  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
