  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.

  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.

  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

  They stole my idea and my commercial. They send you a package to describe, draw and explain your invention, and if you wish, include a script for commercial. I did this for heated windshield wiper blades that are hardwired to the battery, saying they would be great for first responder vehicles, especially in ****** (where I am from). A few months later, lo and behold, someone on tv is standing in front of a palm tree with a police officer and fireman holding a prototype of my heated windshield wiper. They used my script too lol.Don't send them your idea, they'll take it and run. I'm surprised they're still in business.

  A review of our records indicates this respondent is not an InventHelp client nor do we have any records of ever having met or spoken with this respondent. It is clear that the respondent does not have a clear understanding of the invention promotion industry or the services that InventHelp provides to inventors. Again, this is not an InventHelp client.

  We are in receipt of the above referenced complaint.We do not have this inventor in our system. We do not have record of this inventor ever calling in, meeting with us, or even mailing anything to them.They must have the wrong company. In fact, we would never ask anyone to include a script of a commercial as that is not part of the services we provide.We respectfully request that you do not post this complaint against our company as its not ours.

  This complainant contracted with our company for the preparation of a Basic Information Package Report (BIP) as well as a Preliminary Patentability Search & Opinion (PPSO) report. The BIP report assembles basic information about an invention and the history of its development in a report format. In addition, a Preliminary Patentability Search & Opinion was conducted for the idea by an independent patent attorney with whom we refer our clients’ patent work. The reports for which this complainant contracted were delivered to the address on record. Should this complainant have any questions regarding the Basic Information Package he received, he should contact us directly. Should he have any questions regarding the Preliminary Patentability Search & Opinion, he should contact his patent attorney. Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. Sincerely, ***** ******* Compliance Manager

  We have been working with inventors since **** to submit ideas to companies in an effort to obtain a good faith review.As part of our services, we provided a *********************** wherein we create a scale model representation of the invention made from white ABS plastic or resin material. After sending this inventor her prototype model, we did not receive any indication that she was unsatisfied in any way. Further, we referred her to an outside, independent patent attorney for the preparation and prosecution of a patent application. It is our understanding that the invention is currently patent pending.We make it clear to all of our inventors before contracting for our services that we cant promise or guarantee results. While we empathize with her frustration, 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. This client is currently over $5,000 in arrears on her account. We encourage her to pay for the services. Sincerely,************************* Compliance Manager InventHelp

  $18,766...PAID IN FULL... for nothing! No invention, no patent, no prototype, not even one of their 100 preferred manufactures called with questions or interest in my invention. I read many of the reviews about InventHelp, before reaching out to them and starting this long process. I didn't recall seeing a review that stating that a client had paid in full-with no results. In January 2019, I decided to invest in my invention by taking funding from my 401k plan to start a payment plan that was handled through *********************** April 2021, I was told by mail from the Invent Help referred *************** **************************** - that my patient request was rejected for the final time; after several submissions.Well, I PAID IN FULL - $18,766 for over three years and if anyone is reading this review. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY OR ANY COMPANIES WITH THE INVENTHELP name on it!Still no invention, nor have I yet to see anything like my invention (not yet anyway)

  This complainant contracted for our services over three years ago 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 contract. Additionally, he contracted for our *************** Services referring him to an independent patent attorney for the preparation and prosecution of a patent application. We prepared a New Product Submission Brochure announcing the availability of the complainants invention. We submitted the complainants New Product Submission Brochure to companies in the InventHelp ********* that have agreed to review our clients inventions in confidence. We followed up with certain of these companies in an attempt to obtain feedback on the invention. Any response we received as a result of our submission efforts was reported to him. We also prepared an Invention Summary and Press Release, which announces the availability of the idea, but does not disclose the working details. The Invention Summary is sent to companies outside the InventHelp *********, and the Press Release is utilized for an online publicity distribution service, where it will be distributed to search engines, journalists, and bloggers. Before any inventor contracts for our services we make it clear that we cant promise or guarantee results. While we understand this complainants disappointment regarding lack of positive interest in his invention, he knew the risks when he purchased our services. Unfortunately, while we empathize with his frustration, we have no control over whether a company has interest in an invention. Furthermore, we also make it clear to each inventor before contracting for patent services that neither InventHelp nor the patent attorney can promise or guarantee that the Patent and **************** will issue a patent and a patent can be denied at any time during the pendency period, which this complainant acknowledged. Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.Sincerely,************************* Compliance Manager InventHelp

  Today "****" from InventHelp called my phone by mistake. When I told her that "the person she was trying to call doesn't use my phone so please don't call it again" she said, "What a rude *****," then hung up on me. Very unprofessional. They called the wrong number then felt it was their right to cuss at me for asking them not to call again. I see they lost a $3,000,000 class action lawsuit brought by customers-- not exactly a company I want having my phone number. I wouldn't use InventHelp if cussing out people who just happen to answer the phone is their idea of "help."

  We are in receipt of the above reference review.This individual is not an InventHelp client and we have received multiple requests to contact an individual at this number who has requested to receive information regarding our services. We would encourage this individual to cease from continuing to contact us moving forward so that we no longer return her inquiries.

  Horrible. Took our money and that was the end of so called services. Don’t do it. The “lawyer” is out of Chicago and never returns calls. What a huge waste of our money and time.

  We are in receipt of the above referenced review. Almost 4 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, and in their entirety in November 2021. This complainants claim now, at this late date, 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. Additionally, we would be more than willing to refer the complainant to another patent attorney and reached out to inform the complainant of this; but was unable to reach them. Please encourage the complainant to contact me directly and in the meantime, thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. Sincerely,************************* Compliance Manager InventHelp

  Beware.... The representative I had my contact with is a slick one. He makes everything sound fantastic. He never actually said I would get my patent after their initial research was completed, but I got that impression with all his slick talking. The initial price was $ 975.00 to get their research teams and Lawyers involved to see if someone else already have a patent on my idea. After some time this rep told me no one else had a patent on my idea. This rep mentioned that to continue the researching to find if any companies that might be interested in my idea would cost $ 11,000 to $15000 more. The rep kept telling me this through the total process of our conversation. I told him from the start and throughout our total conversations I don't have even one thousand dollars after I pay the initial $ 975.00. The rep keep reminding me of this money to continue, to borrow it from a bank etc. I assumed I had the patent after I sent the $ 970.00 and their investigation was completed. Months went by without hearing from him. I finally called him back and he again reminded me about the money to continue. I told him I didn't receive any information about my patent yet. He then stated I didn't have a patent. Sooo basically I paid $ 970.00 for a very impressive package pertaining to my idea ONLY.

  This complainant contracted with our company in March, 2022 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. Upon completion, this complainant received copies of his *** report and Preliminary Patentability Search and Opinion Report.We provide every prospective client with a copy of our ************** brochure, which clearly outlines all of our services and the cost associated with our services. Our contracts and disclosures, which this complainant signed, as well as our company literature make it very clear that we offer invention submission services in two stages. We have no reason to believe that the complainant was not informed of this fact. Additionally, we do not give patent advice and we rely on the opinion of the independent patent attorneys with whom we refer our clients to give their professional opinion. Any activity and/or questions surrounding the patent or the process should be directed to the patent attorney. Our company upheld our contractual obligations and provided the service for which the complainant contracted. We would encourage him to contact us if he would like to discuss his concerns further.Sincerely,************************* Compliance Manager InventHelp
