Davison Inventions's reply to: Checking on my invention

Hello, Mr. Ricardo,
You have been a valued client since first contacting Davison in March 2016. Client concerns are
taken seriously and efforts are made to resolve those concerns. As will be detailed, you
contracted for services which have been performed with your approval and to your documented
satisfaction. Your request for the physical sample is awaiting your return of the required
paperwork.
You first contacted Davison on 03/16/2016. You contracted for the pre-development research services which were performed. You then entered a contract for the creation of a product sample and presentation material. A design was created which met with your approval. Based upon that approval, the physical product sample was constructed along with packaging and presentation material. These items were provided to you in an Executive Summary, which included an actual photograph of the physical product sample. You authorized the presentation of the product idea.
Finally, you completed two questionnaires, one on the design and the other on the Executive Summary, providing positive feedback.
The contract explicitly states that Davison would retain possession of the physical sample. Again, you were provided with a photograph of the physical sample. On or about 09/22/2022, you requested the physical sample to be shipped to you. Davison provided you with the necessary paperwork which to date has not been returned. Upon receipt of this authorization, the simple will be shipped.
For over 30 years, Davison has helped everyday people prepare and present their ideas to corporations, manufacturers, and retailers to see if they would be willing to license the product ideas. Our exclusive idea-to-product method is responsible for more products on the store shelves than any other competitor in this industry.

Ms. Beverly Uvy,
Davison would like to express its appreciation for your comments. While many individuals have positive experiences, it is not often that a client takes the time to post those views to organizations such as PissedConsumer. As a result, review sites are filled with a seemingly overwhelming volume of negativity. Again, Davison extends its appreciation for your time and consideration. A representative will be in contact with you shortly to address your refund request.

A review of your file indicates that Davison has not been in contact with you since November 6, 2015, nearly five years ago. You initiated contact with Davison, by the submission of an idea for a new product in September 2014. As part of that submission you provided your contact information and specifically authorized Davison to contact you. The records reflect numerous phone conversations, and exchanges of emails, though you did not enter any contract or make any payment to Davison.

That stated, customer concerns are taken seriously and efforts are made to ensure that all individuals who interact with the company are treated in a professional, respectful manner. Despite best efforts, miscommunications do occasionally occur. Davison extends its apology for any unintended slight or unprofessional tone that you may have perceived.

Davison Inventions's reply to: They are scammers

Davison takes client concerns seriously and makes efforts to resolve those concerns.
Regrettably, your complaint is defamatory and bears little resemblance to the facts. The
allegations that you were “robbed” and that false documents were created are inflammatory. As
will be detailed, you contracted for services which have been performed with your approval and to
your documented satisfaction. There is no basis for a refund.

You first contacted Davison on 05/12/2018, just over two years ago. You first contracted for the
pre-development research services which were performed. You then entered a Product
Development and Representation service contract. The contract covers a wide range of services
from the initial design, through final licensing services. Each individual stage in the process is
dependent upon your approval of the preceding stage. In your case, you provided approval of the
preliminary ideation drawing, based upon that approval, the preliminary virtual was created and
approved, and based upon that approval the preliminary engineering drawings were created and
approved. Following the Preliminary stage, the project moved to the Industrial stage where your
have approved the industrial ideation and industrial virtual rendering. Based upon those
approvals, the physical product sample was constructed along with packaging and presentation
material. These items were provided to you in an Executive Summary, which included an actual
photograph of the physical product sample. You authorized the presentation of the product idea
and the initial set of corporations has been contacted. Finally, you completed two questionnaires,
one on the industrial rendering and the other on the Executive Summary, providing positive
feedback.

At your request, the physical sample was shipped to you. You continue to allege that you did not
receive the sample. Davison can do no more than provide the shipping receipt which documents
the shipment to the address you provided and a copy of the FedEx delivery confirmation.
Davison has no control over the format that FedEx uses to create its delivery confirmations. Your
reference to a package shipped to B ROBINSON is a result of a simple transposition of numbers.
Your package tracking number ended in 6306, the tracking number for the package you are
referencing ends in 6036.

Despite there being no basis for a refund, Davison has offered, in a gesture of good faith, a partial
refund of funds. You have not responded to this offer. Davison will continue to honor that offer.

For over 30 years, Davison has helped everyday people prepare and present their ideas to
corporations, manufacturers, and retailers to see if they would be willing to license the product
ideas. Our exclusive idea to product method is responsible for more products on the store
shelves than any other competitor in this industry.

Davidson Invention robbed me of 14 thousand dollars. They have promised me the moon and stars.

After 2 years of phone calls stating my protype was moving into yet another level of production I decided to call their bluff When I asked them for the delivery of my prototype as promised via our contract and as promised. Now to top it off they say they delivered said prototype to my personal address, they sent me some fake fed ex receipt. They say I signed it I DID NOT EVER GET IT>;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

The receipt reads that it got sent to some city, limmerick which I have never heard of and my name clearly is not B Robinson, which is who supposedly signed for my 14 thousand dollar project. I have had a couple emotional break downs over this 2 year rodeo and numerous panic attacks....not only have they robbed me financially but emotionally AS WELL....CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME AND OR STEER ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION?

The consumer affairs has 100s of complaints for the exact same issues as well and the BBBS. I am contacting Consumer affairs, the FBI, the federal trade commissions and the list goes on and on.. I wan a full refund. If I have to obtain legal counsel I will be asking for emotional damages, punitive damages, all out of pocket legal fees and what ever else deemed possible to get this settled.

Refund me and I go away, if not I will proceed.

I have included their fake fe ex delivery receipt. I have no clue where limmerick is or who B Robinson is, keep in mind this is a 14 thousand dollar shipment, why would I NOT HAVE TO SIGN>

Davison Inventions's reply to: Ripped off

To Ms. Lorraine Haywood, Review #1987276 -

Having reviewed your project file, there is no basis for your complaint. Initially, with the exception of a fee discount, and the revocation period stated within the contracts, there are no contracts or agreements that require a response within a specified amount of time. Davison has performed its services with you express written approval and authorization.

You contacted Davison in April 2008 with an idea for a new product. Your project went through Davison’s process of designing and constructing a product sample, creating packaging and presentation material, and making a presentation to a corporation. Each step of this process was performed with your express written approval and authorization. In June 2011 your product idea was licensed. The corporation that licensed the idea was not able to secure any orders and the agreement was terminated. Davison offered its service of presenting the idea to another corporation; you declined that service. There has been no contact with you since December 2012. Now, seven and a half years later, you feel justified in posting this complaint. Respectfully, there is no basis for your complaint.

Countless numbers of individuals have an idea for a new product; have a passion for their vision for the product; and a belief that “everyone” surely shares their views. The simple truth is; the new product development process is a high risk venture. It is a time consuming process and requires adaptations to an initial concept that adjust for costs, technical constraints, and many other factors. There is no guarantee that a particular product idea will be licensed, much less a guarantee of a financial gain.

Davison goes to great lengths to disclose the risks to all individuals who may submit an idea for a new product. In addition to disclosing all of its services and fees upfront, the historical success rates of securing a license and of realizing a financial gain are provided. The contracts for services repeatedly provide disclosures that there is no guarantee that a product will be licensed, or that a client will realize a financial gain. Unfortunately, the reality for most individuals is that their product does not get licensed. When faced with an outcome not meeting their unrealistic expectations, too many clients forget that they knowingly undertook a risk after being fully informed of the risk by Davison.

For over 30 years, Davison has helped everyday people prepare and present their ideas to corporations, manufacturers, and retailers to see if they would be willing to license the product ideas. Our exclusive idea to product method is responsible for more products on the store shelves than any other competitor in this industry.

Davison Inventions's reply to: Resolved: I paid them money for a product I never got.

Customer concerns upset everyone and the staff works very hard to troubleshoot them so communication errors are kept to a minimum. A review of your file indicates that Davison has performed all services with your approval and authorization, and to your documented satisfaction. Further, all services were completed by May 2017, more than two years ago. To raise concerns now, contradicting the documented evidence is disingenuous at best. There is no support for the complaint.

You contracted for the creation of a rendering that depicted your product idea and presentation material. You also contracted for the creation of a short video describing the product idea. You approved the proposed rendering, authorized the presentation of the idea and completed two questionnaires (one about the rendering and the second about the presentation material) providing positive feedback. Your product idea was presented to the targeted corporation. The corporation chose not to license the idea, and you authorized the presentation to three additional corporations; none of which chose to license the product idea. No additional services have been secured.

Your contention that you paid of for a “product”, to the extent that implies a physical product sample, is incorrect. You entered an “Integrated Product Rendering” agreement. The language in the contract, from its title to the specific terms, is clear that a graphic representation of the product idea, i.e. a rendering, depiction, design, was to be developed. No term refers to the construction of a physical prototype.

Your fundamental complaint is that the product idea has not been licensed. Davison simply does not guarantee a particular product will be licensed; much less guarantee a financial gain. You were informed, in advance of any contract for services, about the historical success rates of securing a license and of realizing a financial gain. The contracts for services repeatedly provide disclosures that there is no guarantee that a product will be licensed, or that a client will realize a financial gain. Unfortunately, the reality for most individuals is that their product does not get licensed.

For over 25 years, Davison has helped everyday people prepare and present their ideas to corporations, manufacturers, and retailers to see if they would be willing to license the product ideas. Our exclusive idea to product method is responsible for more products on the store shelves than any other competitor in this industry.

Davison Inventions's reply to: Stolen Invention????

The substance of your post is that there was a technical error during the process of your idea submission, and you are naturally concerned over the status of that submission. Initially, please accept our apology for any technical difficulties you may have experienced. While investigating the matter, your file has been closed. That investigation indicated that only your contact information was received. If you would like to submit your idea again, please contact the Legal Department so that your file can be re-opened.

As a general matter, when a client submits their idea, they do so pursuant to a Confidentiality Agreement. Under the express terms of the Agreement; “Davison will not use, disclose, license or sell this idea with out my [the client] express written permission.” Davison takes the obligation of confidentiality seriously, and abides by the terms of the Agreement. However, there are literally millions of issued patents, filed applications, and products in the market place. It is not uncommon for multiple people to have the same, or similar, idea. Davison can not be aware of, much less responsible for, the existence of every similar product that may exist. One of the objectives of Davison’s initial pre-development service is to provide the client with some understanding of the nature and extent of the “prior art”, so that they may be more informed before deciding to pursue further development of their idea.

For over 25 years, Davison has helped everyday people prepare and present their ideas to corporations, manufacturers, and retailers to see if they would be willing to license the product ideas. Our exclusive idea to product method is responsible for more products on the store shelves than any other competitor in this industry.

Yes i try to call mr jeffrey sawyer but he was not in his office..

Davison Inventions's reply to: Con Artist/Scam

At the outset, two points bear noting. First, immediately following your posting of this complaint, you contacted Davison and we were able to resolve issues. What gets posted on the internet remains forever; when baseless commentary is posted, the impact on the company is permanent. No amount of “gee I may have gone overboard” or “I guess I was mistaken” can properly undo the damage. A review of your file indicates that your requests of the company were addressed in a prompt manner and the project is moving forward. Second, you are technically not the client. The individual who acknowledged the various disclosures and signed the contract is in fact your wife, Kay.

We understand that customer service is vital in all businesses, and is imperative when operating a successful business. Customer concerns upset everyone and our staff works very hard to troubleshoot them so communication errors are kept to a minimum. From the time of an initial contact, through the research and development of a new product idea, to the presentation of a client’s product sample, we try to maintain an open channel of communication, disclosing our services and fee upfront and securing our clients’ approval and authorization throughout the process.

As with all individuals who electronically submit an idea to Davison, your wife was provided with, and she acknowledge having received and read, two disclosure statements. Among other details, the disclosures provide the statement that Davison does not evaluate the commercial potential of an idea. There is also a listing of all services offered and their related fees. It is not possible to be more upfront with potential clients about the fees. Further, this information is freely available on Davison’s website. Your wife contracted for and received research services in 2012 related to a product idea she submitted in 2011. Additional services were offered in 2012, though she declined. There has been no further communication until earlier this year. Your statement that there were interactions in 2015 and that you paid in excess of $1,500.00 is simply not accurate.

For over 25 years, Davison has helped everyday people prepare and present their ideas to corporations, manufacturers, and retailers to see if they would be willing to license the product ideas. Our exclusive idea to product method is responsible for more products on the store shelves than any other competitor in this industry.

Con Artist/Scam

I made the mistake of clicking and submitting a crazy idea for an invention to get a FREE gift from those survey sites. Davison Co called me to move forward on this idea.

After getting in dept with this idea, I thought I might have something. Davison Co moved forward with it. They asked for money to get it started. I gave them money.

Then they came back asking for more money after getting patent and licensing. I gave it. Then after receiving the report, I was asked for more money. I asked when does it end with ME giving money when I haven't made a dime.

I know it takes money to earn money, but at the rate Davison Co was going, I was going to go broke before I could even get this idea into production. Bottom line, Davison Co is like every other con artist out there. Fill you with promises, hopes, and dreams, long enough to empty your bank account. This happen back in 2015.

I had come to the grips of me losing over $1500, but once I received a phone call from a rep today wanting to move forward with my idea but asking for more money, I had to say something. #crooked

Loss:
$1500
Cons:
  • That they kept asking me for more money
  • Not telling me of extra charges
Reason of review:
Pricing issue

Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution

To Ronald Hodak – Report #1325434;

You are a valued client, and Davison looks forward to continuing its relationship with you in the development of your product idea. Your comment about a contingency fee arrangement is not relevant to the facts. Davison provides specific product development services, for which it charges a fee. There is nothing unusual or unreasonable about that. You were fully informed of the fee structure before you engaged any services.

As with all individuals who electronically submit an idea to Davison, you were provided with, and acknowledge having received and read, two disclosure statements. Among other details, the disclosures provide the statement that Davison does not evaluate the commercial potential of an idea. There is also a listing of all services offered and their related fees. It is not possible to be more upfront with potential clients about the fees. Further, this information is freely available on Davison’s website. You were free to accept or decline pursuing any contract. Having been fully informed of the fee terms, and having agreed to those terms, it is not reasonable to now debate whether different terms could have been offered.

For over 25 years, Davison has helped everyday people prepare and present their ideas to corporations, manufacturers, and retailers to see if they would be willing to license the product ideas. Our exclusive idea to product method is responsible for more products on the store shelves than any other competitor in this industry.

I have been in contact with a few different people. They make me feel that this idea is not worth going ahead with.

I live on disibilty and have for the 9 years. I have no $ left over at the end of the month to give anything. Literally no money. If it is such a good idea, I don't know why they cant go ahead with it and then I could repay all they want out of what my invention makes.

I am not asking for roylities up front. I just want to help save innocent lives. It seems that they tell me it is a great idea, but only really want my money. I am not asking for anything for free.

If it is such a good idea, then I can pay everything back after it gets on the market. I would think that they would like to see innocent people from {{redacted}} or injured because this device was not available.

It seems to me that it is all about the money. Wtf

Cons:
  • Hidden success stats
  • Scripted sales pitch
  • Being conned
Reason of review:
I have no $ to put upfront.

Davison Inventions's reply to: Working with Davidson

We would like to thank you for your positive comments about your experience with Davison and your insights on the new product development process. From the time of an initial contact, through the research and development of a new product idea, to the presentation of a client’s product sample, we try to maintain an open channel of communication, disclosing our services and fees upfront and securing our clients' approval and authorization throughout the process. Unfortunately, many individuals simply do not take into consideration the reality of the process; the time, effort and costs that are required. Inventing and new product development is not right for everyone. You have to be willing to accept that inventing is high risk with no guarantees of profits.

For over 25 years, Davison has helped everyday people prepare and present their ideas to corporations, manufacturers, and retailers to see if they would be willing to license the product ideas. Our exclusive idea to product method is responsible for more products on the store shelves than any other competitor in this industry.

Working with Davidson

I have been working with Davidson for a very long time and I paid them the required amount needed to get my invention moving. I have been informed of every step they have taken needed to move forward. I was allowed to pay my upfront agreement in payments which helped me so much since I am retired and only live on my retirement at this time. Brian has called and informed me of what each step is and what the next step will be.

If you want something to be done correctly then you have to be patient and persevere and trust who you are working with.

Nothing is accomplished in a day unless you are GOD.

Your idea came from GOD or you would not have had it, especially if it is going to make things easier for someone elses' life.

For humans it takes a lot longer than 3 weeks or 3 months. Hang in there and if it is suppose to be it will be. Love

Pros:
  • How brian is handling my invention
Reason of review:
Good customer service
