Invention Resource International Reviews

  • Dec 12, 2017

In February 2011, I made my initial trip to Iselin, N.J. to meet with a representative of IRI. The rep. at the time seemed very interested in my product. It is a device that would make it impossible to text or talk on a cellphone while driving a motor vehicle. I then signed a non-disclosure agreement to protect my product until a patent could be put in place.

The rep. explained that it was a 2 phase process with phase 1 costing $1,195.00 to conduct a patent search. I returned with a cashiers check for that amount a little less than 2 weeks later. I was notified of the completed patent search at the end of May and returned to sign a formal 2 year contract for development and promotion of my product. This time I gave them another cashiers check for $8,950.00.

Within the next few days, I received a book binder through the mail detailing the results of the search and why it would be a lucrative venture to pursue. I will now outline what $10,145.00 will buy from this shameful, unscrupulous, miserable excuse of a so-called business. They claim to have sent out mailings to companies about my product quarterly, except these were companies I never heard of. They sent me lists, how do I know they were sent to them?

They promised trade show exposure. I went to the New York Auto Show, the biggest in the U.S. There was no representation and I was never contacted. They promised a CD-Rom of a virtual prototype and/or a working model and I never received either. I was assigned a new product rep. who was in the Myrtle Beach, S.C. office. I said I'd be vacationing there and would like to stop by the office The rep. said that it wouldn't be possible due to a "security policy".

My story was featured on NBC News4NY's "Better Get Baquero" on 4/25/17 and is available on her website in the archives. Her office had repeatedly tried to contact IRI since the segment was filmed in Sept. 2016 with no success. A few weeks after the broadcast, I received a letter from the New York State Attorney General's Office. They said they would look into the matter but only as a mediator, since they cannot act as a consumer's private attorney.

Just today, I received another letter from the Attorney General's Office. After 6 months of repeated attempts to contact IRI, they were unsuccessful. "The Attorney General's Office can take formal law enforcement action, only when we have evidence of a business's pattern of repeated or persistent fraud or illegality." What this means is, everybody who has been ripped off by IRI must report it to their respective state's Attorney General. If enough complaints are received, this would facilitate a class action lawsuit that would hopefully sue them into bankruptcy.

At the time I had heard on the radio about international invention resources (IRI) I had an amazing idea and went right to them. I called they said they have an office near me Oakbrook ILL. I went told him my idea (Scott) then he said I have to talk to my team he did and came back said " this is the best idea since Snuggie" So I went on with the paperwork, payments. Promised they will do all the paperwork trade shows Patien Lawyer's. I did get emails from them phone calls back for 1 year. After that Nothing don't pick up my phone calls, don't respond to my voice mails nothing at all... I figured they are Crap Stoled My Money!

My name is John Scott I was born in Houston,Texas. Now the reason I am filing this report is not for attention. But with reason telling people to never go to Invention Resources International.They stole my invention and sold it black market style to multiple corporations and groups. Some of the major ones I will speak about. First I am a African American male that is saddened by all of this.But there is virtually nothing I can do by the time I found out patients were filed.I tried to contact a lawyer,But he informed me of how lengthy the cases will be and how much I would have to spend to get justice,Not to mention time.So I am filing this report.My invention is called Artificial World Systems its a series of components all placed into one invention it allows one to place themselves in a virtual reality type of existence.Using contact lenses for as the visual which we can talk about Google contacts for virtual Reality same year they filed the patent maybe about 8 months before that I presented my invention to Invention Resources international.Now the invention was mostly for virtual reality gaming,But it has military benefits also.So I see Oculus Rift and there virtual reality set up what gave them away was not only how Oculus Rift works but I watched them talk about their product and they said the exact same think I said in my interview about shooting Zombies at Invention Resources international.I could not believe it.It was heart breaking to hear and see.Also some of it was sold to Sony and other companies world wide.Who knows how much money they made off the deal.But it makes me feel as if I just dont want to be here anymore.I struggled all through life and I finally do something great and it gets shited on by corporations with big fancy lawyers.Now here is how they got my invention.I knew absolutely nothing about the invention process or think these people would try to screw me.The guy tells me how great my invention is and ask me to make copies of my invention for their records and of course I didnt know so I agreed because he and I signed a paper saying the wouldnt try to sell it or anything.But they did.This has been a deep burden upon me.I just needed to talk about.I already let Google know how I feel by posting a picture of the invention on their Google glass Facebook page. Thank You for reading and I hope that you are not victimized by them in the future.

For many years I have been giving money to IRI. I finally realized no one was contacting me I called for months and no responce. Went to the office location it was gone. Not even listed on the directory anymore. Thats when I realized I had been taken advantage of. Thought I could contact DesertvView for information. No luck the number is always busy. Then I found this site and got an eye full. I wasn't the only one suckered by them.
