Not only does the company infringe on people's hope it also makes false allegations of its success rate, and the companies they have in their data base. For instance, they sent me a letter stating that "Keenest Enterprise and Tropical Science" have showed intrest in my invention. When I conducted my own research, I discovered that the companies where non-existant.
To my amaze, I'm not the only one that has been defrauded. The Federal Trade Commission has over 100 pages of complaints against this company. When I signed up with the company, it was not disclosed to me that a litigation was brought against them in 1993 and 1994.
When I voiced my concerns to the company representative about my research, they sent me a letter stating that they will give me $1,000 dollars, basically to keep me quite. The amount they offered me is a joke compared to what I paid them, $13,000 aprox. I want my full amount and I will not stop pursing them until I have the complete amount in my hands.

I am being told limitation of time, i can't do anything about it, but my feelings are DISCOVERY OF FRAUD I do know my idea was taken from me, just like all the other stories and complaints listed on ripoff.
It is difficult to understand that these invention companies are still in business! (((ROR redacted))) please contact me if you or anyone found the right person to help.
I need an attorney and they won't even look or listen to my story, immediately told NO, time ran out. what about DISCOVERY OF FRAUD LAW?

The lawyer that was reviewing my case decided not to take my case because Pittsburg, PA(headquarters), laws are different from California, Burbank,(where contract was signed).
Thanks so much for all your support and responses to my reports and plea for full refund.

Do not let them bully you into a partial refund. They tried the excuse that "it's been 10 years" with me-as well as a gag order. I want the full refund as required by the FTC-94 ruling. This is the minimum I will accept to even think about not talking about this scam. I have the list of alleged "companies" from their highly touted "databank" that had NOTHING to do with what I was trying to market-much less that I needed foreign patents and was told I didn't-a violation of FTC-94.
I don't care how long it's been. All this scam information and rulings have not been available for 10 years so who cares. I, myself, didn't get internet access until 1999 and was a real rookie then as to how to search and access information. I am quite a bit better now and they will pay-either me by way of a full refund or in loss of revenue which I know has already exceeded what they could/should have refunded me.
Keep us updated. We must keep these slugs in the public eye to save others from the same fate.
sorry, allowing you to give a competitors name would instigate others to just file against their competition, to only come back later to suggest their company your comments on this policy are welcome!
