Total Scam. Took $14K from my partners and I and showcased our board game to over 100 "related companies and trade shows." Why did they take our physical board game to an electronics trade show?? Oh and them "reaching out" to other companies is them sending a spam email with no conversations. DO NOT INVEST WITH THEM. You are much better off finding a reputable marketing team for the amount of money they charge to run you a campaign instead. And they wasted two years of our time because that is how long the contract is.Review from Dalton A

I wish I could rate them a zero. They told me they would be sending me multiple lists of companies they would be sending my idea to. All I got in the mail was a cheap, wrinkled piece of paper with random company names they say are in their data base. I have contacted multiple companies that they supposedly sent my information to and have found no trace of my idea ending up in front of any of them. This company is a total scam and I am out over 10.000 dollars. Never, EVER, give them your invention. The only service they provide is information about your potential target market and a rendering (which they got wrong 10 times and clearly didnt care about) of your invention. Total and complete scam. My next step is legal action.

We are in receipt of the above referenced customer review.In February 2023, this complainant contracted for a two-year service for the assistance in submitting his invention to industry in an attempt to obtain a good faith review. Our records indicate that the service is being provided in accordance with the term's outlined in his agreement. Shortly after receiving this complaint, we reached out to the complainant regarding his concerns about the companies to whom we have submitted his invention information to in an effort to obtain a good faith review. This complainants invention information was submitted to both companies registered in our InventHelp ********* who have agreed to review inventions, and to do so on a confidential basis as well as to other companies we obtain by way of a subscription service.The complainant was not specific in either his complaint or in our conversation with him which companies he claims to have called, to whom he spoke, etc. We do not believe the baseless assertions in his complaint; but do stand ready to provide him with our own investigation of any company he legitimately questions.Nevertheless, simply in good faith, we offered to upgrade his services at no additional charge. Unfortunately, there is nothing further we can do for this complainant without his cooperation. He is welcome to call us anytime he wishes to continue our discussion or resolution efforts.Thank you for bringing this to our attention.Sincerely,************************* Compliance Manager InventHelpReview from Basm E

If there was a 0, I would have chosen it. These people do not care about your idea. I spent $20,000 just for them to copy my cad/cam and never making their own to my details. They never adjusted the way the invention works and never received my approval before creating the completely wrong depiction in their virtual presentation. Never asked me to come in and explain that the invention is only two piece, making it difficult to show to companies. Oh and I had to pay the patent attorney fees as an extra blow. Moreover, they send letters once in a while, highlighting the negative feedback regarding the invention. These passive aggressive moves are not going to bother me.Review from Iris L

You people should not lie you know better than to give 5 stars ?? Inventhelp you get NO STARS. 1 of your previous agents **** ******** scr..d me he took my invention right in front of my mother, father and me and said I quote I will send this back to you in the mail said **** ******* I never saw my protype again. If that wasn't enough I paid them 12,000 dollars on time never late payment and they made us do all the hard work and we didn't know how the process works. Three disabled people mother, father and son. And the invention was created because of my father which is know dead and gone.

We are in receipt of the above referenced customer review. Nearly six years ago, this complainant contracted for a two-year service for the assistance in submitting his invention to industry in an attempt to obtain a good faith review. Our records indicate that the services were provided in accordance with the agreement. The complainants claim now, at this late date, that we did not provide the service to which he contracted and that he never received updates regarding his services is simply untrue. In fact, our records show that the complainant was updated every step of the way as evidenced by the correspondence he received. We also had several conversations with this complainant during the course of his services to provide updates as well as to answer any questions. Additionally, regarding his prototype, we addressed this matter with him over four years ago. Nevertheless, should the complainant wish to address this or any aspect of his service, we encourage him to contact us. Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.Sincerely,************************* Compliance ManagerReview from Joseph Anthony Z

I presented my new product idea to InventHelp in 2021 .We agreed on a contract based on the needs my product requires.I paid my contract in full.InventHelp immediately contacted a very reputable Patent Attorney "***************************".I contacted K&D and communicated by Priority Mail and emails my inventions design and proprietary contents.In December of 2022 K&D presented my Patent Pending artwork and technical outlines were accepted by the ** * ************** and in February of 2023 my Invention received a Patent Pending. The normal frame of time for an idea o receive a Utility Patent is 18 months, to 36 months.I received my Utility Patent on June 6, 2023, with all 9 submitted new unpainted ideas approved by the ************** K&D were as astounded as I still am!InventHelp has kept thier word regarding communication and thier methods of articulating the best outcome and applcation of finding suitable and appropriate vendors for my *tring product. The **** has tens of thousands of Patented products that did Not go to market, therefore the 0.7 percent of successful InventHelp successful patents is based on accurate numbers. My faith in any product I Invent is placed in God's hands.I believe that there are like-minded employees of InventHelp sharing the same conviction. Whether this product is a success or not, it is God's will, not the labour's of men that dictates its market viability.InventHelp has demonstrated to me, that they are good stewards in the handling of proprietary "Inventions, and they do indeed Help" sincere inventors who possess a willingness to divorce themselves from being in love with thier ideas, and accept the reality of the percentages of outcomes this volatile market presents.My hat is off to the men and women who take the time and effort to believe in our ideas, and Help transform them into realities.Bravo, InventHelp!Review from Sandra m

Hiring InvevtHelp was absolutely the worst business decision I have ever made. Do not get involved with this organization. You will be wasting your time, *************** paid them $12,000.00 & got $0 in return from their efforts!!! They just settled a multi-million dollar class action lawsuit, paying off thousands of disappointed / angry customers. The Sale Rep I dealt with, (**********************) said I had a unique well thought out idea. Prior to hiring InventHelp I had already completed a *************, gotten a utility provisional patent, had renders/professional drawings done and written all the needed features and benefits for them. He said, I have taken my project as far as I can and I need to hire InventHelp so we can bring your dream to lifelet us sell your idea (patent / licensing rights) for you. What I got was Hustled ! ! STAY AWAY! **** ***********Review from James E

Given the limited information from this individual, we are unable to confirm whether they contracted for any of our services. We have been working with inventors since **** to submit ideas to companies in an effort to obtain a good faith review. We make it clear to all of our inventors before contracting for our services that we cant promise or guarantee results. We have no control over whether a company has interest or even responds to an invention. All inventions must stand or fall on their own merits.Review from Jaxson P

Please do not get involved with them! It seemed real promising at first with all the raving reviews, their detailed, informative website and such. *******************, the Co Founder, was the one that was on the phone with me. He seemed very ****** nice about everything he was going over with me, he said he loved my idea, he said it could actually work, blah blah all this stuff and wanted me to pay $975 upfront so that they could do research and send to a patent lawyer. The next day after that call, he texted me back saying he received my documents and that he would get back to me soon. Well, its almost the beginning of August and I still have not heard anything from anyone! Its been almost 2 months! Theyve probably already shared my idea to many people already, because I remember him saying we will never share your idea. So I call that BS. Beware of their over top false flattery. I have absolutely no doubt that this place is nothing but a bunch of crooked salesmen who are getting away with this in a boiler room. I mean the facts of the internet literally show that their are more numerous bad reviews about this place and only very few good ones. Just do the deep research and youll see.InventHelp Response

We are in receipt of the above referenced review. This complainant contracted with our company for the preparation of a Basic Information Package Report (***) as well as a Preliminary Patentability **************** (PPSO) report. The *** report assembles basic information about an invention and the history of its development in a report format. In addition, a Preliminary Patentability **************** was conducted for the idea by an independent patent attorney with whom we refer our clients patent work. When this complainant contracted for our services, he would have signed our Statement of Confidentiality which clearly states that we cannot use, sell, assign or disclose the idea to any other person, organization or corporation without his permission. Upon further review, we do not have reason to believe this complainants accusations against **************. In fact, this complainant signed disclosures and a contract acknowledging the high-risk nature of this industry, we do not evaluate, etc. Nevertheless, this complainant received a refund for the services rendered. Sincerely, ************************* Compliance Manager
