Davison Design & Development
Reviews and Complaints

Davison and I had an open line of communication until they received north of $12, 000 after that I'd have to leave countless messages. Ted Morse Sr was the director for my project but he was never available. Jeffery Sawyer the executive Vice President took over the project he wasn't much better. He eventually passed us on to Barbara Browning who referred us to Matt Alwine. Bottom line they never made the prototype they sent my homemade video to the Corporation. The corporation told them that it was not protectable from a patent standpoint and they were concerned about the safety of it. And the product appeared to be in early stages of development and would take a significant amount of time to get it to the market. I had to call the corporation to get this information Davison would not elaborate on the corporation decision to decline my product. They only told me the targeted company is not interested at this time. They never mentioned the fact that they didn't send a prototype which in my belief they never produced. I called Davison to ask a rhetorical question (why did you say the corporation decline my project)then told them the answer and they were mad. They then ask me did the corporation tell me that cause if so that was a breach in contract and they could never do business with them again .

I gave a total of 12, 000 dollars to these scam artists. Told the manufacturer was Teezed. Got the runaround for two years. I finally asked for my product which was cheaply made. These are proclaimed professionals, with Pixar computer graphic design for packaging. Once I requested my product, I never got anymore communication. Completely ignored. Vicky was my contact who sounded completely uneducated and sleepy. Please count me in on this lawsuit. I was a single mom who gave my savings! [protected]@gmail. com

Been paying this company for 4 years over 29 thousand dollars and now they need $4, 000.00 more for packaging and It just recently came to my attention that my product is being sold already after 4 years of this company telling me it's too soon to patent my product, I wanna know who's selling my invention and who made it 😠I have kept records of pymnt.s

I started my invention idea back in August 2016, the amount they gave me was I have to pay $15015 to have my idea invented. It is Junr 2019 now almost 3 years and they still have not created yet. They said they are waiting approval from the pattern department. I need my money back I've worked so hard for my money and don't give a damn about it. Can someone help me!?

My name is krystal chisholm I am too a victim of patent fraud with david davidson I lost 700 bucks... Could never get someone to answer my calls... When I did they always wanted more money. Be smart do ur research! I'm not happy with the loss and I sure hope to see justice asap... Will I ever be able to get tht money back or with I just have to take it as a loss?

I started researching this company before starting to work with them. The person I spoke with and had been working with is no longer with the company. That representative explained things to me and sent me the agreement so I can look over it. I began sending money to pay the development fee to get my business idea and business off the ground. Now that all the money towards the fee has been paid and I'm ready to move forward, the new individuals is impossible to work with. He sent me an email talking about cancelling my agreement because he kept calling me at work when I couldn't talk to him. I explained to him months prior my work and schedule. He kept ignoring my emails and when we finally talk, he brings up that I need to pay more money to move forward and rehire the company. I told him about the oral agreement I had through the prior rep and he wouldn't listen or except. Now I am out of money and back to square one.

What do I need to do to join the group for the class action lawsuit? I was taken by Davison as well, for an invention that didn't get me anywhere besides broke. I spent $795 for the research and development phase in the beginning. Then they wanted another $10000 to $12000 for the next phase for I'm not really sure what. All I know is that I was supposed to pay it all off before they made the product and all I got out of the $795 was a dvd and a packet to sign for the $10000 to $12000 and some research results that anyone could have came up with. I never signed the packet to agree on that price and I missed a couple phone appointments because I was at work, so they told me that I my account was going to be closed. Well the only reason for the phone calls was to get more money and I didn't have any to make a payment at that time. Also in the beginning, they told me that I could pay as I go and there was no time limit to pay it off. So I figured I could go at my own pace and it wouldn't be a problem. As it was, I had already paid off the $795, so I was working towards it, I just had a hard time paying the rest without a little more reassurance since the $795 didn't pay for much in my opinion. Anyway, they supposedly closed my account for no reason except for false information that they gave me. I demanded a refund and they said they weren't giving out refunds. But since I never signed the agreement, they should have refunded me without any problem. Therefore, i would definitely like to get my money back one way or another, so I will do whatever I need to to become a part of the class action group. Please let me know what I need to do to make that happen. Thank you.

My name is Les Molina, and I have been scammed by Davison. They are very pushy people, they lie, they tell you what you want to hear, till they get your money.in my case, they told me that I had a very good Idea and that they wanted to work with me. They said that they have great contacts with big companies and that they would present my invention to the Clorox Company. I said to them why the Clorox Company, they deal with Chemicals, my invention is a tool for washing windows. I told them that I would rather approach a company like "Johnson and Johnson" because they own the Windex Brand. Johnson & Johnson and or Windex would be the route to go with for my invention and or to target as a prospect company to buy my invention, not the Clorox Corporation. Any how they keep saying that there was a problem with my idea, but they could never tell me what the problem was. We got as far as the rendering stag as they would put it. And when they sent me a rendering (picture) of my idea, I was literally sick to my stomach. I called my point of contact there at Davison, and I yelled at him, I said this doesn't even look like my idea, it couldn't even do what my idea was capable of. I told them to F — k Off and I never answered a phone call from them for a long time. They keep calling and calling leaving me messages after messages. After several years went by I got a call from someone at Davison saying that my point of contact was out on sick leave and he took over all of that persons clients and he wanted to continue working with me to get my product to market, but they needed to finish collecting money from me, they wanted a another $5, 000 dollars. I had already given them $7900 in the beginning and was not going to give them another penny. The new person that was calling me kept pushing and pushing me to finish what they started. But this person could not find the original contract that was drafted up and signed by my first contact. I still have that original contract I never signed it or even sent it back to them. I told them that we agreed on $7, 900 and that's what I sent them. I would like to be part of a Class Action Lawsuit against them. I don't know how to go about that.

I have paid Davison over $16, 000 on my product. what I recieved was t a piece of junk they developed. That took 2 years to make. at first I recieved a call weekly then every two weeks telling me how excited they were about my product. they really sound legit! I get a call every other Month saying "the company is still reviewing the product". Davison is truely a rip off!

Very unprofessional! Because I did not return messages in a timely fashion due to personal matters going on the Director of Research and Development, Sean Jones, began leaving aggressive messages on my answering machine at my home calling me unprofessional and inconsiderate. When I tried to call him back to give him my take on his message the voicemail stated that the voicemail has not been setup yet to receive messages for the company. I followed up on the email that he had also sent advising him that I did not appreciate him leaving such a message for my entire family to hear. Instead of being apologetic Sean Jones doubled down on his message and aggressiveness. I advised him that I did not wish to do business with his company and advised him not to contact me any further yet he continued to email me and sling insults that I was unprofessional. This is a company that wanted my business in order to promote my invention. I definitely dodged that bullet by not doing business with such a company with such unprofessional practices.

This company does not help you only try just take your money they don't return phone calls and they practically ignore you after they've already taking your money. I would not recommend this company to anybody. I'm surprise are still even business, yes they do have some successful stories but majority of the stories are to be horror stories while probably 20% will be very good successful stories I would definitely research as company bofore submitting anything or giving them any money! Buyer beware!

First he charges you $889.00 to have a sucuerity agrement. Than gives you a option a. B . c. D to choose from after you do the safty agreement he trys to suprise you in person i just passed him he did not even bather to say hello i live in new mexico and he went out his way to just pass me he will fallow you and have you (GANG STALKED) look it up""He is using. A greater idea to steall poor peaples ideas . some guy named john kallachck will send you to the leagal deparment ... He acks like he is a good man butt he will set you up for the worst he likes to turn things around to make hime look good. Sorry mr davison you treated me like [censored] and i realy liked" you.

I submitted my invention to Davison design and inventions I was told it would cost me over $20, 000 to get my idea up and running or Davison would take my idea and Market at made a copy of The Proposal agreement on November 7th 2018 I was told that each process would cost me a fee they would take installments on payments if I didn't hurry up and pay the amount asked my idea would be tooken by the company and marketed so I would need to hurry up and get the funds available to Davison

This company uses big words to discribe nothing I did all of my own manufacturing gave them the proto types paid almost $6000 and all I received in return was a paid photo and a 3 line discripyion of my product which they sent to one company When I asked what was next they told me that that was all that was included in the $6000 now if I wanted to move forward it would cost me $300 for every presentation and what a lame presentation my produst never left Davison all they do for presentations is sent this horrible photo with a 3 line synopsese of what your product does then they wait for the company to jump all over it or not What a joke This is a perfect example of the gravy train. I have a blog from an x empolyee dated thsi year who stated that he was directed to get the money and run He since quit as he said he could not take peoples money knowing they would get nothing in return. As far as im concerned I will be reprting themto the attorney General to be investigated

I spent $8, 000 with Matt Alwine for a case that is faulty because it has no protective cheap flaps to hold the expensive camera parts in so they won't fall out and break.

I asked Matt Alwine to add these via three voice mails once I saw the problem. Matt never responded.

I see almost two thousand complaints against this company in clufigbtwo class action lawsuits and 55 solved bbb complaints so I would like to take action to have my $8, 000 returned minus maybe $200 max for one case received and three years of stress and frustration to this 74 heart attack patient with Afin with heart flutter and high blood pressure.

What do you suggest please? Thanks

It's embarrassing to say that I paid nearly 7K because I did not check this so called "company" out. The first few weeks I was contacted regularly, then nothing (Garry, whom I had been in touch with quit), after that - weeks of nothing. I recognized red flags from the start (here's an example a few weeks in): I was initially very excited about my idea (& still think it's a good one) so, being retired, I mentioned to Garry that I might just head out there to see just how great things were going with my idea. I heard what I interpreted as panic in his voice - "Oh, don't do that, call and let me know at least two weeks in advance, then I can set up a tour and all for you" (maybe not verbatim, but close enough). After eight months of nothing but occasional calls (and my calling them), I realized nothing was going to happen - Then I get a call from Anthony Issacson (who took over)... he ho-hummed about well its "going to packaging" well, no "going to design" then, Well, I'll call you once a month". What happened to "working with the design team, my approval for everything"? Not one phone call from anyone but these salesmen? I asked for my money back (I also dug deeper and realized what I had gotten myself involved with). I was then contacted by David Graham who stated "Someone dropped the ball" and he would "take over". Of course, that didn't happen, and I insisted I get my money back. For two weeks no one would return my calls - then "lo and behold" they call and have "something" (a ridiculous CAD drawing/version) of my idea. I continued to insist on getting my money back and was told by Anthony Isaacson that he would check in to it. Well, of course, the answer came back "no" because it "had "gone to design"! This company will promise you the moon, you will be in charge of everything; nothing will get done without your approval; we have the best engineers; we will try companies until someone accepts your idea! If I had accepted their "version" of my idea I have no doubt it would have been rejected! I would have rejected it! As I told them, I could have gone to a second-hand store and put together what you did. Then, it would have cost me more money to try a different company and then more to try a different company (Yep, it costs you more! ... by the way, I was supposed to still pay $4500+ more). Please, this is nothing but a scam! I have filed a complaint with the FTC (who sued them before) and was told basically whatever you do DO NOT give them any more money! (I am also searching into others I can contact). Why did I do this in the first place? Because I watched The Steve Harvey Show and thought it might be a great idea and I have a family member who is ill and had hope's of perhaps bringing in a small amount of money to help. Could I afford this - no. Is that my fault - yes. They send videos of just how wonderful things will be for you, how hard they will work...it doesn't happen! Look, the evidence is out there! 1% gets there? I would not trust them to follow through on anything (yes, after all this Anthony said, "we'll redesign")? Folks, I genuinely question their ethics and integrity. If you think you have a good idea take your money elsewhere! Davison records all of their phone calls and I would be happy to sign a release so that anyone could listen to these conversations and see what takes place - not to mention the experience and sad results of others. Do your homework! I could state what has happened to others, but it's out there for you to read.
Their company is all glitz and glamour, but think hard about exactly what supports this company and where the profits come from. I will continue to write to whomever and whatever sites I can to see that this is brought to people's attention.

They took $695 from me in the beginning and then ask for $5000 about three weeks later they wanted $5000 from me w/n 7 days. I told them to send all my papers back to me and they never did. I was in that first class action and all I got back was $60.40 . The settlement was about 9M in cash and 3.1M in property. The FTC did not work on behalf of those harmed but the attorneys got a large portion of the cash money but the property money has not been sold and the FTC has not notified anyone regarding the $3.1Mhave. So if you have been have been harmed get your own aattorney, that way you have a better chance of getting more back.

I had an "Idea" for an invention, so I contacted Davison about my invention. The person that I spoke with said that all I needed to do was pay $1, 000 to get my "Idea" started. He said once I pay, they would take my car rims idea and sell it to different companies. I was like COOL! I paid the $1, 000. All of a sudden, the person I was talking to was let go, and now I have to pay around $6, 000-$10, 000, depending on the percentage they would make. I really wished I knew that from the beginning! If you have around $15, 000 for an idea, call Davison and lose your money! I wonder what if I paid the extra fee, would there be another fee?

I payed $5500, sent my design and received an a4 colour drawing with cd. Interestingly enough their drawing contained less information than mine. They supposedly presented this to a manufacturer, but no evidence of that surfaced after asking for it.I was told i payed $5500 for the drawing and nothing else can be done for me.numerous follow up emails received no response to date

I paid Davison Design and Development close to $11, 000.00 to develop me an Urn
and they sent me a picture of the product and they also told me that American Greeting company was interested in selling my product. After two years of paying Davison they decided not to sell my product so I know they never intended to sell my product. They scammed me just like they did the other people. I was wondering if someone could help me get some of my money back. If there is a lawsuit I would like my name to be joined in with the rest of the people they scammed. The date was close to three years ago. Their number is 800-544-3327. I have tried calling myself and emailing and they just email me back saying they are still trying to find a company willing to sell them. That was not the agreement we had. I would like if not all at least over half of it back. This was something they (Davison) really had me thinking that American Greeting Company was really interested in the product.
