InventorEd, Inc. Presents:

Before you pay $8000 to ISC or  other invention corporation, you should ask yourself the following:

As the top Licensing Agent for Invention Submission Corporation, I know their operation well.  In fact, I pioneered several of the licensing techniques that their marketing & licensing arm 'Intromark, Inc.' still employs.  The individuals at Intromark are great  people.  The problem with ISC, however, is that they bring in over a hundred new inventions each month and only have a handful of licensing personnel to strike deals for the inventors.  The company's focus is on selling the inventors their services through national television advertising.  The inquiries come into their sales offices around the country, where the ISC sales reps try to sign them up, at least with their 'B.I.P.' (Basic Information Packet) at first.  The salesmen are paid around 40% of what is paid down! They hardly make anything if they use their in-house finance company 'Universal Finance Corporation', which is pretty much set up for inventors who can't get financed anywhere else - but will pay what they can into the service until they figure out nothing is going on and stop.  The sales reps don't know anything about licensing or how to get a deal, they just know how to sell the service.  We always joked about how clueless they were. 

Once the inventor is signed up, then all of the work is done from Pittsburgh, PA.  The company has over 150 employees at any given time to handle the workload, but only a handful in the Licensing Department - you figure it out.  They have a Research Department that will print you up a bunch of census and market research garbage.  They sub-out the patent work to some lowball outfit in South Dakota, who I believe has never turned down an application due to matching art.  They have a Creative Department filled with teenagers using Photoshop or Corel Draw to layout your brochure - they are paid $10 a brochure.  The brochures are then printed next door by the owner's printing business.  There is a Publicity Department, which sends out about 100-150 press releases per invention on average.  Then the invention is submitted to their 'ISC Databank' of companies in numerous categories that have signed confidentiality agreements to review new product ideas from ISC.  It sounds good in theory, but reality is the Databank is loaded with very small companies and even individuals, both of which are incapable of licensing and generating significant sales required to pay the inventor a decent royalty on units sold.  Do you really think that a major corporation's legal department is going to let their New Product Manager of Buyers sign ISC's docs?  There is "INPEX', the invention tradeshow that ISC runs, which in a nutshell is another way to extract money from inventors - selling them booth space.  No serious buyers from major entities visit this show - they think it's a joke - and it is.  They also have a Compliance Department, which puts out lawsuit fires for them regularly.  And finally, a customer service department - their biggest department - full of people they pull in off the street to keep the army of unhappy inventors at bay.  Basically, if one of the guys at Intromark (the Licensing Department) don't personally try to work the invention - chances are almost 100% that the inventor will not get a license agreement.  

Our Patent Service will get your idea protected by gaining U.S. Patent Pending status. I prepare all of the required filing forms, drawings, patent text (literally everything) for you - and in less than a month.

                                                                                                                                     Once you are patent-pending, our Submission Service includes designing and hosting a multimedia product website for your invention, and then submitting it to over 3000 search engines seeking Licensees.
