Where do I go for invention help?
If you lack the means to pursue your invention ideas on your own, working with an inventor service company may be a good option. However, do your homework before entering into an agreement with an inventor service firm – ask them questions, read all documents carefully and make sure you have a clear understanding of the services they will be providing. Make sure that you are working with a reputable invention help company like InventHelp, "The Invent Help People" (1-800-INVENTION).

Guidelines for Working with Invention Promotion Firms. Inventors who are considering working with an invention promotion company should question a company representative before making a commitment. Make sure you understand clearly the invention services the company will perform for you, as well as the amount of risk involved. Reputable inventor service providers offer the answers to these questions in a straightforward manner. InventHelp prides itself on providing a clear-cut understanding of the services it offers to all of its customers.

Should I use an invention services company like "The Invent Help People"? If you are an inventor who's not sure where to begin, working with an inventor service company could be a good option because there is a clear set of services to be performed, a finite cost to the service and a specific term of contract. Types of invention services companies may offer include patent referral services or attempting to submit your new inventions to companies that might be interested in reviewing it. Any inventor service company you explore should provide you with an explanation of its services and fees right up front. An honest company will also be forthright about the chances for success – which you already know are very slim! InventHelp prides itself on being up-front with clients; "honesty in all we do" is one of the company's core values.

Why would an inventor choose to work with an invention services company? For the same reasons consumers buy any service: convenience and cost. For example, in order to purchase invention help services comparable to those offered by InventHelp (1-800-INVENTION), an individual would have to: obtain general information and conduct basic research, hire an illustrator, write text for materials and have them printed, pay for mailings, develop a data base of companies to which ideas could be submitted, develop a list of publications, create a press release for the media and employ a patent attorney. These services purchased individually by an inventor acting alone could cost more than InventHelp's fees. In fact, many inventors could pay more for the services of a patent attorney alone than for our invention services.

What are the benefits of working with an inventor service firm? Working with a reputable company like "The Invent Help People" can give inventors the opportunity to try and submit their new invention ideas to industry in the hope of gaining a good faith review. It can be a good introduction to the world of pursuing your new product idea. At the end of your contract you may decide to stop pursuing your idea – or keep going. But hopefully you've learned enough to make an informed decision.
