Davison Inventions

 

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.

    • Also I noticed on another site.. says 133 complaints addressed,, talk about "STANDARD SCRIPT" each and every one was this below, word for word... These are all on pissedconsumer.com

  • I actually like davison
    • Let me help you out. Your product is never going in front of a corporation. One of my clients were targeted a corporation and my client did there due diligence and called the target corporation and they were not even in business. Once they have your money it's over with. Expect no refunds.
    • PLEASE SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCE, KENNETH. Not just a "I like them"

      With so many negative experiences...It would be refreshing to hear about someone who actually had (and is having) a positive one.

      even though MOST of the people on here didn't even really do business with them - they just ALMOST did and got skeered.
    • Have you had a more successful endeavor with them? I am currently in the first process with the davison company and they told me they wanted to offer my idea to a corporation . Could you please tell me about your experience with them?
    • Why im am still very optimistic about them and my idea
  • I HAVE TWO INVENTIONS WITH DAVISON AND THEY SAY NEED MORE MONEY AND THEY HAVE SOMEONE ELSE IN MIND TO SELL MY INVENTION BUT SO FAR NOTHING HAPPENED SO WHAT SHOULD I DO QUIT WHILE LOSING OUT CONFUSED THANK U STILL CONFUSED
    • A friend of mine has a pending invention at Davidson's now. He is at the final stage. Meaning over $10,000 deep, I understand the development stages, this is still a lot of money to construct a product,in the test stages. This money from what I gathered from the contract was spent to personalize his invention for the first company. Friend was recently contacted because his contract is almost up and more money is needed for another company, that in Davidson words,"we are targeting another company". More money was asked for to personalize his product for a company that may not be interested. This all is done before Davidson even looks into meeting with and finding out if the company is actually interested in looking into this type of product. The letter will state that another company is being targeted,and more money is needed to personalize to that company. Before again finding out if the company is actually interested. Davidson puts the cart before the horse from what I see. Leading inventors to believe their idea is being pitched to companies when in fact they are just creating versions with name changes, and may then contact the company to see if interested. In no way is this good business ethics. Especially when Davidson uses your money to waste. Solid leads and spending as little as possible to get an invention up and moving is the key. I am barely through 3 pages of comments and have seen very little change in what is said. Always needing more money. Another company targeted. and excuses from Davidson. I just checked BBB which Davidson has not applied for a rating with this year, and found that although 216 cases had been closed, they were not necessarily settled. More that Davidson had been in contact with or would like to be in contact with the person to talk about an agreement, then the case is closed out. the contract does state that disagreements be taken to the company, not outside persons like attorney's. Several of these complaints are met with we agree to presentations to several companies, free of charge.This is not saying they will show 2 specific companies just that they will produce presentations with company names, but how do you know, they do this. I don't believe Davidson shows many products, considering the % that are in the contracts after the company are usually 0%. Do they create a presentation to show,with your money, maybe. is it shown, who knows..

      I did get involved late in this process with my friend. The contract is very specific. Reading and understanding what it says is key, before signing. As far as letting him invest so much money, I would not have let him. Going from $795 to get started, to over $7,000 to show one company in a few months is ridiculous, then to ask for more money to make a presentation to show another company that has not been contacted by them yet is even more ridiculous. I see red flags every where with this company. Your ideas are great I bet, just not sure this company has your best interest at heart. I would not trust them with your ideas or your money. I wish you all the best of luck though. Good things do come to good people
    • That's what they will keep telling you and taking your money. Stop while you are behind. They have a pitiful track record for getting your idea on the market,try LightningLaunch.com
  • This company will do nothing for you except take your money. They are such a scam!!
  • Thank you guys for posting this!

    I am in the initial contact stage

    with davidsons- I am supposed to speak

    with with DAN KARETSKI Monday next week.

    I'll definitely be speaking to him and

    also having quite a bit of fun with him

    about their past track record with all of you and

    Their BBB citations!

    After reading these posts, I definitely plan

    to not use their company. Thanks again for

    posting this, all of you just saved me a bundle of money.

    God bless
    • Be careful with Dan Karetski. He's good and knows the script verbatim. I would bet my money that you're just another prospect that has paid in full to a dead end. He got paid a healthy commission off your money. Sorry to be the bare of bad news.
    • I really don't know how much of these negative reviews are true but as for my experience so far I haven't had any bad experience with them. I am 15k invested. I have been dealing with Mr. Karetski and he calls me every two weeks to keep me up to date. I am already paid in full so. If it was a scam why call me to give updates. For me I'm too far in financially but if no risk no reward. I will keep this site updated if my experience goes bad but till now it's been ok. I hope and pray I don't end up getting screwed. You can email me at [email protected]
  • I am glad i found this site. I was just on the phone 2/11/14 talking with a rep from Davison Company, He is suppose to call me on 2/12/14 and e-mail me a contract today. It is very good that the internet has good adivse for cosumers. No one has time to spend there hard earnd money dealing with scam companies. There should be a law against legal crooks! Thanks Again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    • sadly you put it as to what it is legal crooks they under poor statute of service, may continue to rob you provided they can prove service, regardless of state poor fair or good. the fact that we fuel them with our money is what keeps them alive, and unless they are sued to oblivion they will continue to do so.

      the man at the wheel built this juggernaught of finacial rape because like other industustries like the video game industry, there are an endless supply of niave dreamers to be fleeced. to finacial rape them and grind them into the ground as a revinue stream is easy money for them. they dont care about making a better place for any one but themselves. and even if you sue them out, they will get back together under a new name to reform into another slave ring.

      only though education of potential victims, busness ethics laws, and lawsuits do you keep them in line. and even then its hard to keep con artists at bay.

      we all got rammed on this I myself included 700 initial only to find out they were a scam show.

      and after seeing the crushed trail of people that have been financially destroyed by this, well its bad and something needs to be done.
  • Thanks to this post, I will keep my money, thank you. I just received the "confidential" contract and was curious why they want you to sign the contract before you learn anything about what they will do for you. Also, the salesman was much too eager to accept my idea, especially when I had only given him a brief description of it. Glad to save my money. The cost started out at $795, then was lowered to $695 if you acted immediately. Thanks again
