INVENTION HELP

Invention Gear is dedicated to informing inventors, to help them navigate through the often frustrating challenges associated with inventing, prototyping, patenting, marketing and licensing their invention.

Invention Help - Inventors Beware

When inventors are seeking help with their invention, it is important that they differentiate the legitimate invention companies from those that are fraudulent.

However, for inventors, this is not always easy since invention companies often operate in a similar way.

Types of Invention Help Services

Invention help companies normally operate in two main ways:

• Fee based invention help services are those companies that charge you an upfront fee for invention help.

• Contingency or commission based invention help services provide inventors with services and only receive payment based upon what the company achieves for the inventor.

Obviously, invention help services on contingency are more sought after since inventors have little financial risk.

Furthermore, the fact that an invention help company would work on contingency says a lot about their confidence in being able to be successful with an invention.

Invention Help Services To Watch Out For

Inventors need to be careful for those invention help services that have large upfront fees but have a very low success rate.

Inventors may be surprised, but the average invention help company has a success rate of less than 1%.

As a result, it is imperative that inventors ask the success rate of companies that they work with or seek to find a company that works on contingency.
