I really need some advice. I came up with an invention a few months ago. I went with Davison inventing company, who I now believe is a scam. The company had me to pay $795.00, and I was told it was for my patent. Then the company tells me that I need to pay $15,000 for my protype and my provisional patent will come later. Yes, I did become upset because I have never invented anything and during my research with this company I was told and I thought that I was paying for my patent. So, Mr. I*****, tells me that if I can just ... read more

Business response:

To: Ms. ******* ******* ******; Customer concerns upset everyone and the staff works very hard to troubleshoot them so communication errors are kept to a minimum. Any implication that you were not provided with all the facts regarding Davison’s services is not supported by the facts. You contract with Davison was in clear language, readable type and had no “fine print” provisions. It is not possible to be more upfront with its clients about the services, fees and the development of their project. You contacted Davison by sub... read more

I joined Davison in 2015 after a bombard of email request for a year to contact them. I was researching how to patent an idea and stumbled up on their website. I surfed the site - looks good. I registered -- what's the worst that can happen. Well after receiving almost a year of emails I am thinking my idea must be pretty good. So I called the person who sent me the emails. He was very nice - user friendly. I was convinced I could see my invention in stores. I paid the initial fee for them to research my idea for other paten... read more

Business response:

To Ms. ***** ***** – You have been a valued client since you first contacted Davison in January 2014. While it is unfortunate that your product idea has not been licensed; that fact does not negate the services which were provided. Davison performed its services with your express written approval and authorization. Further, the services met with your documented satisfaction. There is no basis for your posted comments. The simple truth is; the new product development process is a high risk venture. There is no guarantee that ... read more

Any implication that you were not provided with all the facts regarding Davison’s services is not supported by the facts. From the time of an initial contact and throughout the development and presentation of the idea, Davison maintains an open channel of communication, disclosing, in advance, its services and fees, the risks of new product development, and providing contracts ... read more

This is a terrible company which promises the moon to people who are desperate, therefore vulnerable, to such promises. They do not deliver on their promises but they're very good at taking lots of money from people. Read about the FTC case in 1997 or the testimony of a former Davison employee from 2008. If you sign on with this company despite all the negative reviews, be prepared to hand over a fortune and get nothing for it. I wasted over $15K with them. They say they had a team of engineers redo my invention but looks no... read more

To Mr. **** *********; Customer concerns upset everyone and our staff works very hard to troubleshoot them so communication errors are kept to a minimum. Unfortunately, the comments in your post are defamatory, false, and misleading. While on-line complaint sites serve a valuable service in facilitating communication, they are not a valid forum for individuals to vent their frustration at the expense of a company and its dedicated employees.

Business response:

To Ms. *** ****** – Your comments about Davison and its services are unwarranted. At the outset is should be clarified that you are not, nor have you ever been, a client of Davison. As you post indicates, it was your husband who contracted with Davison. It was your husband that approved all aspects of the services provided. Those services were completed by April 2012, more than five (5) years ago and his product idea was actually licensed. Your post makes clear that you are misinformed, as there is no factual support for you... read more

Business response:

To Ms. ******* ******* – You have been a valued client since first contacting Davison in 2012. Regrettably, your posted comments are defamatory and false. Davison provided its services with your express written permission and authorization. Further, the services were provided to your documented satisfaction. While it is unfortunate that no corporation has licensed your product, that fact does not provide a basis for your defamatory comments. All services were completed by July 2015. Now, more than two years later, you post t... read more

I will like the world to know about this company and its Business model, please DO NOT fall for their tricks, I was scammed to invest in 3 projects which I paid well over $30,000. The new product specialist encouraged me to pay in full all my projects if NOT they will be all others ahead of me, MEANING I WILL BE LEFT FOR LAST. Now that I paid all in FULL, the communication has ended, I literally have to beg and sent out emails to get communication, but no responses, once your project is paid in FULL and you are given videos ... read more

Davison design and development from Pittsburgh Pitt. "Is a scam". They have strung me along for over a year now. They have collected money from myself and countless others who complain about the same treatment. This company has been ordered in the recent passed to repay over $26,000,000 million dollars to previous victims for the same scam. They just change their company name when they get caught, and our government allows them to continue doing this as long as they keep paying taxes! Hmmmm who should we really be upset with... read more
