I have conducted over 10,000 hours of research on this inventor services provider.
If your goal is to get a list of a record of rejection of 100 companies that are not interested in the concept they provide that service in the $12,000 to $18,000 range. I have personally interviewed over 1000 former clients and have yet to encounter one that made more than they spend.
Based on study of accounting statements between 2011 and 2020 senior regional sales directors can receive up to 47.5% of the revenue collected.
After paying that much just to the regional sales director on top of company employees, how much capital do you feel is being used to help the client goals? According to the client checklist that clients sign with the submission agreement, they have over 100 employees. After compensating Invent Help employees, regional sales directors, marketing costs and office overhead, very little capital is left over to service accounts.
Some states like California, Texas, Virginia and North Carolina require extra disclosures to discourage client acquisition since so many customers complain to state controllers on how the experience went. The California state disclosures states ZERO clients in their limited jurisdictional analysis profited from this company submission services.
The company operates at the fringe of legitimacy. They are well represented in the litigious space and crush complaints from under funded candidates. The company has been sued numerous times in various jurisdictions. The two times when well funded entities pursued legal matters they settled for millions of dollars to escape the discovery process.
A US Federal whistle-blower recently made very damaging allegations regarding company culture.
The writer of this review is not an attorney but based on research the patent search firm out of Florida looks for reasons to give positive opinions on prior art to increase the likelihood clients spend additional money.
The South Dakota firm often writes simple patent claims to increase the chance patent applications are approved.
The reason this is concerning is USPTO rejects 70% of granted patents since multiple applications are claiming the same rights. Patents flowing from Pittsburgh based chop shops rarely get challenged, since they are written in such a way that no one wants the rights being granted.
Recordings of sales representatives presentations statements do match statements from previous recorded conversations with clients.
Last statement they know in advance your concept has mostly likely been submitted to the outfit before however you cash has not, so they gladly accept every concept besides apps for submission agreements.

Verified Reviewer |Angry scammed customer
Well I thought I was being helped by professionals. Apparently not Invent help is just like most companies thier out to get you for your money. 12.000 thousands dollars stoled from me and my parents plus the Invent help agent by the name of SEAN SHOWERS actually stoled my Invention my only prototype how would you feel.
User's recommendation: I recommend that you do as much research as you and have a lawyer if you can afford 1 .
Patent search was incomplete
They said the did a good patent search on my product and then produced a book that had all the patents they found similar to my product but didn't find my exact invention. A quick search found more product inventions that were similar but was not mentioned in the book.
The book was supposed to also inform the investor about different areas of the market search such as sales figures, interest and market numbers as to how much is sold in each, etc. Each section was to talk about a specific thing but instead of being specific, the book just rambled on with figures and information, often repeating the same information, in each section. I could have written a better and more cohesive book. They also said that if I proceeded to use them, that I was not to know which companies they contacted that may or may not have an interest in developing my invention.
The total gain of money recieved by the investor was 8% with the company receiving 2 % out of the 8 if the product was produced which would leave only 5 %. This company is real shady to say the least
User's recommendation: Ssearch to see if there are any reputable inventory help
Dishonest company - PLEASE do your research
PLEASE do your research on this company. They are very dishonest.
I have been dealing with their fraud since early 2017. Read the contract with great attention. If you already signed up, notice that the "said" steps they take in their process to get your invention out to the public are not followed, and therefore a breach of contract. Unfortunately, you won't get any response to that or any concern regarding your concerns.
If you were a part of the class action settlement, you'll see that they are not following the terms of the settlement. PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH. If you are a client, please look up the "said" companies that they said may, are or are not interested in your invention. Those companies will have nothing to do with your invention.
And many times, questionable companies.
The positive comments, I truly believe, are NOT from actual customers. PLEASE BE CAREFUL.
User's recommendation: Do not work with this company.

Verified Reviewer |Need feedback about my invention
Dont know if someone patent it because my uncle said he was going to steal it and havent got paid from it but I did receive a booklet didnt read it yet because my eyes is blurry everytime I try reading it just want to know if everything is alright
Poor communication
Invent help started out good but failed to deliver on what they promised. After a few months in the process, the communication from their office all but stopped. It is virtually impossible to get feedback from the office.
- Many locations
- Way they simply refused to work with me
- Poor customer service
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: If you can go another route, do so.
Very dissatisfied
If I could give this establishment 0 stars I would. The office in Cary North Carolina lacks professionalism and human decency.
What I experienced today was highly unprofessional. My meeting was scheduled for 5 pm which is right at the end of business hours. I called earlier to request for an email of the confidentiality agreement so that I could email it back promptly and leave more time to talk about my patent. I never received it.
As I'm in my office preparing for my meeting I hear the phone ring. Its only 4:48 so I answer the phone, but it hangs up as soon as I pick it up. I call the number back immediately, and it sends me to the receptionist for today at invent help. She says Renee (the person I was supposed to be meeting) was on the phone with someone and that Ill have to call tomorrow to set up another meeting.
I informed the receptionist that the person she was on the phone with was supposed to be me but not until 5 pm. At that moment I get a text from Renee telling me she called and that I would again need to set up an appointment. I inform the receptionist what is happening though she doesn't seem to care. She just kept saying I'll have to call back because she's with someone.
I replied with Me. She's on the phone with me. I literally just received a text from her. If you could just walk over to her and tell her I am on the phone I'm sure she will continue with our scheduled.....
that was all I could get out of my mouth before I heard the sound of disconnection. I don't know if its improper training or that some people have this disconnect due to social distancing, but I have never been treated so rudely in my life by a business.
I would not recommend this place at all for any serious persons wanting to create their dreams. .

in 2014 **** me and a couple colleagues brought a thought into a reality jeris gatlin, Cheri hensley, jonathon freeman partnered up an invented this in sole that fused with a bounce dryer sheet. That absorb wetness and keep your feet fresh all day.
I named it fresh feet. It was myself and Cheri hensley that presented the idea to the person conducting our interview. The patent was paid for with my wells fargo bank account in my name only. Some how ppl heard about my idea and accessed my information and changed it to there names.
The 3 names above is the only names that should be on the invention. I didn't know where to go drop. There everywhere I tried i was stone walled. These ppl that stole my invention made fAke child molestation videos and paperwork to get ppl to not tell me anything even got the banks to not answer my questions about any accounts and when I did find some Or opened new ones they disappeared or was moved to another one.
To this dated I have not received not one check from my product or patent. I went to invent help recently and the guy in the new office in the same complex wouldn't even look for my information to tell me what's going on. I got into drugs really bad cuz I felt hopeless Im hearing ppl is living good off my hard work and money and I have nothing please press charges against the ppl that been stealing my money I think t hats embezzlement.
Here it is almost 6 yes later and still nothing. Call me at 415410**** please don't listen to anyone except me her is Gatlin have the guy that took my interview there so he can verify its me please stay

They are dishonest. Even with the class action settlement terms they are dishonest.
I'm not sure why they haven't been shut down. All the negative comments are true as they compare to my own.
I do not believe in any of the positive comments came from actual clients. Thank you for sharing your insight.
I notified that InventHelp refutes many claims for individual solo unfunded clients. When a “well research review” backed by a large number of consumer advocacy enthusiasts; no response was made from the “online reputation analysis team”. This not legal advice to ORAT if contacted by the Federal Trade Commission, Commodifies Future Traders Commission, various state controllers, SEC, or department of justice my guess is you should choose being loyal to your country before being loyal to the CEO.
Good to know! I called them actually.
I won't be using them. Thanks for the heads up!
You've been saved! I hope others will do the same.
I unfortunately have lost time and close to $12k for services that cost less than $100.
I am very happy that you are not using them. Best to you.
