provides a useful service to inventors, it is unfortunate that it’s so difficult to obtain the outcome that inventors desire. This respondent’s depiction of our services is inaccurate and misleading. Our company has positive reviews on many forums, an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, etc. We wish the respondent would contact us directly to discuss his concerns.

Don't do it! Warning, Warning, Warning, they will take you to the cleaners!

We are 13k poorer. With NO invention in sight. The submission list is LIES! They won't give you the contact information to the companies, or the contact person for each company.

Your suppose to just TRUST that they are doing this when I in fact found that they are not, and had the proof, and still they are taking me to the cleaners! JUST SAY NO!

Run away as fast as you can, don't give these crooks a penny! Cant sleep at night, sick to my stomach, want to cry!

Invent Help - Anonymous Review from Houston, Texas

We would be more than happy to help this respondent, but the respondent needs to identify himself to us. Our contract is a two year service providing inventor assistance. If a client wishes to pay for the services over time that does not negate his responsibility to pay for the services in full and payment should not be based on the outcome of which there are no guarantees. Furthermore, our inventor success stories are not paid advertisers. The respondent should contact us so that we can address his concerns.
