Why Signing With an Invention Marketing Company Gives You a 95 Percent Failure Rate
If you’ve searched online for help with your invention idea, you’ve seen them: free evaluations,
promises to patent and market your idea, and claims of presenting to major companies.
Here’s the truth:
Signing with most invention marketing companies dramatically reduces your chances
of success.
The Trap
Most inventors follow the same path: they have an idea, search for help, get told it has potential, and
are sold a package costing thousands. It feels like progress—but it isn’t.
What Actually Happens
After payment, you typically receive a basic drawing, a generic sell sheet, maybe a patent referral, and
a submission to companies. Then—nothing.
1. Paid Upfront, Not on Results
They make money when you sign—not when you succeed.
2. No Real Validation
No serious analysis of demand, function, competition, or cost.
3. Companies Ignore Blind Submissions
Large companies work with trusted sources—not random pitches.
4. False Progress
You feel like you’ve moved forward—but your odds haven’t improved.
The 95% Reality
Most inventors who go this route never see a return—not because their idea is bad, but because the
system doesn’t work.
What Actually Works
Start with honest evaluation. Focus on product logic before patents. Control early costs. Build toward the right outcome—even if that means walking away.
Final Thought
The invention process isn’t risky because ideas fail—it’s risky because inventors are pushed into the wrong system.

Next Step
Before signing anything, stop and get a real evaluation. It can save you thousands—and years of frustration.
