No matter what you try to do in life, there's always people and companies scamming people out of money. How does the laws/rules keep allowing these people to run their fake businesses? Why isn't it stopped?

Anyway, I almost got scammed completely by Invention Land aka Davidson. I gave them $685 that I will fight my credit card company back for.

So has anyone ever had a good experience with an invention company? Are there completely legit companies that will develop a product and get it out there for you?

Where do I go from here? They now have my idea and I want to still develop this, but I'm not sure what the first step is to get out of this Davidson contract and go on and do this the right way.

The only one I have seen so far that looks like a good and honest company to submit to is "The Big Idea Group".

It's not possible to know, without reviewing the contract, if you need to get out of it before proceeding. I suggest the following if you do need to ...

Step 1: Ask Davison to void the contract. This probably will not work, but it doesn't cost anything to ask and you might be surprised.
Step 2. Have a lawyer review the contract & have the lawyer ask Davison to void the contract, explaining why it is in their best interest to do so and avoid legal action.
Step 3. Take legal action to void the contract.

In the mean time, to proceed down the right path, start building your knowledge base by reading about the inventing process.

Thanks very much, so where do I read about the correct paths to the inventing process?

Seems like I need to start with a Patent Lawyer and go from there????

I think Tamara Monosoff's book "The Mom Inventors Handbook" is a really good book to start with, even if you're not a Mom.
