Unfortunately nothing has changed with Davison I'm not surprised because the only time they communicate is when your paying them.
To: Davison Innovations DavisonRIDC Park595 Alpha Dr.Pittsburgh, PA 15238-****Subject: Formal Complaint and Refund RequestDear Davison Business Owner, I am writing to formally request an immediate refund of 89% to 95% of the $8,815 paid to your company. I have been exceedingly patient throughout this process, but after careful review, I cannot accept the lack of deliverables in exchange for the significant amount I have paid.Despite your claims of working closely with business owners on my family’s sauce, I was not included in any such meetings, nor has I seen evidence of the progress you mentioned.
Since 2019, I have been waiting for tangible results, yet all I have received are a book and a few documents—none of which justify the amount paid.To make matters worse, in September 2024, you informed me of an issue regarding licensing, which had never been mentioned before. If this was a concern, why did your company accept the payment in the first place? Furthermore, your suggestion that I could have sold my sauce on Amazon nearly five years later is deeply frustrating, as I expected more from a company that portrays itself as an expert in product development.I also want to point out that I was asked to give positive reviews based on promises that my family’s sauce would be a success. Unfortunately, these promises have not been fulfilled, and I now feel misled.
Additionally, the high turnover rate at your company and the departure of key individuals like Matt raise further concerns about the internal stability of your business.I have read numerous customer reviews that echo my experience, indicating that this is not an isolated issue. Many customers are also seeking refunds due to dissatisfaction with your services, which makes me wonder if this situation could be considered for a class-action lawsuit.I expect all my files and documentation related to this matter to be sent to me promptly so that I can review the entirety of what has been done. Based on the minimal work received, I do not believe the $8,815 paid was warranted, and I demand a refund immediately.Sincerely,Michael WhitleyResponding to: Subject: Response to Refund DenialDear Mr. DeMay,Thank you for your response.
However, I must respectfully disagree with your assertion that there is no basis for a refund. While I acknowledge the approvals provided throughout the design process, I do not believe these approvals or the services rendered justify the total cost of $8,815, nor do they reflect the expectations set by Davison Design and Development, Inc.The deliverables I received—such as the ideation sketches, virtual renderings, and executive briefing—are not proportionate to the substantial investment I made. Additionally, I was led to believe there would be far more involvement in the actual product development and commercialization process, which was not the case. I had no direct interaction with the businesses or corporations allegedly contacted on my behalf, nor was I given any significant updates beyond vague statements about the "reactive" status of the project.
This has been an ongoing issue since 2019.Furthermore, I was only informed about the supposed licensing issue in September 2024, despite this being a fundamental concern that should have been addressed much earlier. If licensing was a problem, why did Davison accept payment and proceed without mentioning it until several years later?While I did provide positive feedback during the process, this was based on promises and expectations that my product would be successfully developed and brought to market—none of which have come to fruition. I feel misled by the promises made and the lack of transparency throughout the process. Additionally, I now realize that many other customers have faced similar issues, as evidenced by multiple online reviews.Given the lack of meaningful results after nearly five years and the fact that the services rendered fall far short of the $8,815 charged, I believe there is indeed a valid basis for a refund.
I am requesting that Davison issue an immediate refund of 89% to 95% of the amount paid, as the work provided does not reflect the value promised.Please also send me all files and documentation related to my project, as I will be reviewing the entirety of what has been done.Michael WhtleyEmail from: David M. DeMayAssociate CounselMr. Whitley –I am legal counsel for Davison Design and Development, Inc. (Davison) and am responding to your recent request for a refund.
There is no basis for a refund. All services have been completed with your express written approval and authorization. Further, you have provided positive feedback regarding these services. Any retrospective belief that “more should have been done” is purely speculative and provides no valid argument to support a refund from services rendered.Specifically, during the design process, you provided written approval of the Preliminary Ideation Sketch, written approval of the Preliminary Virtual Rendering, written approval of the Industrial Ideation Sketch and written approval of the Industrial Virtual Rendering.
After completion of the design, you were provided with an Executive Briefing. You completed a questionnaire about this Executive Briefing providing positive feedback and then you provided written authorization to proceed with the presentations of your product idea. The presentations were made according to the terms of the contract. To date, no corporation has expressed an interest in further reviewing or licensing your product idea.
The project is now in a ”reactive” stage where updates are provided only in the event a corporation contacts Davison to express interest in the product idea.These details were explained to you in the company’s response to your compliant on PissedConsumer.com and the “reactive” status of the project was explained to you in an email from Davison’s licensing department in May 2024. Davison has performed all contracted services per the terms of the agreements and with you express approval and authorization. There is simply no basis to support a claim for a refund.
Sincerely,David M. DeMayAssociate Counsel

Pittsburgh, PA 15238-**** Subject: Formal Complaint and Refund Request
Dear Davison Business Owner,
My name is Michael Whitley, and I am writing to formally file a complaint against Davison Innovation. I am requesting a refund of at least 90% of the total amount I paid, which is $8,815.
My payments to Davison Innovation began in 2019, with the final payment submitted in 2022.
Throughout this period, I made numerous follow-up phone calls and sent several emails requesting updates on the progress of selling my idea. Unfortunately, these efforts have been met with little to no response, leaving me feeling hopeless and manipulated. The financial strain caused by the payments to Davison Innovation has been significant, adding considerable stress to my family. We had hoped to see a return on this investment, but instead, we have been left in a precarious situation.
Initially, Davison Innovation was highly supportive and communicative during the payment process.
However, once the final payment was made, I experienced considerable difficulty in contacting my assigned representative. This lack of communication became particularly challenging during the COVID-19 pandemic when jobs were being cut, and financial resources were depleted. My family and I had decided to pursue entrepreneurship, and it was during this time that I engaged with Davison Innovation.
Each interaction with your team felt rushed and insincere, with no meaningful updates provided. The $8,815 I paid could have gone towards essential expenses such as mortgage payments, bills, and food for my children.
I find it troubling that Davison Innovation would continue to accept payments without any intention or ability to bring my idea to fruition.
I communicated with Mat Alwine on several occasions, and his focus was entirely on ensuring payments were made. He claimed to have multiple leads, but there was no evidence to support this. He also mentioned that he had shared my product with various business owners, yet there was no documentation or proof provided. On one occasion, Mat informed me that the bottles needed for my product were broken, and he presented me with a booklet portfolio, which he said was meant to show business owners.
This felt like a scam, as there was no documentation of any actual reviews or interest in my product. Eventually, Mat left the company, and I was not informed of this change.
Lindsay Leda was then assigned to my case, but despite this, I received no phone calls or updates. I had to personally seek out information on who was handling my case. Since her assignment, Lindsay has been unresponsive and unhelpful, showing little to no knowledge of my case.
At this point, I am no longer willing to continue requesting updates or waiting for Davison Innovation to bring my idea to fruition.
I demand an immediate refund and am not interested in any further delays. Please consider this as my final request for a refund. If there are any questions regarding the payment methods, please contact me directly.
I will not tolerate any further deceit or manipulation from Davison Innovation.
I am aware that I am not alone in filing such a complaint. Davison Innovations - Customer Reviews
It is disheartening to know that Davison Innovation takes money from individuals with families to care for, all while having no real intention of assisting them in bringing their ideas to life.
Sincerely,
Michael Whitley

Verified ReviewerCurrently in the process of working with Davison
I've received a call today from the licensing team member, Donald Cinkan, and he was very helpful. I asked him if I'd be able to get the prototype for presenting at tool showcasing shows personally, which he said I would be able to do but advised against me doing, due to the fact that companies may see my idea and tweak it. He then offered to have me talk to another department to talk about producing and shelving the tool through Davison itself, which I will look into and see what they have to say.
I'm not slandering the company or making accusations, nor am I yet to state my satisfactory with the company, I'm simply sharing my experience with them so far and where I'm currently at with them on my journey.
First off I'd like to state that I'm very confident in my idea. I know the idea does not exist and that it is an extremely useful tool within the construction field, and that it would revolutionize the digital level and it's usefulness.
I've worked the construction field for 6+ years and have never seen the tool on the field, nor have I ever found anything close to similar to it in my extensive searches for such a thing.
I called multiple companies and even a few patent attorneys before making my decision to go with Davison, I believe in 2021. I didn't state my idea on the website's application page, I wanted some sort of legal documentation before throwing my idea out to a company I didn't know. I was shortly after contacted by Mr. Gary Dufour, which is the reason I chose to share my idea and invest in this company, because he was very easy to talk with, understanding, and genuine.
Mr. Dufour mailed me the paperwork to sign off on, so I shared my idea with him, and he seemed to completely understand what the tool's use was, what it was needed for, and how handy it would be in the construction field. He kept in contact with me regularly, about once a month, and always replied nearly immediately if I ever was the one to try to contact him.
I don't remember the exact order of things but I was sent many papers to sign off on throughout the process, asked to make a sketch and description of my idea of the tool, and I paid a small fee for them to do a background check of other patents that existed that may be the same or similar to mine. We eventually began payments, which they gave me options, and the ability to pay in installments.
I ended up paying around $14,000 in a little over the course of a year, agreeing that I would take 80% of any of the royalties the tool made(if bought and sold by any companies), and Davison would take the other 20%.
After fully finishing my payments, which like I said took a bit over a year, they began the next stage of development, which I believe was the 3D modeling phase. They sent me emails with the models, allowed me to request any changes if I wanted, and then I signed off on them once I was satisfied with the rendering. They did a very good job at creating the model, to which they even sent me the blueprints of the products design. The next step was creating the prototype and packaging.
Things were moving and I was feeling hopeful. They sent me pictures of the prototype and packaging, which I felt great about. In my mind the Davison Invention company were miracle workers and I was ready for us to start making our earnings as a team together.
But there was another phase of filing for a provisional patent, which was another few hundred dollars(which understandably is needed for presenting to companies), then onto presenting MY IDEA TO THE BIG COMPANIES!
They kept me updated every month with a list of who they presented my idea to and also... how many companies picked up my idea.( 0 ) Eventually as time went on I was just told if anything changes then they'll contact me rather than the frequent monthly calls.
I started to lose faith in my idea, thinking maybe I overlooked something and the tool already exists. Why else would a big tool conglomerate like Klein turn down such a genius idea? I eventually figured I'd just forget about my "genius idea" and just move on with life.
The sad truth is that having an idea and trying to do your best at making something of it is a long, grueling and agonizing process of paranoia, anxiety and self-doubt. It feels like anyone could stab you in the back, it's scary, and for me it feels like everybody thinks you're naive and don't support you.
That's part of the reason I went with Davison, they make the whole roller coaster of a ride feel like it's on track and not just a complete car wreck. The problem is that you are actually in a car wreck the entire time, but they do such a good job at helping you believe in your idea that you think the car wreck is a roller coaster. And that's not their fault, you should believe in your idea, but this kind of stuff doesn't just happen. There's a lot of work that's put into it by this company that goes unseen, and it seems like people(including myself) just want them to snap their fingers and have their product sold.
The past few days I've been trying to get in contact with them because I know I can make this happen.
Mr. Dufour has answered my text message yesterday, but I have yet to get on the phone with anyone.
My current plan is to ask for the prototype so that I can take a road trip with a great friend I just met and bring it to some of these new tool showcase shows and start making him, Gary and myself the money that I know this tool will bring us. And hopefully I can come back and leave an updated success story to help give some hope to anyone that's taken a chance with their idea with the Davison company.
- Honestly i cant say there are any as of right now
Preferred solution: The prototype created of my tool idea
User's recommendation: Don't invest unless you truly believe in your idea, and try to do it yourself before turning to anyone else. Be ready for paranoia and anxiety as well.

Verified ReviewerPoor business execution
No feedback from Davison I'm waiting for them to explain to me why they treat good people this way that rely on them
I am shocked and disappointed by Davison's treatment, considering my ongoing financial investments. Despite losing my Fruit Punch BBQ sauce, I continued to collaborate in good faith.
However, their actions are unacceptable, hurtful, and reflect a disturbing pattern of exploitation. I request the immediate refund of $8,815.00.
Someone, please help me get closure from Davison. They ripped me off and broke my heart.

Inventionland Fraud /Davison
Michael Macel,a representative for Davison at Inventionland,are frauds.When I presented my idea to them,they tell you in phase1,after giving them 800.00,that your idea would be sketched,and patented,with a portfolio.Well I never received any of these things,and I received a portfolio of someone else's product.Then finally after a few phone calls,which I knew was leading up to more money,they asked for 5,000 dollars on a product that took only 20.00 to make.So now I can't continue with phase 2,and I lost 800.00,and my product is now hitting the stores,and nothing was done with my 800.00.Please do not ever give these people your money....Scam!!!!!!

Did not receive services as proposed
Submitted Patented idea to Davison, in hopes of working with them for licensing product (hair accessory organizer case). Made it quite easy for them by sending design specs, picture of what it should look like.
After they were paid in full the flat fee $13+ after two months of constant calls, asking has anything been accomplished-they sent me picture of some *** looking case that did not even resemble my idea, wanting me to sign off on it! I requested that they would do design according to specs I sent, they are refusing to do it, very suspicious of their real motives, to steal inventors ideas!
Davison didn't fulfill their contract
I contracted Davison to design & build a prototype for me. After promising me a "Brainstorming session" with designers at the onset, they refused all attempts I made to have the brainstorming session, refused to share any information on what they were doing, refused to provide budget a& timeline information on the work they were supposedly doing for me and instead went on to design a totally different product than I contracted them to do, refused to show that to me until they completed the packaging design for a company they planned to offer it to!
When finally showed their design, it wasn't even a design at all! It was a graphic picture of a product with a totally different name that did not even perform my ideas main function! Then tried to hit me up for more money. I did not approve of what they were trying to deliver and told them so by telephone, email and registered mail.
They told me they were arranging a conversation for me with their president Mr. Davison back in July but never did. Then had the nerve to try and offer me a coupon for a discount for additional services. I reminded them they still hadn't fulfilled their initial obligation and that I planned to turn the matter over to my attorney.
Now, after I tell their vice president that I want my money back or I'm handing it over to my attorney, I get this letter offering to stall yet once again for a phone call from the President, this time Frank Vescio. I was actually in the middle of preparing the timeline of my dealings with Davison & collecting evidence my attorney asked me to provide to him for the letter he is preparing for Davison to initiate a lawsuit for my money back, when I saw this posting.

Full refund
Would like to get my $795 back
Sure would like to know how I could get my $795 back. Scam artists that like to make people feel ***, part of their scam.
I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason.
The reason I was scammed by Davison, was to teach me the lesson of checking businesses out before giving them my hard earned money.
I feel blessed that I was smart enough to check them out before giving them $14,000 for the next part of development.
I feel so sorry for the people with the horror stories, Davison taking their life's savings, paid $14,000 and no product ever produced, etc.. I do not understand how anyone working for Davison sleeps at night!!

Davidson Law suit with FTC
I am very pissed off at this company. I am a single mother who worked very hard to be able to give them $10,000 to invent the SPIN BRUSH.
They said they did a title search....another $600. Couldn't figure out how to make it so I have to send them a device, where they could make it. Then I got a phone call.. stating they could not make the product and refused to tell me why.
They pushed me hard on another version of the product... and got me to sign off on it. Within one year my product was selling in stores all over.. along with commercials and everything.
I wish that I could find out if their so called relationships with vendors was to steal ideas from poor people and get even more from rich people. Plus, the ftc sued them, I got a letter settlement for $200 .... do you think I even got that back????
No now we have the lawyers taking the money.... What kind of world do we live in!!!

Scamed us out of money
Davidson Design and Development Inc. 595 Alpha Drive, Pittsburgh, Pa. 15238
In the summer and fall of 2014 my associate and I spent numerus phone conversations with the Vice President of New Products, Chad Murray, who assured us that Davidson Design and Development Inc. would make us a lot of money. Mr. Murray also, assured my associate and myself that his company would be more then adequate to take my product and have it on the market in a short period of time. It is now June of 2016 and they are no closer to that goal then it was 2 years ago. My product had already been patented, field tested and marketed, but I was still required to put money up front for them to do research and development. To this day, Davidson Design and Development Inc. has not done any research or development that I have any knowledge of. On December 3, 2014 I signed a contract with Davidson Design and Development Inc. and paid an additional $8.000.00. I was contacted on a WEEKLY basis and assured that a team of individuals were working on getting the product ready to present to a manufacturer and distributor. In February of 2015 I delivered to Mr. Murray a feeder to use to speed up the process that is valued over $500.00. I wasted over 500 hours on the phone with Mr. Murray and all I got in return was two inferior pictures, or what they call renditions. My time is worth $100.00 per hour. (I am now into this scam company for over $50,000.00) Then in November of 2015 I received the first rendition. It was inadequate to say the least. It had patent pending on it and to this day I have not received an adequate explanation why that was on a product that already had been patented. It indicates to me that they were going to try and steel my patent. I refused to sign such an inferior rendition and then six months latter another rendition was sent to me, which was worse than the first. I expressed my dissatisfaction with the whole process. I received the same run around or double talk that I had heard for two years. On May 17, 2016 I sent Mr. Murry an email that I put in writing what I wanted to continue. In short, either a set time line on father actions or my money back. (I still have the email I sent if needed) He contacted me twice to get me to talk to the President of New Products Frank Vescio. After spending another five hours in emails that I have kept to show how ridiculous the whole process was. Mr. Vesico called me on May 27, 2016 and all but threated me by saying he was going to do what he wanted to, no matter what I wanted. To this day all I can verify that Davidson Design and Development Inc. did was computer generate two pictures; I could have had done in 48 hours, for less that $100.00. This is differently not what I paid for and is not worth the money I paid this scam company.
I will make it simple I do not trust Davidson Design and Development Inc. to fulfill anything, I WANT ALL MY MONEY BACK.
