For the same reason consumers buy any service: convenience and cost. For example, to obtain similar services as those offered by InventHelp, an inventor would have to:

• Assemble general information relating to the invention such as benefits, features, target markets, etc.
• Hire a professional animator
• Write and print quality invention literature
• Select companies to which ideas can be confidentially submitted
• Obtain confidentiality agreements with those companies
• Attend industry trade shows to make general contacts
• Prepare a press release and publish on an online publicity distribution site
• Submit your idea to companies who have agreed to review ideas in confidence

These services purchased individually by an inventor acting alone could cost much more than InventHelp’s bundled services.

Yes. Upon contacting InventHelp, we will sign a Statement of Confidentiality & Non-use with you to maintain confidentiality of your idea.

InventHelp has a unique system of submitting client inventions in confidence. We do so by submitting your idea to companies that have registered for the InventHelp Data Bank. The companies included in this Data Bank have agreed to review client ideas in confidence. To find these companies, InventHelp representatives travel thousands of miles and spend hundreds of hours making these connections with companies in a wide variety of categories and industries.

We do not typically display client inventions at trade shows we attend. Rather, we attend trade shows with the purpose of obtaining new contacts and adding new companies to the InventHelp Data Bank.

InventHelp does not evaluate inventions. We simply do not believe that our opinion or anyone’s else’s opinion of the possible acceptability or market potential of a new product idea or invention is any more than just that – an opinion. The only opinions that matter are those of companies who may review your invention.

We do not evaluate inventions or appraise the merit or marketability of your invention idea.
