Davison Inventions (www.InventionConcept.com) is a company that claims to take people’s ideas of new inventions, and turn them into reality. Davison says that it will take your idea through all the steps necessary to get your invention onto the market, from research and development to licensing to getting it onto the shelves.
Davison’s website claims that you have the ability to submit your idea to them knowing that you have full confidentiality and protection. Once your idea is submitted, you will receive a one on one consultation about the viability of your idea, and whether or not you should begin the process to take your idea further.
Davison claims to have a variety of agreements available for potential clients. Some services they offer will require you to pay one time, up front fees, while others will require you to commit to an agreement where Davison receives a percentage of royalties from your invention.
From Dream to Reality
“Build a better mousetrap, and the world will beat a path to your door.” From the time that man created fire, there has been an innate desire to come up with better ways of doing things. If you take a minute to look around you, at the things we take for granted every day, you’ll see the evidence of people’s invention dreams that came to life.
But, unlike the picture painted in Hollywood films, most of these inventions weren’t created in someone’s basement and then magically appeared on the market. Inventions must go through an intense process of research and development – is it truly an original invention? Is there someone else out there with a comparable idea or existing product? Is this invention already in the works?
At times an idea must be patented, which can be an expensive and complicated process. After that, an invention must often be licensed to another company or corporation to produce and distribute, because individuals usually lack the money necessary to fund the actual supply of product needed for the market.
Davison Inventions claims to help you through this long, arduous process, and to get your invention on the shelves of major retailers like Target, WalMart, Home Depot, and others.
Davison Inventions Success Stories?
Well, the truth is that when you research Davison Inventions, you are going to hear much more about heartbreak and failure than you will about success stories. In fact, Davison was ordered to pay $26 million in restitution to former clients after they were sued by the Federal Trade Commission and lost.
The lawsuit determined that clients of Davison would often pay upwards of $10,000 toward costs and services, and that less than 1% of their clients ever saw a return higher than what they invested with Davison.
In addition, they were told to stop promoting themselves as being linked to major retailers. However, if you look at their current website it seems fairly obvious that they are walking a fine line in adhering to this court order.
Their landing page is covered in logos from major retailers, with information offering that inventions processed through Davison are sold at all of these stores. While there is no official statement saying they have a relationship with these companies, the implication is still there.
Finally, the lawsuit ordered that Davison refrain from acting as though their services are selective, since they were found to take anyone’s idea through the research and development process as long as they paid the fees. This is a bad sign for those looking to process an invention, because it means that you can’t trust Davison’s evaluation of your invention’s potential. If they are simply willing to take everyone’s money who comes to them, it’s easy to see how 99+% of their customers never saw a profit from their dealings with Davison.

I’m out off over 12k on my hard earn money, my saving over the years. Just like everyone, submitted my ideas, waiting for RND to get back for my Phototypes sample...paying them every steps of the ways. Came to the point of review my sample forever. Never complete, more money only a BS Drawing and my original photo. I demand to go to them for review the sample. But they struggle to give the time. This only try to get me pay off the balance of what the contract said. I told them if I don’t see my sample, I then will give it up and hang up my call. They then keep calling me back and applozize for the delay with many excuses. They then told me Mr. Grogre Davison personally get involved with my projust and order the sample to be done in 30 days. Sound good, I paid off the balance. Spend my own time, money to flew out to Pennsylvania . They gave my the Inventionland facility tour. Everything just like Disneyland, Fancy display and High-end offices. Now I know what they do with my money. The samples didn’t come out as what I expect it to be. They also told me they had a major company Actually like my idea and want to license it. They will do the persentation to them and will let me know. I ask to be in the meeting once the time is ready, but they refused. I’m currently waiting for the results. But everything now is downhills. Every time I call and they told be is nothing have change, still waiting. Keep I though every 4 weeks.
I’m wondering what if we all get together and files a class action Lawsuit again this scammer company ? Don’t we all have enough evidence email, documents etc for this ?
