Patents to Retail Response
04/16/2024
Dear *************************,
I am *********************, the President, and Owner of Patents to Retail, and I am writing in response to your recent one-star review. I must express my disappointment at the unjustified and slanderous nature of your comments, which I intend to address directly to the Better Business Bureau and now allow me to provide a point-by-point response to the issues you raised.
Firstly, you mentioned an upfront cost of $9000, which is inaccurate. Our invoice, dated October 15th, 2020, was for an amount less than what you stated. It seems there may be confusion, as you mentioned having used an invention promotion company, Invent Help, in your email to my office dated February 23rd, 2021. I urge you to rectify this confusion and remove the inaccurate review accordingly.
Regarding your invention, the Weight Bar Assembly (US 952-2298 B2), our relationship began with our invoice #***, dated October 15th,2020, as per our records. While our business model offers both licensing and production options, you chose the licensing option, which we have diligently adhered to, providing monthly updates as per our Agreement.
We have received several emails from you acknowledging our efforts and expressing appreciation. For example, your email dated January 22nd, 2021, commended our work, and another email on September 13th, 2021,expressed gratitude for our continued support. Throughout our collaboration,our updates and work product were met with your satisfaction.
Although our Agreement expired, we remain committed to representing your product should interest develop. However, it is disappointing that three years later,without any communication, you chose to post a fictitious and slanderous review. I urge you to reconsider and reach out to discuss any concerns directly. My contact information is readily available on our website.
In conclusion, I am disheartened by your review, which not only misrepresents our efforts but also prevents us from exploring further opportunities for your product. If you are serious about bringing your product to production, I invite you to reach out, and we can discuss options, including guaranteed placement on Amazon and Walmart.
I expect your attention and correction to this matter.
Sincerely,
*********************
President, Patents to Retail
