The reps have been fantastic. I also used InventHelp 25 years ago and I’ve been very pleased. I love the way that they were very accommodating when I had changes to add to the product and the video that they sent me shows exactly the way I want the product to be designed. I am totally 100% happy with everything that I’ve gotten so far. I was supposed to be exhibited in a show in Las Vegas on March 21st, but unfortunately, the coronavirus has caused a halt in the process. Everything else is fantastic and I’m all ready to go.
Inventhelp has been great from the very start. They have been honest and upfront about everything, and I was able to feel comfortable and trust when talking about my Invention. The process has been very quick and in about 8 short months they have gotten my brochure sent to 25 companies and about to send to more companies. My patent has been accepted, and that was done through Inventhelp referral! And to top it off every time I have called to check up and see how things are going they are always super nice and helpful and actually give me details on exactly what they're doing right now, especially Maura **, she was so great and even followed up with me by email! Inventhelp is a great company! Thank you!
Thank you, you have successfully subscribed to our newsletter! Enjoy reading our tips and recommendations.
Very quick to reply and research my project, giving clear and precise advice. The high level of service and communication is rare! Looking forward to working with InventHelp and moving my project forward. Thank you.
InventHelp is the only company to trust with your invention. They are extremely knowledgeable and professional and make a complex field easy. They respond promptly to emails and phone calls and nothing was an inconvenience.
I had the pleasure working with InventHelp. They took the time to explain everything in detail with me, the process, and what it would involve. I would highly recommend, even if you have questions or unsure of what assistance you require.

This company was amazing, professional, and guided me step by step. I'm so excited to get my product underway and I couldn't have done it without the team at InventHelp. Would highly recommend to any inventor!
The service has been great. The staff is very knowledgeable and has been very responsive in regards to all my questions and concerns in regards to my invention. I recommend InventHelp to anyone who needs the same service.
I don't give out compliments unless they're true and people deserve them. Invent Help definitely deserves the highest praise as far as I'm concerned. Knowledgeable, helpful, courteous, are just a few traits I can list off top of my head when I think of Invent Help.
I am using InventHelp for the first time. The team at InventHelp has provided exceptional service for my invention. Everyone is engaged and responsive. I have chosen the full service to get from idea, to patents, to prototyping and marketing. I am very pleased with entire process and strongly recommend InventHelp to anyone who has a good idea and who wants to give it the best chance for success. NC.
I am SO VERY PLEASED with the work that all of the InventHelp Team has done for me!! They are all Very Nice and Completely Understanding. They took my toy idea and they’re making it a Dream and a Reality!! I worked closely with their Illustrator Jordyn, and even with each update I requested, she was Always Kind, Courteous and Accommodating. I Love what they did with my idea. For years the idea was just in my mind's eye, but just from my explanation they’re making my Dreams Come True!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND their services!!!! It’s WELL WORTH the Investment!!!!

I was introduced to InventHelp over two years ago. I began with one invention which sparked an idea for a second invention. Being a novice in this area, I received a lot of friendly help from the start by Tim and Angelia. I realized that there were some necessary changes to be made in order to make my invention more: people helpful & useful, easier and cheaper installation, do it yourself project, attractive to the media. I may have taken too much time in making the changes. I lost some of the friendly help I experienced earlier, but the one person who went above and beyond to help me complete my project was Maura from Client Services. Now, a satisfactory invention.
