Scam
I need help with trying to get some of my money back from Davison Inventions. I paid over $10, 000 for a urn and every time I called them they said we are trying to find someone to sell them. But when they were calling me asking for thousands of dollars they told me they had a buyer which was American Greetings. Once I made the last payment of $2900.00 I haven't heard from them and every time I called they tell me they are still trying to find to sell my invention. I need help trying to get half of my money back.
Our design of non slip toilet seat
I Edward White, made an agreement with Davison Design & Development as I thought to get me and my Sons design with a manufacturer once the portfolio was submitted, I paid the required deposit of $198.75 (£151.59) over the phone by card. when we read through the agreement it did not show what we were led to believe in the phone conversation previously, it seems things were not clear with the Queens English and American English.
My son advised that we should cancel the agreement which I Edward White had electronically signed, but we also had the right to cancel within three (3) business/working days which we did by e-mail to Mr Jack Burley who we had been talking to via Telephone. The agreement was signed on the 11th November 2017 then cancelled on the 13th November, which was a Sunday, as the Saturday and Sunday were weekend days, Monday the 14th was in affect the third working day well within the cancellation window that Mr Jack Burley had received.
I have since been in contact with my bank to recover this deposit which they did temporarily until Davison agreed to refund the amount said, my bank received a notice from a Mr David M. DeMay Associate Counsel acting for Davison Design & Development, stating that we were out of time so therefore forfeit out deposit which nonsense, please can someone advise us what to do, I am a pensioner and my son is disabled, so we do not have money to throw away like this, and we do not wish to be scammed.
Yours sincerely
Edward and Benjamin White
Headphones that I paid them to make
My name is John Little Sr
I found Davison via Google back in 2013. I left a message and was contacted by Ashley Bear. Long story story short...I finally came into some money and decided to go with my idea in 2016. After paying almost 17.000.00 in cash... all I have to show for my investment and dreams are broken promises and a few pictures of what is supposed to be my headphones. The last time I heard from them was to ask for more money to continue marketing the garbage that they made.
Somehow during trying to get some satisfaction and help from them, I came across another article about Davison being sued and settling for practices that they have continued to practice. I am a didabled individual who does not have any money or resources to fight Davison on my own. If there is anyone out there who can help please reach out to me as soon as possible.

Product design and development
Davison is a rip off I paid 895.00 altogether getting nothing in return, they never told me the success rate of getting my product to market or how much it was going to cost me. I am on fixed income and I wanted to better myself I really could not afford the monies I have already sent. It is shame the way they are taking advantage of the poor to get rich. I want my monies refunded and will starting a lawsuit against Davison.
Getting charged money, for presentations when patent has expired.
They waisted my time, stole my money and stole my dream . From 2008 till 2013 -14, , Davison seid i need to pay for these different presentations the company's they would appouch and each presentation $395, me not knowing that the patent was expired for years until some told me that companies well never show any i interest a product with an expired Patten and there unlawfully taking your money.
The quick hose/ my idea
I spoke with
Mike Hyre a employee of Davison, starting in the end of 2014 or first of 2015. I have emails, and contracts.
Mr. Hyre told me that they could build my submitted idea. I gave him the specific measurements, I also explained to him how I came into my own idea. Mr. Hyre assured me their world class engineers could accomplish exactly what I had in mind. I asked, Mr. Hyre if they needed anything clarified, I would be more than happy to clarify any questions. He proceeded to take down my measurements, and specific information that would make my invention a success. We spoke often, I offered to help with clear understanding each time we spoke, because, this is an important project to me.
I paid the Davison invention company, over 8000.00 dollars, they sent me a prototype that has nothing to do with not one of my ideas I discussed with them, I paid this company to work on my behalf, but they in turn wanted me to build a prototype, and send it, and my drawings as well... Now why would I pay their world-class engineers, then do the work, that I was assured they could do.
The contract was not fulfilled, they met non of my ideal requirements that would make my invention a success. I am the client, but they built what they wanted to, put my name on it, and wanted me to sign off on it. I will not steal who ever design they sent for my viewing.
I know my invention was cost effective, and easy to use, I built it using materials from a hardware store. Their lies are, they used their materials, and built what would help get me a licensing agreement. I did not introduce the idea they presented me with, I will not sign anything saying it is my idea, and as the client, I was promised in my contract that MY, idea would be presented as a prototype.
Davison has failed another client, and I want every Penny they recieved from me back, because Davison lied, and did not fulfill the contract, and after viewing their prototype, I have no confidence in their ability to build my invention, and they are not a trustworthy company.
Product design not done and no sample was provided and paid 10k for work which was not done
I contacted Davison in 2016 to get an idea to market. Their charges were 10K for design and sample of the prototype I was requesting. Their sales pitch was to gather all the details of the product I was requesting and they made a few presentations showing a low end-non efficient product which was a sales pitch to manufacturers which was not accepted. I then asked them for the prototype of the item they were designing, nothing has happened since and I would like to open a complaint to ensure they don't do this to other consumers. I need your help please contact me at [protected]@yahoo.com
Samsung thing happened to us we need to put this to an end!
inventions scam
In 2014 I thought of a phone case idea, called the number of the business contacting a guy who was supposed to be the vice president Chadd Murray. We talked about the idea for several weeks before I decided to get a contract & proceeded. I gave him $3500.00 to get it started, the remainder after he quote, unquote started getting propositions. Could someone please help my situation.
davison inventions
I plan to do a documentary about the true shady practices of not just Davison Inventions but others as well. Davison I have a detail and audiovisual proof. I was contacted by them in 2013 and passed on them. They reached out to me in 2015 asking me to invest in my great idea. And it still is a valuable tool ripe for today's world. Beforehand I had done 3D diagrams based on parts I found available in America. Working with people that I can trust is important and I tried trusting Davison Invention. That trust sent me on a trail through Inventionland where I've yet to met the man behind the curtain of Davison Inventions. But I was stood up after being blown off the day before, after repeated failures of media mailings. The tracking numbers given went somewhere else. The call to try and meet once again in order to sign off for pitch once again became a heartbreaking disappointment as I sat waiting in a public bar holding back tears. The emotional impact of our deal and the dynamics of what has been taken from me should be on record and reasoning for an oversight of Invention Help companies. #Digimykey is a device, App and mini links for emergency. It's very detailed and laid out. I was told time and time again since mid 2016 that the documents are ready but now I'm told that there are no such documents, there were no meeting set-up, there's nothing more than their contracts.. oh and the person I was dealing with for the past few years is no longer working there. Of course this is found out by myself due to the vanishing of our Chicago engagement. So tell me how does one not feel they are trapped behind the wall looking in while our ideas are being stripped? I am ready to lead the charge to make them work for us instead of jerking us around.
a book I sent.
I sent Jason Flueharty a book in good faith, he told me I had no worries and would receive the book back. The book was about a invention idea he was helping me with. I decided not to go through with the idea and have not made a commitment to Jason. I have ask for the book back many times and have already paid for the shipping. For this book of my idea from Inventionhelp cost me around 1200.00 dollars to be made.
All I ask is please send the book back.
Thanks, Louis Robinson

Invention Company
They took me for 700 dollars for a supposed patent search. They sent it to me and I had a lawyer look it over and he said it was worthless. Then they wanted 5000.00 more to continue. I told them to take a hike. The Representative "Ralph" Sets up a time to call and talk to you Then calls you hour or too later. He never really tells you anything but insists that he can help. What he meant was he could help relieve you of your money.
locking refrigerator
Davison swindled me out of 7500.00 dollars lied to me the whole time they never even tried to develop my project they just took my money and when I got to 60 percent of 12, 000 dollars they showed me what they had all I could do is cry a three year old could have come up with there concept it was nothing like what I envisioned or what I drew up for them I need help I need to join a class action law suit against Davison please I have all my paperwork and my drawings that used to express my ideas they stole my money they switched Rep's on me mid stream the first Rep told me they could absolutely develop my idea then next Rep after I paid 7, 500 told that's not what they do wow!

inventor's scam
I wish I had checked this site before signing Contract with Davison, I might never have had to deal with Crooks. by Jan 2016, I had signed my Contract, and sent some$7, 000 PLUS, to this Corp, thinking, obviously like everyone else, that the Volume they deal with would be a sure sign of Professionalism. they sent me a Welcome Letter, and a DVD, to Date, nothing else has been forthcoming. I suppose it's now time to seek Legal help.

We understand that customer service is vital in all businesses and is imperative when operating a successful business. Customer concerns upset everyone and the staff works very hard to troubleshoot them so communication errors are kept to a minimum. Unfortunately, a breakdown in communication is precisely what occurred. Specifically, the representative assigned to work with you had ended their employment and the project was not re-assigned. The project has now been assigned to an Executive Vice President who will be in contact with you promptly. Davison extends its apology for this breakdown.
The following brief summary of events is provided as a full disclosure of events and is not intended as an attempt to excuse the lack of communication. You contacted Davison by submitting an idea for a new product. You entered the initial pre-development agreement and those services were performed. You completed a questionnaire about these initial services, providing positive feedback. Subsequently, you entered an agreement for the creation of an integrated product rendering to depict your new idea. On 03/18/2016, you informed Davison that you would be unavailable through the end of April 2016; as such no calls were scheduled for that time period. The representative assigned to the project ended her employment and the project was not re-assigned. Prior to receiving the current complaint, there has been no communication either to you or from you. As stated, Davison extends its apology for its part in the breakdown of communication.

Davison is a scam. DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY.
"The owners of an invention promotion operation have agreed to pay $10 million in consumer redress to settle Federal Trade Commission charges that they deceived consumers across the country. The settlement includes a cash payment of $6.9 million, plus other property valued at $3.1 million."
This was a lawsuit settled in 2008. They also had a sister company called "New Show Studios" who ripped creative writers off as well. Chadd Murray is a thief and a liar who should be thrown in jail. They are ruining the American dream and peoples lives and should be shut down.

feeling scamed
Hi i went with Davidson's to invent a car seat, i felt everything was going OK, they wee very polite and helpful, and put me at ease, so I went with this company I paid in over £6000.00 to have my idea brought to life, a year has gone past and not heard anything for age's, so tried to contact them by phone and email and still nothing no response, im now starting to feel very conserend, as to why they have not gotten back to me, the lady who was to take my idea was called Barbra, i did get 1phone call saying they presented to a company named elf Juvenal, but she told me that they were rude to her and did not want to look at my idea, then she said it wasn't over but would keep in contact with me I have not heard anything since, I gave this company all savings and the least they could do was keep me informed feeling angry, any advice would be appreciated.thankyou jaciebird. PS the person who took all my information and money was a Luke zeyzus.

The services for which you contracted have been provided with your express written approval and authorization. Further, the services have met with your written satisfaction. In your post, you allege a lack of continued status reports, implying an on-going active project. That is simply not the course of action you have chosen. A request has been forwarded to Davison’s Licensing Department to contact you to discuss additional options. A brief summary is provided below in an effort to clarify your project’s status.
You initiated contact with Davison by submitting an idea for a new product. At the time of your submission, you were provided (in a printable and savable format) disclosures that detailed our services, the fees and the risks of new product development; and you electronically signed an acknowledgement stating you received and read these disclosures. You first contracted for Pre-Development services, which were completed, then contracted for the design and construction of a product sample. Davison submitted a design to you which you approved. In reliance upon your approval, the product sample, packaging, and presentation material were created. You were provided an Executive Briefing which included a photograph of the physical product sample.
You authorized the presentation and completed a questionnaire providing positive feedback. Unfortunately the corporation to whom the presentation was made did not license your product idea. At that stage two options were presented to you. The first was an “active” approach in which additional presentations would be pursued. Consistent with the disclosures and contract terms, there is a fee associated with this option. Alternatively, a “reactive” approach is offered wherein your project would be presented if and when a corporation was to approach Davison requesting a product similar to your idea. There is no fee and no on-going status updates under this reactive approach. In June 2015, you advised that you had chosen the reactive approach; accordingly there has been no status updates provided.

my design
My husband and I have already spent in the upwards of 11K on a product called the teletable... My husband created a sketch of what he envisioned the product would be like when it was presented to the target companies. Boy was he wrong... the end product was a sham.. nothing like he presented to Davison... one of the reasons it was called the Teletable... was that the table would telescope... the end product was nothing of the sort... it was a plastic insertable table into the cup holder... bulky and nothing like we envisioned. We also had NO say in the end product.. We were scammed... out of 11K... besides the scam... we were passed around like a holiday dish to all these different quote on quote project managers. We are extremely unhappy and feel completely taken advantage of. Please if someone would like to contact us about this fraud.. my email is [protected]@yahoo.com. Please put in the subject line davison fraud.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer's satisfaction.
We understand that customer service is vital in all businesses and is imperative when operating a successful business. Customer concerns upset everyone and our staff works very hard to troubleshoot them so communication errors are kept to a minimum. When a client has a reasonable complaint, Davison will, in good faith, work with the client to reach a fair resolution. This reasonableness and good faith is a two-way street. Complaint sites have their value; however they are not appropriate forums for spurious, baseless or unsubstantiated commentary. What gets posted on the internet remains forever; when baseless commentary is posted, the impact on the company is permanent. No amount of “gee I may have gone overboard” or “I guess I was mistaken” can properly undue the damage.
A review of your husband’s file indicates that Davison performed its services with his documented approval and authorization. Further, the services were completed to his documented satisfaction. While it is unfortunate that a company willing to license the idea has not been located, that does not negate the services that were provided. All services were completed by November 2015; now, a year later, you feel justified in posting your comments.
Your allegations about the design of the product sample are mischaracterizations. Davison is not a prototype manufacturer that creates a product sample based upon the client’s preconceived notions. Davison is a design and development firm whose goal is to create a product sample that is a cost-effective solution to the problem identified by the client. The contracts repeatedly state that the design process may result in substantial changes to the idea as submitted by the client. A proposed design was submitted to your husband to review. He not only approved the design, he completed a questionnaire providing positive feedback. Based on his approval, the physical sample was constructed. Your husband was provided an Executive Briefing which included a photograph of the physical sample. He authorized the presentation of the product sample and he completed another questionnaire giving positive feedback. To assert that Davison developed the product sample without any involvement from your husband is baseless.
For over 25 years, Davison has helped everyday people prepare and present their ideas to corporations, manufacturers, and retailers to see if they would be willing to license the product ideas. Our exclusive idea to product method is responsible for more products on the store shelves than any other competitor in this industry.

Well at least your product you had input on, they took my Idea to the next level and produced it, sold it to a Redmond Company or sub company of their own, produced it and marketed it since 2006 and when contacted in 2015 never replied and, E-mailed me just today, [protected] and made 1 call cancelled this morning, No Royalties not even a thank you, or by the way here is 5 cents on the dollar of everyone sold, so we will see when the Intellectual Property theft is sorted out, and if they actually admit they stole the whole thing as Intellectual Property claims go Slinky Weights was My Idea actually Grandfathers and we fished with them home made for years, its Now 2017 and wow Davison designs wants to talk as my new design has crossed their table to be looked at, That's a Lie...My request for royalties on the design was the E-mail they got from me Lordofthehorse@Hotmail.com RonH. Wa. So they even Steal the designs not paid for yet and run with it...We Will See Not a Happy Camper with them Either >>>>!
They Have Been Selling This Product For 10 Years Now I even Bought Some at Wall-Mart it's saddens me that a company would do this, so question why contact me now, well because if they get an Ok to move fore ward and it's not paid for then they can proceed to sell it as theirs, but this time I'll let them know I know it's still technically my property, as the go ahead and develop it was not given, and I signed no Ok to sell it to someone else either :( So Intellectual Property Theft Hmmmmm not happy with this whole thing...

invention design scam
Stay as far away from these people as possible! It is a total scam! Trust me cost me $12, 000 dollars to get nothing out of this! What they tried to design was totally nothing close to my invention idea at all! Supposedly submitted to a company to look at and was told the refused it! They then want more money to resubmit to another company! And then if that does go they want more money to submit to each company! So beware of this company unless you want to get scammed out of your money! Do your homework on this company!
Scott Herring pekin I'll 61554 legal all you want I'm not a competitor I was a client that yiu duped out of alot of money ! My concept was not even close to my original idea! In fact the drawing that you sent me looked very similar to other product that were on the market at the time so what was so original about your ideas? Very poor representation of your so call skills! I never even got too see your prototype other than a computer generated rendering that as I state was not even close to my original idea! Just hate to be scammed or let anyone else be scammed out of their money! You got me for close to 13, 000!

Your post makes two mischaracterizations which indicate that either you are not a client, or you have chosen to ignore the numerous disclosures and contract terms. First, Davison is not a prototype manufacturer that creates a product sample based upon the client’s preconceived notions. Davison is a design and development firm whose goal is to create a product sample that is a cost-effective solution to the problem identified by the client. The contracts repeatedly state that the design process may result in substantial changes to the idea as submitted by the client. Second, the disclosures and contracts are explicit about the additional service of presenting a product idea to subsequent potential licensees. This service, and its related fee, is disclosed to all individuals who submit an idea to Davison and it is disclosed before any service contract is entered or payment received.

don't get involved with davison design
I have posted here in the past but have new information
Here is the how Davison Design operate!
First it starts with our Non Disclosure Agreement that we, unsuspecting inventors submit to Davison Design. In hopes that we will make money from our inventions.
Then we start paying Davison lump sums of money because they convince us that they have a very interested marketing company who will buy our idea. And at the beginning they actually do have an investor for our idea.
We get so excited! In my case they told me I was going to be offered $1, 000, 000.00 because this marketing company has been looking for a product like mine and are very anxious to market my product.
I was going to be a MILLIONAIRE!
This is where GREED sets in with Davison Design. They underhandedly partner with this marketing company.
But we as inventors are blind to this, that is until we see our product on an infomercial a year later
Now getting back to my facts
Now Davison Design starts brainwashing us inventors.
They begin with our ideas:
1. Davison Design make changes to our inventions and in my case they changed the material that I disclosed on my Non Disclosure Agreement. The material I use is tensor bandage but Davison Design felt that neoprene fabric would be a much better material.
2. Then Davison Design will tell you that you need to change the name of your product so that it would be better to market.
So in my case I was dead set on the Name "Tummy Tuck" which was disclosed on my NDA.
Davison Design felt that "Slim Wrap" would be a more fitting name.
Then Davison Design will mail you the documents to review with the new name and the changes to our inventions ( subtle but changes)
Davison then places a marketing company's name ( Different than the initial interested party of course because the "Extremely interested company" is now working one on one with Davison wheeling and dealing.
Davison anticipates receiving our (inventors) royalties after they get us out of their hair.
Everybody reading this who has ever submitted a NDA to Davison I recommend searching all countries to see if your invention is being sold by another company. Your invention will probably have a different name and there will be subtle differences from your invention. Research the marketing company selling your invention and check for dates of when you were dealing with Davison Design and the date that the said marketing company began marketing
If you were told in the beginning by Davison Design that your idea was good chances are Davison made a private deal with the said marketing company.
In my case Jeff Tuller of Savvier Inc. was the original company who would pay me a million dollars but partnered with Davison. Jeff Tuller used my product name "Tummy Tuck"
He also uses my method of my product disclosed on my NDA. Tensor bandage material and cream to accelerate the slimming process.
Mr. Tuller was stupid enough to use my exact name Tummy Tuck and would not send his product to Canada for the first three years simply because he was told by Davison Design to make sure Tummy Tuck is not seen by me the inventor!
But I found out by one of my clients vacationing in Florida who ordered Tummy Tuck from Savvier Inc. but Savvier Inc. refused to send the product to Canada.
Red flags went up!
Thanks to my long time client and her vacation I have now filed a lawsuit against Jeff Tuller, Savvier Inc. and Savvier LLP for
MISAPPROPRIATION of TRADE SECRET
Furthermore you better make sure you have your facts straight. Sorry old boy .., ..good try but that 1999 website you have posted for Tummy tuck is not the website I'm referring to. Nice diversion though, Your post looks accurate from your perspective and you might try to portray that to the readers but I have proof that contradicts your post. 😀😀😀😀😁
Also Davison, being underhanding as they are weren't long renaming my idea/product to Slim Wrap. You know why they needed for me to change my name? Simple! They wanted to work with Jeffrey old boy, who was the " MILLIONAIRE Guy who wanted my idea to make more millions.
As for the name Tummy Tuck, that million dollar man loved that name so heaven forbid he wanted Tummy Tuck and Davison got greedy and wanted bigger cut than the measly 10% of the agreement.
I'm right and I'm going to prove it.
OK for starters you're misinforned. I dealt with Erik Tomko of Davison Design back in 2008. Before parting with anymore money to give Davison Design Erik Tomko gave me his word that by paying the total of $10, 170 is a small amount to pay since this guy has been looking for an idea like mine and he might even pay you $1, 000, 000 and buy it from you. I will swear on a Bible in a court of law that this was his exact comment. Erik Tomko also said " this guy has millions. My son heard every word of this conversation! He will also swear on a Bible in a court of law.
Back in 2008 I was a single parent running my small business. I would not have given Davison Design that kind of money if I wasn't reassured by Erik Tomko that it was a sure thing.
I'm not going to put anymore information here until I prove myself to a Judge.
Brighter Futures
While Davison understands the importance of communication and customer satisfaction, your complaint is founded on misstatements and false assumptions. From the time of an initial contact, through the research and development of a new product idea, to the presentation of a client’s idea, Davison maintains an open channel of communication, disclosing the services and fees upfront and securing the clients’ approval and authorization throughout the process. The disclosures and contracts are simply written with no “fine print” provisions. It is simply not possible to be more upfront about the fees, services and risks. Unfortunately, despite best efforts, clients are occasionally dissatisfied, particularly when their product ideas are not licensed.
Your post is false, defamatory, and unsubstantiated. Simply stated, Davison performed its services with your express written approval and authorization. The services were completed by November 2009 and were performed to your documented satisfaction. While it is unfortunate that your idea was not licensed, that result does not invalidate the services provided to you, nor does it provide a basis for your inflammatory post. There is simply no factual support for your complaint.
You contacted Davison about a new product idea in 2008. You entered into an agreement for the completion of research relevant to your product idea. This research was provided to you and comprised a collection of US patent documents and information on products which were similar to your submitted idea. Following completion of the initial service, you entered into an agreement for the design and construction of a product sample and the preparation of presentation materials. You approved the design and completed a questionnaire providing positive feedback. Based on your approval, the physical sample and presentation material were constructed. You authorized the presentation of your product idea and completed a second questionnaire in which you supplied positive feedback about the presentation material. Unfortunately, the corporation to whom your idea was presented chose not to enter a license agreement. In November 2009, Davison offered additional services for additional presentations which you declined.
Your allegation that you were promised to be made a millionaire is contradicted by the numerous documented representations provided to you in the disclosures and contracts. Before submitting your idea, you were provided with, and acknowledged having received and read, disclosures that detail the historical data on the number of clients that have received a license and the number that have made a financial gain. Further, the contracts are explicit that there is no guarantee that a particular product will be licensed or that that the client will receive any compensation, much less a financial gain. To claim you were led to believe that you would be a millionaire is simply not credible
Your allegation that your idea was stolen is blatantly false and defamatory. Your idea was submitted pursuant to a Confidentiality Agreement. Davison has abided by the terms of the agreement and no disclosure of your idea has been made without your authorization. However, your complaint highlights a common misperception – specifically that no one other than you could have thought of your product idea. The simple truth is that often multiple people conceive of the same or similar ideas independently. The purpose of the initial research service is to acquire some level of information as to the existence of similar products. In you specific case, you contacted Davison in 2008. The “tummytuck” website you reference as evidence that your idea was stolen was established in 1999. Does that mean you stole the idea from the website or simply that you were not the only person to have thought of the basic concept of your product idea? Regardless, your allegation of misconduct on Davison’s behalf is not valid.
For over 26 years, Davison has helped everyday people prepare and present their ideas to corporations, manufacturers, and retailers to see if they would be willing to license the product ideas. Our exclusive idea to product method is responsible for more products on the store shelves than any other competitor in this industry.

This is now the fifth posting you have made since 2008. You continue to allege that Davison secured a patent on your behalf. This is simply false. Davison is not a law firm and does not offer patent services or any other legal service. The only service that was provided to you was the initial pre-development research service. This service was completed to your documented satisfaction. You have not engaged any other services; accordingly Davison has not pursued your project any further.
