Back in 2017 I come up with a great invention, a tool that made my job a hundred times better, a tool that I used everyday and realised I invited someone, so I googled it and could not even find anything remotely close to my idea and every time I googled looking for it, Davidson aka, invention land kept coming up in my google search, so stupid me clicks onto their page and immediately I was convinced to contact them directly it was like I was given no other choice, so I sent them a email about my great idea, about the tool I had already made, I pretty much was contacted by Greg Mcita, who made me extremely excited and gave me promising words, got a quick $700 odd dollars off me to per suit my idea with multiple promises, as they say, to good to be true and leaving me excited and absolutely sure about everything checks out to see if it’s worth perusing and sends me what I have already exactly googled, again with the confidence and assurance that they can do so much for me sends me out a bunch contracts to sign to say keep it quit and how they will have a professional team design it better for me send it to me to examine then at my own cost must send it back, well, after getting over $14,000 dollars off me they took a long time to email me the end results and said their ready to send it, but before they do they said, sorry might I add that now my idea was being handled by a man named, Frank Vescio, Frank told me that they think it’s a great idea over the phone to send it directly to the targeted company, with his supporting words and making me feel very excited and hopeful I agreed, weeks went by, finally after me, the customer that paid all this money hassled them for a response, Frank Vescio finally gets beck to me and says, I’m sorry but they aren’t interested with my product, but, but in the same breath, Frank Vescio asked me for another $9000 to promote My idea on their web page as a commercial, WOW, after already years of promises and agreements not only did nothing eventuate but Frank lied to me several times, even one time over the phone in a quick breath told me he will forward me the email that was sent to him by the targeted company what they had said how they weren’t interested, I am still waiting for that email, so disappointed in every result that Davidson promised to deliver, I even tried reaching back out to, Greg Mcita, the response was, I’m sorry but that’s not my department I can’t help you, hello, you were the one that tricked me into all this, it is now 06/July/2022 and I have had no call back follow up, NOTHING from Davidson, not a thing since I told them I have no more money, not a thing, I am absolutely disgusted in the way things where handled, if I was to explain to anyone about this company, my words would be, Davidson is a well organised crime company and should be jailed for their crimes to innocent people, please, please be aware of Davidson they lie and manipulate you out of money.
Desired outcome: Either give me my product you promised or my money back and please stop doing this to innocent people
Waiting on Prototype!
I paid £7,513.30 paid to Davison Design on 17th April 2018 for a product that did not and will not come to fruition.
My sister who invented the product, has had breast cancer and now has a brain tumour so cannot follow this up, once again I am chasing it for her, as I did originally make the payment for her.
This has now been deemed as a scam. Davison’s have not been in touch with us for years and probably don’t intend to.
The product will never happen and we need the money back now! Its been going on too long
Desired outcome: money back
Lied about creating my invention
I got involved with Davison Design & Development November 2021.
November 11 2021, I made my payment of $795 witch I was told would be used for the patent. We were going to have a phone call every week witch was true until I made my last payment on March 31 2022. Now its May 21, 2022, I have called, emailed and left voicemails. I have not got a response for a month and a half.
Desired outcome: To get the money back that i paid and have not received the services for.
Both my invention product ideas
I had been in 2 contracts and paid a a total of $24,000 to Davisin, since 08/05/2016. This company manipulates and makes you believe that they will get manufacturer and get product marketed and royalties paid to you. With pre recorded videos of other TV shows trying to convince you that this will happen to you.. Nothing but a bunch of lies. Davison is a...

I mailed them 2 Confidential letters of my Stainless Steel Reversible Refrigerator, my Side-by-Side, and French Door Refrigerator in 2004 and they sent me a contract for another invention I was working on with them. Instead of sending me a contract for my stainless steel refrigerator ideas, they pushed me to try do my other invention first. While they was working with me on my other invention idea, they went and made my 3 stainless steel refrigerators you see in stores today. This is a very very very dirty company and they do some evil things and definitely not trustworthy. I would never suggest anyone share your invention ideas with them if you do not have the large upfront cash needed to make it happen, because while they are prolonging your case working with you, they will be working on getting your invention idea made for themselves behind your back. You will be funding their movement to steal your invention idea. While they promote themselves like stars as inventor helpers, you will not make any progress only be paying them money. While they making money off your invention ideas they had no goal to make happen. They will prolong your project for years while you making payments - they will be making your project for themselves.
Desired outcome: I want my royalties off my 3 stainless steel refrigerators they stole from underneath me.
I paid this company $24,000 dollars and they did not do the services they promised, that was stated on contract. we both signed 6 years ago
On August 5,2016 I came into contract with Davison. This was the first of 5 contracts in which I was only told about 1 contract stating the services they would be providing. They did perform $795.00 service that was performed I will state that's it. After that was paid then I had to sign another contract that was $17,000 for rest of services in which this company did not perform.. well this company had me so convinced that I was fixing to be a rich woman so I went ahead and submitted my second invention idea, just to get scammed worse.
This company is a bad buisness as soon as they get your monies its like they just stop working and stop communicating. They manipulated, lied to me. They need to be put out of buisness. they lie cheat and steal your life savings. They need to be stopped now. All I want is a big portion of my monies refunded.
I am in $20,000 debt because they are trying g to keep my monies. I advise everyone DO NOT LET THIS COMPANY SCAM YOU OUT OF YOUR MONEY!
Desired outcome: My money back

Invention idea
I had an idea for an invention back in 2009 and since then have paid in a total of $25k.From r&d to product samples to multi company campaign to production quote.they originally presented the product to a company back in 2010.to no avail.since then they have been taking money from me every single time and claiming that its gonna get my product to stores which it isnt.in the multi company campaign they would present it to 45 different companies which is not getting anywhere.i then paid in $5000 which they claimed I would eliminate the middle man and go direct.after speaking with frank vescio once week for 3 months I asked him how much its gonna be to get the ball rolling to get it into stores he said it is free.then several. Weeks latet i get an email saying that they would need an additional $17k.to get it into stores.thats when i stopped.i believe i was lied to since day one.
Desired outcome: Get my money back and apology from the company especially Frank Vescio
Everything
I paid Davison $25,000 for 2 product inventions. This company is a complete fraud . This company steals your money and lies about everything , no one will ever answer your questions .
I started in contract with Davison on 8/5/2016 and I have never even seen a product example of what I paid for on either one of my inventions . IT is now 3/6/2022 I never hear from this company . I have not gotten any response to emails , phone call voice messages nor has anyone from this company even acknowledge that I have a contract.
Davison design and development is a fraud full of scamming employees.
This company needs to be shut down .
So they can never steal people's money again .DAVISON IS A FRAUD!
Desired outcome: I would like for them to settle out / refund my money
Davis design and development
I contacted Davison Design and Development with an invention idea. I spoke with Matt Olszewski at Davison. He talked a good talk and I said I would go forward. I paid $695 thinking this isn't so bad for a patent. It turned out the $695 was just for the patent search. I was called every week for the progress that was being made. After about a month I missed a call from Matt. I tried calling back and left a message. I didn't hear back from him that day. Wondering why he didn't contact me I decided to look into Davison Design and Development a little farther and found numerous complaints with the Better Business Bureau. I called again the next day and got a answering machine. I sent a text stating we needed to talk. He called me back finally and when I asked him how much more it was going to cost me he said between $8000 and $16,000.00 more. When I started to ask him why he didn't give me those figures at the beginning because it I would have known that I would not have agreed to work with them. (Davison) He got very defensive and continued to talk over me and cutting me off when I tried talking to him.
I was misinformed and feel like I have been taken advantage of. When I asked about a refund he said "YOU ARE NOT GETTING A REFUND"! I have since found law suits against them for similar things.
Desired outcome: I would like my money back! I was totally misinformed about the process of patenting and marketing a product. I tried to send a file containing what he sent me but it wouldn't accept the file.
I too have lost 1,667.00. I told Matt Olszewski that I already had a patent for my idea. He stated it was apart of the procedure to still do a search which cost me 667.00. Once that was done it appeared that the search matched inventions related to what my patented idea already showed which was a waste of my money. I payed another 1,000 dollars to start a sketch of my idea with the next step of producing a prototype all for a total over 13,000 dollars. The sketch took a long time to do and had to be sent back for corrections according to Matt. When I became suspicious and articulated such to Matt he presented a sketch. The sketch was not bad but my gut felt something wasn't right. I researched the company and a host of complaints were there confirming my suspicions. I told Matt that I needed a few days to think about my decision and his response was shocking. He expressed anger because of my decision not to send over 11,000 and no longer wanted to proceed. He went from calm Matt to another character. I do believe I was being taken and when I delayed in moving forward it triggered that reaction. I was taken for 1,667.00 and was about to taken for more. Saddened!
They claim they are patent agency, then viral people to steal inventions
They claim they are patent agency, then viral people to steal inventions! They work together with other invention agencies as a crime ring mob! They let inventions get filed then lock them all up knowing the inventions are good and real to make more false promises to the public! Then expell inventors from doing business with them! So they can deny more people paying for inventions by locking up the inventors allowing an array of legal arguments in court to steal from people. Cause inventors inventions are locked up and expelled anyone else that files they can go oh no sorry the inventors we're kicked out of our services and there inventions cancel yours out so we made you legal false promises with injustice lies and deceit! Then they apply to be IRS agents and back up the businesses! Claiming it is a successful business working at IRS also! The business cancels people's deals gives no refund, calculates travel expenses to amount they steal. As well all of there contracts are open they can not close a contract legally unless they refund the money or get a business deal! Basically they make contract agreement, and do not ever close anyone's contract they violate contract by upsetting customer on purpose, then say we can not do business with you. Which violates the contract, they refuse to abide by the contract they made and agreed to. No where does it say they can back out of contract just cause they are being sued! In fact a person can sue them and they are suppose to still forfill the contract agreement!

Did the Davison Invention Corporation ever make it right with you? I've submitted my idea and they have completed a patent search.
Now they want more money to make me a prototype.
Should I trust them?

I Philip Atherley need to come a resolution with my Invention (EAGLE EYE)
I Philip Atherley was duped by Davison Invention Corporation; I had placed all my believed in Davison Invention. That they could bring my dreams to a reality. I made all my payments faithfully, every week until paid off. I Philip Atherley received different contracts to review. The first package I received from Davison; IDEA-TO-PRODUCT-PORTFOLIO. I became so excited. I review all their contracts. On one of their original contracts, it stated that Davison already have a company to develop my product Idea. “DMA INC.”
Upon completion of payment. I Philip Atherley received a letter from Davison, stating that “DMA INC” cannot develop from Invention. No details or explanations. I also paid for a Provisional Patent. I am appalled at Davison misrepresentation to sway me into believing that I am in good hands. I should of not send any money to this company from the beginning. I Philip Atherley paid the total sum of $14,320.00. I Philip Atherley and my family made several trips to 495 Alpha Drive Pittsburgh, PA 15238 meet with the “Senior Director of New Products.” Never seen a Prototype of my invention, I paid $395.00 for repackaging agreement. $2,495.00 for a video that partially fulfill the visual depiction of my invention (EAGLE EYE). It my beliefs that the video was downloaded over the internet. The next letter I received from Davison, was for a Multiple Company Campaign Agreement. The representative was asking for $9,000.00 dollars. To take my Invention to different companies. Yet I have not seen a prototype. I paid $100.00 as a down payment but refused to make any additional payments. Under Davison contract agreement that I have: Multiple Company Campaign Agreement, under Corporation Targeting Services. Line 1-4 states nothing about money to further my Invention, (EAGLE EYE). My address has not changed, I have not heard from Davison; making me believe I was scam. My phone number: Home [protected], Cell [protected]. I Philip Atherley need some answers! I am very Disappointed in Davison.
Physical product design
Me and my business partner are from the minority community in the capital of New York. We reside in Albany, NY. I am an hispanic male and my partner is an African American Woman. We have been strung along by Davison Design & Development, George Crompton, James Tarasi, and John Kalichuk. They will try to take responsibility off of their hands by suggesting that our frustration with them and our emails to them is cause for their insubordination. Of course they will say that because thats exactly what employees of companies do when they dont want to take responsibility for their lack of professionalism. I have a stern warning to anyone that is suggesting to hire Davison to bring their dream to life. DO NOT HIRE THEM! We hired them back in the beginning of the year 2020 and its 2022 now and the last prototype they sent us last week fell apart 30 seconds after taking it out the usps box. They wasted almost 2 years of our life with their lack of professionalism. They outsource their work. You can find the same people on fiverr that davison hires to bring your dream to life. They are a stone age company that is slowing deteriorating away and their excellent google ads are what and still is the main source of their income because it isnt word of mouth or any kind of stellar reviews. They have neither one of those. What they have is marketing and they pay google to put them at the top of their search page. All we have from Davison is a book with our names on it that has a bunch of mumbo jumbo inside but no finished product in our hands. Just long deadlines and terrible terrible prototypes. No packaging. No dream brought to life. Just 2 small minority business owners trying to make a way out with a dream from a minority woman that has been shattered and doused with flames by Davison Design & Development and their narcissistic employees George Crompton, James Tarasi, and John Kalichuk. If anyone wants to reach out to me and find out more please dont hesitate to contact me because if I can help even one person not get scammed by Davison Design & Development, George Crompton, James Tarasi, and John Kalichuk then i'll feel good about helping us cause if we knew we would have NEVER hired Davison Design & Development
Desired outcome: REFUND
Both my invention services
I have been in contract with this company since 8/5/2016.
I paid them a total of $24,000 dollars for 2 inventions. I did my part and complied with the contracts and paid in full and they did not even do anything they said they were going to do.. This company is nothing but a scam. They breach there own contract and now I can not even get any responses from anyone at that company, they act like that I don't even exist. I want my money back. All the people that I did speak with from that company "davison design and development" are well trained scam artist. Thats all they do is lie and try and cheat you out of your money. This company needs to do the right thing and settle out with me..
Desired outcome: I want to settle out and give me at least some of my money back I deserve that
Invention idea
I have paid in $25000 into davison for an idea that I thought of.and recently received an email from Frank vescio that if i wanted to get my idea into marketing and sales I would have to pay an additional $17000.this company is a bunch of crooks.starting with Mr.davison himself.i can't count how many people I spoke to at davison before they disappear.and I end up dealing with Mr.scam artist vescio.
I submitted and paid $15000.00 + in college funds and was dupped
I provided $15000.00 + in cash to put my idea in motion... They/you did nothing! I want justice, I have all documents, recordings and recorded correspondents. Please someone help, I feel, from later investigations they are a sham. I will sit down, interview and tell my story and would like others to stand up. Shame on them. After further review this is not the first, second, third, fourth, etc... time. This must stop and I will not...

Desired outcome: Return money
This is a scam
My name is Frances. Greer I have paid Davison over $25, 000 for 2 inventions.This companyis a scam you people at. Davison took my monies and then breached your own contract and never even pursued any companies that you said you were .
that makes you liars, scammers and need to be stopped scamming people out of their life savings. You need to be put out of buisness .
I want my money refunded immediately and as you know I have already filed reports on this company being a scam with state generals office and FTC you need to reimburse me and alot of others
Desired outcome: I want to be reimbursed immediately
Design and real world prototype was to be done
I contacted Davidson to help design a super cool prototype that would have that wow affect when it was done correctly by a professional design company. I invested the initial payment and then decided to invest in a working prototype, because the design manager had me convinced they would get me a real world prototype done that had that wow affect for my new invention. I took a loan out for $8000 to move my idea forward with Davidson, then sent them my working prototype, videos, designs and invention material.
The project was to be done withing a year, but 3 years went by with many sleepless nights knowing nothing was getting done, but the manager kept insuring me that it was all about getting the prototype done correctly and having ready for the real world. I must have heard that same speech over and over for 3 years, but one day they said the prototype and design was done and it was nice working with you etc…. Here is the kicker….Davidson was saying they would work on getting it licensed to companies, and wanted me to sign this document saying if it was lost in the mail while working with companies, they would not be responsible. I got to thinking they either do not have a working prototype or they made a half [censored] one that did not work. I have asked for the prototype to be mailed to me asap and have in insured so I can see if it really works, but have yet to receive it in the mail. Bet money they lose it in the mail.
At one point after a year went by I took it upon myself to do it all myself, so I got on FIVER website and got my prototype design made, my sell sheet, my virtual rendering and my provisional patent done within one week, yes one week I did everything and much more for only $150. I paid Davidison Design $8000 and got nothing. Please, If I can help anyone out there please do not use Davidson Design it will be the worst thing you could ever do….
It has been excuse after excuse and a horrible and painful three years since this started, the mental strain I have had from this company has been over the top and my blood pressure is through the roof. Can anyone stop this company from ripping people off and stealing their hard earned money.
Bottom Line: The prototype I designed in one hour in my barn turned out to be 100 time better than the prototype Davidson Design did for me in 3 years, mine was made for FREE, and Davidson charged me $8000. I am about to file a lawsuit to get my money back, because it looks like that is my only resolve.
Desired outcome: Pending Major Lawsuit
Hi Donald,
Wow ! is this what this company is about. It is a shame and sad.
I thought Mr Davison was a man with integrity because of his story. It seems he has sold his integrity for money.
I paid some years ago £700 for my invention but did not follow through. I am now looking to go ahead and said let me see some reviews. Wow !
Congratulations Donald for taking the initiative to do it yourself and even do a better job.
It looks like the only person who can look out for yourself is you. This is a good lesson for us inventors to learn every step of the process ourselves.
Donald write an article on how you brought your invention to life. It will help all of us. We may even establish a forum or group to sincerely help each other and not be like the blood sucking vampires stealing inventors ideas.
