World Patent Marketing Reviews
Tried several sources to verify legitimate operation before investing first $995.00 for patent search
(which supposedly was done....I don't know how thoroughly) - then $3000.00 for patial payment of
$10K fee for "CORE SERVICES" - e-mailed and received no answers, then called to follow up and found phones disconnected,
Understand offices are empty....
Mozille doesn't permit cut & paste so check the web for Miami Herlad's expose of World Patent Marketing
FTC has frozen the WPM assets and closed them down. Court hearings took place 4-2-17.
Hope to recover my losses. Hope you haven't been victimized as I was.
World Patent Marketing was paid to do all things needed to get a patent. They wasted not only months of my time but part of the payment was a payout i took. I lost my home and truck and do not have a perment residence The second half of payment was a loan from a friend that their parent just died.
I was lied to by more than 1 person from this so called company. I have all emails from each 1 that I was dealing with. Also have some dates and times when we talked on the phone. I would b more than happy to share this info with any one that can stop these people.
I am a former employee at WPM and let me explain you exactly how this scam works.
First step is they'll tell you to send in your idea so that they can get it to their "professional" review team so they can determine if your idea is something they believe can be successful and if they want to help you work on it. - Lies!
Next day they'll call you and tell you your idea passed the minimum requirements and they are now sending it over to the review team for more research and that most ideas don't make it past the review. - Lies!
The following day they'll call and tell you that the review team requested more time to research your product ,which is usually a good sign because if they don't like an idea they'll usually drop it right away, so if the review team likes your idea you'll know you're on to something great. -Lies!
Then on the 4th day they call you excitingly telling you that the review team loved your idea! they definitely see potential for it to be marketed or licensed to a major manufacture, and World patent marketing wants to be a part of your project! The next step is to create an "invention royalty analysis". They will tell you this is absolutely necessary and required by manufactures and If you were to create the analysis by yourself it would cost around $7K, but since WPM wants to help you, they will absorb most of the cost and your price will end up being $1,295. Now this is not in any way a patent, it's simply the research they claim you need before even thinking of getting your patent. Once the analysis is done they will give you patent options that range from $2,000 to $30,000.
Now remember, no matter how dumb, ridicules, or unoriginal your idea may be they will always tell you everything I mentioned above because they want you to fork over the $1,295. The whole step by step process was simply created to get you exited about your idea and make you believe your millions of dollars are around the corner so that when they ask you for the $1,295 it'll sound like pennies.
They have absolutely no intention of really helping you get your idea out there. They get poor people to empty their bank accounts, they get broke people to borrow the money, all by selling them a dream that for 99% of the people has no chance of coming true.
They are literally the lowest of the low. Stay far, far away!
It has come to my attention that this company, was established in March 2014, from what I know they have no patents, or products that have been marketed, I submitted the a fried chicken and waffle sandwich as a Idea, i know for a fact that you cannot make a patent on a sandwich, yet they approved it, the original person I started with,they said was traveling the World, because he was promoted, than another person took over, they wanted to market my product, just want to know how a manufacturer would buy my chicken sandwich? anyway i kept them on the hook, than I got another project manager, so i assume the other guy got promoted, also they have a great rating with trust pilot, so I looked up trust pilot reviews, they have many fake reviews all over, by many different consumers, all i am saying, look them up with, USPTO.GOV, and I also heard that the the Federal Trade Comission is looking at them, if you are interested in working with a company call the USPTO at 866-767-3848
This stealthy undercover operation some how has a similiar web domain name similiar to the supposedly legitmate "Patent Services" who is in direct competiton with getting ideas and pictures and photos and sketch designs from unsuspecting
inventors and creators .They simultaneously send texts to the client who is corresponding with "Patent Services" very quickly sending a text message requesting the applicant to send all their phots of sketches and pics of creation to them,then they send a quick text with disclaimer of ever returning them.They are unwittingly stolen,forever.
A very stealth and slick operation,you never get those pics back and the if accidently sign the "Submit your idea" disclaimer.Your are done. They will never wite back ,call or anything that acknowledges you exist. By this time you will be fuming beyond what is humanley acceptable as remotely normal. So,please dear viewers do not share any thing at all ever that you make create or design.Please hath great patience stick it in the closet and let it rot until you know for certain. Never handle these busienss deals online ,you must vist the offices and do all of your home work on Laws first.
I know it makes money,but it will do nothing when they steal it before your eyes.Sorry and condolonces to those victims already hurt immemsely from these godawful tactics.Most unamerican company on Earth.
