I am not victim of this company. A friend of mine is (Bob). He entered into a contract w/ IP&R in 11/06. He too was promised very similar services (professional), and had the same problems as the rest of you. They ended up getting him for around $24 thousand. Much of which he took out of his annuity.

This company or the people in it has profited on your hard earned money. It is not only the money, but your hope for success. I am sure this has affected all of you w/ your finances, emotions, way of thinking about this world etc.

This company has relied on you (the small people) to back down. Well lets try a little. I have been doing a little research. Check out the FTC website (Federal Trade Commission). Bob and I have made a report there.
Make sure to do that as well, be sure to include all 3 of this companies names.

See the FTC went through this with a company called IPD in 2007. This company promised very similar services to 17,000 consumers (inventors) totaling around $60 million in fees with a 0% success rate for they inventors.
I did not research they outcome of the charges, but at least we know the FTC frowns at this type of "buisness".

So while you are on this website (FTC & ripoff) make sure to look up that company (IPD).

Upon doing different searches I looked up marketing fraud. This search brought up a couple interesting sites.
FBI website where you can also file a complaint.... and should And a site nationalinventorfraudcenter or NIFC. This site was very helpful.

This site gives general advice on getting your money back. Make sure and check it out.It also will give you a list of invenor clubs across the U.S which is where you join with other inventors to learn the know on patents and inventions.

So the NIFC says that you should make a report w/ your attorney general. I think it would be wise to do that w/ californias attorney general as well.

So with Bobs complaint on IP&R I think that brings the total reports on this site to 12. Think of how many people may not have a computer or know about this site. How many people has this company done this to?

We need to stop thinking of it as my experience and think of it as our experience w/ these twisted people.

I am confident that with technology our story could be heard. Think about the time it took you to make that money or better yet the time it will take you to make that money again.

Go to media websites. If they have a story box put ours in.Do not make it seem as if it is just you that has been taken advantage of, use they other report #s on ripoff as levrage as well.

RETRACTION OF PREVIOUS POSTS

AUTHOR: Peter - (United States of America)

POSTED: Thursday, March 08, 2012

Although AbsolutelyNew disagreed with my earlier posts; we were able to work out our differences. I am now satisfied with AbsolutelyNew's resolution of my invention project so that I would retract my earlier posts if this site allowed me to do so.

Absolutely New Inc. Scammed us as well - We are contacting the Secretary of State and Attorney General

AUTHOR: Peter - (United States of America)

POSTED: Tuesday, August 16, 2011

We are requesting a full refund of our contract "fees". This request is based on the fact that Absolutely New has breached our contract. Specifically, Absolutely New has failed to comply with our agreement with regard to the following sections of our contract: 1) Absolutely New breached our contract according to the Marketing Agreement signed and dated November 30, 2010. Section 3 (sub-section 3.2 titled Installment Terms) is an agreement that requires my partner and I to execute a separate agreement allowing ANI to automatically withdraw the payment on the specified due date from a credit card or checking account over which the client has control ANI did not offer or require us to sign a separate agreement to pay our fees. 2) "Schedule 1 - Services" (Item #4): We were not given a virtual model within 45 days. We have not been given a virtual model as of the end of the contract. Not making the model available, as part of the package that was sent to the potential acquirers was seriously detrimental to the success of acquiring a licensing agreement. This is a direct material breach of contract. Our concept sheet was not completed until mid February 2011 this is a breach of the contract limitations. Our assigned Product Manager Christina Lett left the employment of Absolutely New, and delayed the final concept sheet. While Christina was our lead contact she ignored several calls, messages, and requests. In addition, Absolutely New made errors by disregarding changes to the concept sheet that we put in writing. ANI simply overlooked our editing changes; this further delayed the project. Serena Soo took over as our lead contact. We asked her to make changes to the concept sheet and we received resistance. We brought this to the attention of ANIs legal counsel, and we were given an emphatic apology for their oversight and mistakes. 3) "Schedule 1 - Services" (Item #5, #6, #7): In this schedule it states, "...ANI shall perform the following Marketing Tasks beginning forty five (45) days after the Effective Date... We were told several times by Absolutely New that they would be attending "...several trade shows on our behalf... and would specifically represent our invention at these shows. As of this day, we have received no written reports that confirm our invention was represented at ANY trade show. The only confirmation that Absolutely New has attended any trade show on our behalf are verbal comments from Absolutely New staff stating they represented our product at one trade show; the "PGA trade show". We explained to ANI during several phone conversations, and in face-to-face meetings that the "PGA" trade show was not an appropriate venue for our invention. ANI agreed, and said that they would be attending several other trade shows on our behalf, however this has not occurred. In your email today you cited two additional breaches that we did not note in previous emails. The first quarterly report we received was in May - this delivery was untimely, and is a breach of our contract. At your own admission, we have not received the second quarterly report as of the drafting of this email. This is an additional breach of contract. Our contract ended June 1, 2011, therefore; ANI breached our contract by not supplying our report.
