Let's get this out of the way

We're not an invention company.
We do one thing.

No "development packages." No salespeople calling you. No upsells to manufacturing or licensing deals. We search patents. We give you a report. That's it.

We've read the horror stories too

These are real quotes from Reddit. No usernames, because the point isn't who — it's how common this is.

"I payed them over 21 thousand dollars and all I received is a book of my invention."

— r/inventors, about Davison

"I wrote them 2 checks, received nothing and the person I met with is no longer to be found."

— r/inventors

"Most of the time InventHelp is a SCAM/total waste of time and money."

— r/inventors

"Any invention companies who broker patents are a scam and it's illegal!"

— r/inventors

Fair questions

How do I know you won't steal my idea?

Every submission is encrypted and covered by our Inventor Confidentiality Agreement. We never file patents on anything submitted to us. Our business model is selling reports — not your IP. We'd go out of business overnight if we violated that trust.

What if you find out my idea isn't patentable?

Then you just saved thousands of dollars. That's a good outcome, not a bad one. Our report explains exactly what was found, how close it is, and whether there's a way to differentiate. Some of the best patents come from understanding the landscape and finding the gaps.

Your ideas stay yours.

Encrypted submissions. Inventor Confidentiality Agreement. We never file patents on your ideas. Ever.
