Anyone who has read much of what I have written here and over at Troubleshooter.com know that I am not a friend of invention promotion companies. While I believe most try to comply with the law, I don’t believe these organizations offer a lot for the substantial sums of money paid to them.
Anyhow, the point of this post is not to give my very strong opinions but to give you a resource in investigating invention promotion companies. With the passage of the Inventors Protection Act of 1999, the USPTO is required to provide a public forum for the publication of complaints concerning invention promotion companies.
So without further adieu:
