What is Davison?

Davison helps inventors turn their ideas into real products and mobile apps. It assists with idea and product development, marketing, design and patent licensing. Its customers’ products have included bakeware, pet supplies, health and wellness items, apps and more.

How does Davison work?

Davison helps creators at all stages of the invention process. The company can help with:

  • Idea development
  • Product development
  • Pitches for licensing
  • Corporation options for licensing
  • Company pitches

The process starts with the Idea Security Agreement, which is legally binding and keeps your idea confidential. From there, if Davison finds your idea viable, its professionals help design your product. It offers 2D and 3D modeling, ideation sketches, virtual rendering, computer-aided design and 3D printing. It then assists in pitching your product to companies. Davison notes that while it introduces many products yearly, only a few make it to market.

How much does Davison cost?

Davison’s costs depend on your idea’s complexity and the services you need to develop it. There’s no charge for the initial staff consultation, but the website doesn’t specify typical price ranges for product development. However, it does note that the founder, George Davison, invested $30,000 in his first invention. Online reviews suggest its initial fees might fall between $300 to $900 and that prototypes can cost up to $12,000.

Davison FAQ

Where is Davison located?

Davison has two locations in Pennsylvania and one in Florida, but it works with clients all over the world.

How do I get started with Davison?

To get started with Davison, submit your idea through the Idea Security Agreement, a legally binding document that protects your idea’s confidentiality. Then, you’ll get a free staff consultation.

Who owns Davison?

Davison is owned by George Davison, who founded the company in 1989.

What’s it like to work with Davison?

Customers report good experiences with Davison — they say the staff is knowledgeable, helpful and communicative.

Still have questions?

Is Davison a legit company?

Yes. It’s important to note that Davison was the target of two multimillion-dollar judgments from the Federal Trade Commission in the early 2000s, but no major issues with the company have been reported in the past decade or so. Ultimately, if you plan to move forward with an invention, it’s important to be confident in your idea’s quality, usefulness and need; otherwise, your investment might lead to little return.

    I am just excited about seeing my ideas take real form. I understand that research and work takes time. I had a lot of projects to work on for people myself. I am enjoying my life while I have the time and patience to get these products built for me by real professionals. I believe in Davison, because Davison likes Disney! I am a real fan of inventors and Disney, so I am just proud to be a part of the process here.

      So, far concluding the initial in processing with Janine **, I would give your program 5 stars because she has been clear and complete in her communications with me about the program. She has provided me with the necessary documents and directions to sign up and get the ball rolling hopefully to a successful presentation of my invention. So, far the initial upfront cost has been extremely inviting and the information I've received about the next steps could be encouraging.

      I truly think that Davison provides a great opportunity for all those inventors out there who are hesitant about persuing their dreams of making their ideas become a reality. I was really hesitant myself as I had had a bad experience with another invention firm that cost me thousands of dollars to develop an idea that ended up going nowhere. So if you have an idea and don't know how to proceed. I believe you owe it to yourself to check out Davison's team. They can take your idea to the next level. Sincerely, Earl F.

      There is a lot of information to include in this review. I was told in the beginning there would be a one-time fee with no additional hidden charges. This information is totally incorrect. There are additional charges and make sure you find out what those are before you move forward doing anything with this company. They'll tell you that you'll be hands-on and involved in everything in your project, this is not the experience I had. I had to ask repeatedly to get information about the project and still didn't receive the information that I asked for over and over again.

      Speaking with multiple people at Davison trying to get information everybody wants to be defensive and want to make excuses. I feel that I was completely misled, and lied to, do your research before you hire an invention company. I would not recommend this company to anyone. I know there are no guarantees when it comes to inventions and getting them on the market, however in my humble opinion they care nothing for your invention. They only want your money. From my experience when you stop telling them you're no longer paying for anything else contact, representation and help stops. And to be very clear I do not like to give bad reviews but I'm not going to stay silent and not speak up when I feel like I have been treated unfairly and in my opinion unethically.

      I feel robbed. I paid good money for minimal effort. This business adventure was supposed to be exciting and fun, and experience I had was neither. I have spoken to a couple of upper management representatives for help since I can't get it from my representative and all I get is excuses and defensive attitude. I have laid out all the facts of my experience with Davison to the upper management, no one cares. There is too much additional information to the list in this review it would take up pages. If someone from the company would like to contact me feel free.

      Everyone acts like they're your best friends in the beginning, that ends quickly when you don't agree with what they're saying or doing and you question their process. The information is asking me to submit a receipt from Davison to verify I am a client. That's nonsense. I am definitely a client. They have all the information about me and my project in their customer client list. I hope this review reaches the right people, and someone actually takes it seriously. Nothing personal. Business is business. I am a current unhappy client.

Five long year's of time and money LOST in thinking that I was going to be a millionaire, NOT going to happen. It's turn into a nightmare that if it was a movie you just watch you yourself would not be able to sleep for weeks, maybe even years.

      I honestly can’t say enough good things about Davison. When I first came to them with my invention /idea, I was nervous, excited, and honestly unsure where to even begin. From day one, they treated me with kindness, patience, and genuine respect. They never made me feel like “just another customer” — they made me feel like my idea truly mattered.

      Not only did the team take the time to walk me through every step, answer all my questions, and give me confidence in something that started as just a dream in my head. The encouragement from Tonette and professionalism meant more to me than they probably realize. You can tell they truly care about helping people bring their ideas to life.

      What stood out the most was how passionate and supportive everyone was throughout the process. It felt like I had people in my corner who genuinely wanted to see me succeed. That kind of experience is hard to find these days. So thanks again to everyone, especially Tonette, who walked me through every step. I’m beyond grateful for everything they’ve done and would absolutely recommend Davison to anyone who has an invention /idea and doesn’t know where to start. They helped turn something that felt impossible into something real, and that’s something I’ll never forget. Thanks again, Tonette and everyone else who put hours of hard work into making this single father's dreams of stability possible. 🩷

      Hello, my name is Timothy ** and I came up with an idea for providing oxygen to water for fish and plants that requires no electricity, it's called Spin-Air. Edward ** who is the senior project manager with Davison and I have talked about developing it for everyday use. It's consist of a floating paddle wheel that is powered by magnets and it can be started or stopped by removing a small pin that passes through the framework to the paddle wheel. This can make it possible to provide oxygen to your tank without the use of tablets or electricity and unlike the tablets the Spin-Air can operate consistently and does not require you to replenish the oxygen tablets.
