Advent Product Development Total Scam And Ripoff Saint Pawley Island South Carolina

In May of 2004 I contacted Advent about my invention. After paying 3000 dollars for a patent search and market report I recieved (about 3 months later) a thick binder explaining the marketability of my invention and a search result showing that my invention had not yet been patented.

It was all a lie. Even though the product was not on the market yet it had already been patented in 1996. If they told me this (which I am sure they knew) they would not have gotten anyn more money from me. Instead they played me like a violin. What a sucker I was to believe anything they told me.

Thinking that I had a winner I jumped in feet first and gave them another 8500 dollars to develop my product and help find a manufacture. Talk about throwing good money after bad. Than 3000 dollars to a patent attorny to file a 20 year utility patent.

I than recieved a call from them telling me that my relationship with them was expired and their obligation to me had been fullfiled. For my money I got a cheap pamplet and a news letter telling me they submitted my product to various entities. By all means stay away from this company. They should be in prison for mail fraud.
