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.

  • Over the past 12 years i have lost well over 12 grand due to the fraudulent operations of davison inventions company. They recently canceled my contract with them because i contacted the company that they had told me my material was being reviewed by. I found out that davison had not in fact contacted them and they were not reviewing my material. I can prove everything many of which falls in line with so many other stories that i just read through.

    Davison failed to produce my product according to my original design, fooled me into signing the go ahead paper work because they had someone that wanted to look at it right now. Being gullible and greedy, i went along with it. They hit my visa card for an extra 8 grand then conned me with the thought that if i believed in my product, that although davison had made a mistake on the charge, the truth of the matter is, that they needed the money to make things happen for me. They lost my material, stole my materials, did not make the product that i designed, lied to me, losts my materials again, charged me many times to repackage my product to move to new companies and would never show me just what my product looked like so i could help them.

    Finally i had to shut it down and when i received my material and witnessed just what they had built for me, i was totally shocked because the damn thing would never work in a million years. I built my own unit for showing, told them after reviewing a phony book that they sent me of my product that had nothing in it but downloaded crap from the internet with nothing in it about my invention which showed total fraud on their part. I complained to the then vice president name of frank viesco who checked thru my files and found out that yes indeed, i had them by the short hairs and he then agreed to give me what i needed, meaning complete and open communications, total openness and honesty and agreed to show my product to three companies at no additional charges.

    Boy howdy was i ever fooled once again, these people are total professional con experts. They deal with your needs and know that they have us where they want us to be. I was a total fool in believing them and now its time for all us little people to gather together in a common effort and put it to them. I am going to send out emails to those that have left theirs in an effort to try and get together. I left word to a gentleman name of roman, he seems to have already attempted to organize the effort lets try and get something started right away...Email me as your time permits...Ron craig [email protected] Thank you....Ron
    • Hey there,

      I want to do a story on Davison in canada for the CBC. can you get in touch? 204-788-3210 or [email protected].. curious about what happened to you..
    • Hi ron! I am out $17,000.00 and a small product that can be sold in a store when my original idea was a commercial product. They chopped and blocked my whole idea. I was also put into contact with frank vescio and was told the same thing. My email is [email protected]. I also put a complaint in with the federal trade commission. I would suggest everyone do that.

      Ohhhh... And Carol.....I had the same exact thing happen to me only with different names. This is not coincidence! This company is awful!
    • Rita run while you still can!
    • Ron

      I too have been scammed of my hard earned money. I like you Ron have cut all ties with my contract and in going any further with this company. I have sent up two conference calls with Mr. Vesico, whom has canceled one and blown off the other. I have wasted more time and more money with this company, let alone alot of heartache.

      Lastnight I worked the overnight at my hospital and received a computer generated emal immediately after midnight from one only "Leo Petrulli" will include this email below:

      Hello Carol,

      I wanted to take a minute to introduce myself. I've been assigned the important responsibility of assisting you. The individual you were communicating with previously is no longer with the company, but rest assured, I have your entire file and will be personally guiding your idea through the Davison Inventing Method™

      Carol, I'd like to speak with you to formally introduce myself and so we can stay on track with the idea.

      Call or email me at your earliest convenience with a preferred telephone number of where I can reach you.

      I look forward to hearing from you.

      Creatively Yours,

      Leo Petrulli

      Well Mr. Petrulli did not do his homework, he is one of the two people I am filing my complaint against. He has NOT listened to a thing I have said, he speaks over me and is down right rude. Stating "Why do you want a piece of the pie, when you can have the whole pie"? (If I hear that again I swear I will be sick) The problem their pie, has nothing to do with my pie (so to speak). They have sent me 2 computerized drawings that my middle school son could have done on photoshop, NO EXCUSE ME my son could have done a better job! They have taken my idea and turned it all around,it is NOTHING like what I wanted. Any supposed "major corporation" whould laugh at this. I am so angry all I want is my money back, I too have shut down ties with this company. I will not sign another damn thing. I am over 10,000.00 in the hole.

      Please feel free to contact me, my husband and I have an appointment with a attorney today.
    • I just paid $715 to them... and now I am reaing this and it makes me sick..... I want my money back now. I talked to Joseph today and he told me that it was going to cost me more money in about 2-3 weeks because now they are working on the Portfolio,,,, Damn, damn, damn them....
  • Well im glad I read all of these reviews and saved time and money. Thanks guys...for the ones who have been scammed, You all should defiantly take law suit actions, hearing all of these reviews im sure you all could make a good case
  • My appologies ... Davison
  • All i can say is this, what proof do u or me have that Davison has the expertise to develop any ones ideas in any given case... my idea for example requires extensive knowledge of electronics.... why should any one trust them to know how to develop anything? Think about that before presenting your idea to any one... Why do they take so long to develop any ideas ? Think..........
  • I just spoke with Ryan and the drive was all about my initial "deposit" of $795.00 due before any work would be started on my project. That is how you get swindled, "Money up front" means that not only do they NOT believe in your product, they are not willing to invest their resources in order that you might find a profitable partnership. The bulk of their capital is seeming to come from the inventors and not from the inventions themselves. This is a huge bureaucratic red flag that will only lead you to destruction in my opinion. Then after I said "No thank you, I can't afford it", they send me an email with this is the subject line; Subject: YOUR DECISION TO SAY NO TO GETTING THE Boot Lock IN FRONT OF CORPORATIONS THAT HAVE PRODUCTS ON STORE SHELVES

    Content:Hello Kicker, Did you know that every single thing that has been invented and created throughout human history began with one thought? From that one thought, an idea was made and transformed from a concept to a tangible item. Your idea needs you right now. I can remember when I was working on my first idea. I truly had no clue as to how I was going to develop it, but I had faith and envisioned a future where my ideas would become real and help people. Little did I know that I would eventually invent the world's first economical way to invent and develop not only my own inventions, but the ideas of other people and major corporations, as well. It all started with a little faith and belief. If you can see the outcome of your idea in your mind, our team is ready and enthusiastically willing to help you. If you can't see your idea becoming real--if it doesn't keep popping into your head from time to time--then this probably isn't something that is right for you. I've learned that some of my ideas, like the ones in the stores today, and the idea for my creative work environment, Inventionland, kept calling out to me. I simply trusted my instincts and believed in my ideas. Please call Ryan OConnor at 1.866.328.4766 EXT :50039 and let us know if you still believe in Boot Lock. Creatively Yours, G Davison Founder DAVISON | RIDC Park . 595 Alpha Drive | Pittsburgh, PA 15238 866-Davison ext. 50039 | Fax: 412-967-0794 International: 412-967-0124 (I have adjusted the spacing but otherwise this is the email in its entirety.)

    My reply: I would like to take the opportunity to correct the subject title of this email. I am not at all saying NO to getting my product seen by corporations, I am saying no to paying upfront fees. Maybe I am spoiled by the entertainment business but as the person with the idea to begin with, and with the potential of getting this product created, and also expressing UPFRONT that I have no capital to invest other than my time (perspiration) and mind, then there was nothing left to discuss. I am extremely interested in seeing my product(s) on store shelves and I am also extremely interested in the potential that this product can have if marketed to the right industry. However, I am not a corporation at this time. I don't have the financial means to back my own invention(s) and therefore came to you and your company for that thing you are selling to the American people...the American Dream. The other product could not have been properly invented without some of today's technologies and therefore if presented in the right markets would positively create a product for a new kind of customer. I would love to have a team that would help in the success of these products and even more so love to do so without comments like yours that are blatantly wrong. In addition I have read some pretty daunting reviews about your company and while I can greatly appreciate the seemingly few who pass through your process with success, there seem to be far more with false promises, empty pockets, and shaken awaken dreams. I hope that your integrity supersedes your greed and that this devil called Money is not the only thing in which you can claim your happiness. Kindest Regards,' Kicker

    If there is a legitimate company out there and that company offers inventors a chance to get their products and ideas from the drawing board, to the store, and everything in between then I would encourage you to contact some of the people scorned and scarred by these "Industry Professionals" that continue to steal from good hardworking individuals who just may have succeeded in "building a better mousetrap".
  • Well, it seems that there are a lot of complaints with this company - if things do not turn out right for me with this company - I say lets all get together and file a law suit. I live in Arizona and will post my phone number on craigslist - I still did not get the first example that was promised two weeks ago - Hell with this Communistic promises to deliver services but no results. I advise for everyone to keep records with Davidson. I will also create a website for all that have been scammed to post their information so all date can be collected and passed on to a Law suite. Hell no, we all work hard to support our families and this crap will not happen. Hmm a newspaper ad would also do great or post a video on Youtube explaining Davidson crappy work get people together. I might do that also. So look for me on Youtube :).
    • Include me in on any suit! Currently working with them but pulling out! What a run around. Out $795 which is little compared to many that I have read here, wow! Much like many others I read, got a call from Joseph Love this morning seems they lost a diagram I had sent them ( hmm where did I hear that before) Think these people play by a script. I can't even imagine the shit they are going to send me after reading all this.......I agree with all of you above, if we all get together there has to be something we can do? How many more will be scammed out of hard earned dollars ugh!

    • Please take a moment to contact me concerning davison inventions etc...I like your idea of forming a group for a major lawsuit in hopes of some recovery of funds...My email address is.... [email protected] I have lost over 12 grand....Ron Ps...I have a story that will rock you....Also have had dealings with your Barbra Browning, i have a 12 year long experience with these crooks and can prove fraud one hundred percent.
    • Carol, that's the same thing they did to me it doesn't look nothing like the original idea that we agree on at the beginning and they will not change it to what i paid for over 12.000.00 Roman good job count me in for any class action. thank you
    • Roman,

      In the contract it states that you can not be involved in a class action suit. However if enough people jump on the band wagon and contact F.T.C. this company hopefully could be put out of business. I will not sign approval for my product idea because it is NOTHING like what my invention is about. I was told yesterday by Barbara Browning @ Davison that unless I approve their product my file will be placed on hold. I hired them to work with me and help me produce my product. The company is nothing but a huge scam ripping off people of their hard earned cash.

      Good luck you will need it!
  • Just prior to sending the first $6,290. My investor dug deeper on Davison only to find so very many unhappy,even enraged customers/victims. My Rep. is obviously just a salesman who I now know was full of inaccuracy, even lies as to the reputation of this company.I'm sure most folks with an idea are convinced it is their idea that will find it's way to market and make them rich,but it is now painfully obvious nice folks are being bilked out of their hard earned money. Thank you all again,and do your idea yourself. I am. God bless
    • Mr. Davison how can you do this to all your customers? One of these days someone is going to lose it and do something stupid! You and your company are the perfect example of why people do inappropriate things to dishonest people and companies!
  • I am out and I still have my $$$. Thanks!
  • i allmost made the same mistakes i think im in it for 800.00 after reading this i am out . and looking to collect my money.
  • Please contact me if anyone knows of a class action lawsuit that is currently in effect. I have been riped off royally. Do not trust these slime bags. I wonder how they can look at themselves in the mirror let alone sleep at night. I am now in the hole for close to 11,000.00. They will not modify my design to what I want, It is a one way street.

    PLEASE DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY. Do your research and look online at the federal trade commisions reports on Davison. Do not make the same mistake as we did. It is costly one!
