Are you a member of one of these Inventor Clubs?
http://inventoropinion.blogspot.com/201 ... ntors.html
During the month of September TeleBrands, The UIA, Innovators Warehouse and the Inventor’s Council of Cincinnati will be conducting the first ever product search exclusively for Inventor Clubs.
All members of these clubs can submit ASOTV product ideas through their clubs to TeleBrands! - The largest ASOTV Company in the world. But you have to be a member of one of these inventor clubs. So if you are a member contact your club president for all the details , and if you are not a member contact the club in your area and find out how you can become a member and take your shot at getting your invention on TV!
If you are one of the lucky 25 submissions selected by Telebrands, you will have the opportunity to travel to Cincinnati Ohio on October 11th and demonstrate your invention in person to AJ Khubani and his staff.
If AJ and his staff like what they see, they could offer you a contract to put your invention on TV at NO COST TO YOU! They take 100% of the risk.
Come visit my sites at http://www.RogerBrown.net
or http://www.looking2license.com
I have gotten 9 products licensed spending less than $100 on each, you can too.

The UIA UK cuts all association with the UIA
Dear Mr Pater,
In respect of your recent comments regarding the United Innovation Association UK’s (UIAUK) alleged links to the United Inventors Association USA (UIAUSA) I wish to offer the following statement;
The UIAUK was formed in March 2011, and as we intended to use similar branding to the UIAUSA, a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) with the UIAUSA which allowed us to use such branding without any breach of Intellectual Property rights, was required.
The UIAUK and the UIAUSA do not have any formal or legal ties to each other, except for the above mentioned and are in no way related in any company formation, therefore your recent accusations regarding our being complicit with the UIAUSA or its Chief Executive, Mark Reyland, are unfounded and untrue.
However, in light of matters arising recently and new information received by the UIAUK we feel that we are no longer able to continue to bear any resemblance to the UIAUSA in name, branding or image and would like to make it clear that any association with the UIAUSA or Mark Reyland has ceased with immediate effect.
The UIAUK is, and always will be, a credible, honest and hardworking association supporting invention and innovation, new ideas and design and will not participate in any activities which might show us as being anything less than this.
Yours Sincerely
Simon Brown
Founder & CEO

The UIAUK Parts Company with US Counterpart the UIAUSA

Today I received a standard subscriber email from the UIAUK United Innovation Association UK, an organisation aimed at helping UK innovators and inventors. The email said that the UIAUK would be parting company with the UIAUSA, United Inventors Association in the USA.
Part of the email stated:
[[color=#4000BF]color=#0000BF]
[i]“We accepted, in the belief that such a partnership would benefit the members of both organisations. We agreed to use similar logos & names and to share resources whilst in all other respects to remain independent of one another.”
“We entered into the relationship with UIAUSA in good faith. However recent issues arising necessitated that we reconsider our position.”
“After careful consideration we have taken the decision to withdraw from the MOA with immediate effect and to have no further dealings with the UIAUSA.
Having heard various rumours about the UIAUSA (which many of you may have also heard) including one directly via email from a US inventor (none which I can repeat publicly) I am curious to whether this will lead to further investigation into aspects of the organisation to clear up the issues openly once and for all.

Hey Mark!!
Thanks for the email--very interesting stuff. I actually have a ton of things going on at the Housewares Show(I'll attach some info) with lots of speakers and product reviewers. Let me know what you think! I only mentioned Warren Tuttle and Louis Foreman because I figured the folks on EN would recognize the names--but I thought in a good way
Your comments about the EN product searches are very similar to thoughts I have had about that whole process as well. Glad to know others think the same way about that.
Can you tell me more about you and your company?? Based on your response to the Pitchmen questions--it's pretty obvious you know your stuff. I work on trying to create events and educational opportunities to help inventors make good connections--perhaps there can be some synergy between us??
Thanks again for your feedback. It's always good to hear what folks are thinking and be exposed to the bigger picture!

Hi Jennifer,
I saw your post on EN about the invent 911 program. I could not help myself I have to comment.
First let me say I have been inventing and developing products for many years now, I have many products on store shelves and owning a product development company I get a front row seat to the process an inventor goes through when they develop a product for the market.
I have been working with these inventors for years, and I have to tell you Jennifer the last thing they need is more Louis Forman and the UIA . Neither of them know much at all about doing anything but feeding egos and lining pockets – certainly not the industry.
It is my professional opinion - the invention lottery of EN is a scam of the highest order serving as a front for Louis to obtain partial patent rights on other people’s inventions – a conclusion supported by the USPTO records showing he has filed over 180 new patents (not counting those under 18 months that have not published) in the last several years for “enhancements” to submitted ideas under a number of his employees names and assigned to shell companies.
Below are the links to the USPTO web site searches for Daniel Bizzell, Louis’s business partner. You will find several of his employees listed, but curiously enough never the inventor who submitted the idea.
This is a great example. This link is to the patent application for the Emory Cat product. http://appft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Pars ... iel%22&OS="bizzell,+daniel"&RS="bizzell,+daniel" You can see that it’s the exact design and lists all the parts and processes but the inventors listed are all either employees of Louis or associates. Where is the inventor who paid his 25 dollars and submitted the idea? Not listed – yet EN keeps peddling him to other inventors as if he is a great success story.
This link is a patent filed by Bizzell, and assigned to EN – you may recognize it from the Everyday Edison’s TV show – again, the real inventor is not even listed. http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Pars ... iel%22&OS="bizzell,+daniel"&RS="bizzell,+daniel"
These links are simple searches on Daniel Bizzell, as you can see, he has 107 applications on file and 75 awarded patents. Look through them and you will quickly see they are almost all related to the 25 dollar submissions and almost all have several members of his staff listed as inventors.

There are not as many professionals in this industry who will work with inventors simply because you can’t compete with the garbage being thrown around by the dozens of people in the industry like these guys. By the time an inventor comes to someone like me they have already either been ripped off by them, or filled with so much crap that simply isn’t true, it takes forever to just deprogram them into reality. I hear these stories every day Jennifer, someone needs to help these folks and it’s not Louis or the UIA.
On behalf of inventors all over this country – please don’t give these predators a base to work from. The inventors have a hard enough time as it is.
Thanks for your time Jennifer, and have a great show.

So now we recieve this email. It's not the first and certainly won't be the last. We all know who really has the accounts on ispot, right? Same guy who has (5 or more) on Edison Nation.So whoever posts on behalf of Mark, who we all don't know, is Mark under yet ANOTHER of his fictional profiles.
Go ahead Mark Reyland (AKA John Doe, AKA Heavy Chevy etc etc etc) Do you really think we haven't ALL traced your location over and over again?
Here's ONE of the many silly emails. Normally we all just ignore them. Funny how 'someone' enters the inventing community and is SO passionate about Mark Reyland that he spends his days threatening people who are trying to expose the very thing inventors should be worried about! It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this one out. I hope you find this as funny as I did.

Just thought I would give you an opportunity to respond prior to me making the next move. I have seen that Tania has taken a number of her posts down, but Gizmo has copied them and now pastes them over and over again as if they are something new or just to keep them on the top of the forum.
I also notice that neither of you do any of this on the Edisonnation forum because you know it is monitored. Well, since the Inventorspot forum is closed and I did not have an acoount set up yet you must feel you are safe to post what you like without any issues. I am happy to let you know I have been talking with several people on Inventorspot that have accounts and some are willing to act as my proxy and post items for me just to make things fair.
You both have seen fit to repeatedly bash people with nothing happening in return. That won't be true for long. If I don't see alot of the crap you two have posted being deleted I guess I need to start posting all the things from my blog onto the forum. Starting with the wonderful DUI picture. I am sure everyone there will love that picture and the write-up and want a copy for framing. Who knows, it could even show up on edisonnation. I am sure they will delete it but not before it is sent out to everyone on the forum. You know how that works right Gizmo? if you don't think I am serious look at my profile and pics on edisonnation. The great thing is that the five of us have accounts on Edisonnation so if I get banned there are still four more to post it.
As you have seen I always try and give you notice and a chance to correct things before I do what I state. As you will notice I have done exactly what I say I will. So it is up to you where this goes. I have noticed Tania, Stephen Key and Andrew Krauss are not saying anything on the forum. It is all you Gizmo. So are you going to cause them to have their names posted with yours on all those threads? the choice is yours. I already know what your answer will be because you are so easy to figure out, but I thought I would give Tania, Stephen Key and Andrew Krauss the choice.
You know where to reach me if you decide to answer back. I wouldn't wait real long.
Im not removing anything Ive posted because it's all true.... Ive been saving some emails that went back and forth between Mark and Richard I cant want to post.....
Then everyone will see how much of a scamming cheat crook he really is. http://markreylandemail.blogspot.com/

Hey Roger. Sorry Mark Reylands trashing yours and Jims CD set and calling you guys one of the many "charlatans" selling garbage to inventors for money. He's always after somebody. He also trashed, Stephen, Edison Nation, Patrick Raymond (invention Score), and many others with and without UIA memberships on and off the board of the UIA. Looks like he picks and chooses or changes his mind with the wind. Kind of unstable considering he endorses this tool kit on behalf of the UIA. Maybe next week he'll attack this same product just because he's bored.
Hmmmm why isnt Patrick Raymond's (Invention Score) program UIA Certified ????? It makes no difference to me. I do find it funny the UIA isnt giving him a hard time........

THE MARK REYLAND I KNOW
I hope most people understand that you can’t believe everything you read on the internet, good or bad. While the World Wide Web is an amazing source of information only a click away, and a great way for people to get the truth out, it is also a tool for people with dark motives to attack the credibility of others to serve their own agenda.
The following is a description of events that led to my introduction to Mr. Mark Reyland and The United Inventors Association.
I recently hired a company called Absolutely New Inc to market my products. One of the major factors that I considered before I hired them is that they were accredited with the United Inventors Association. It wasn't long before I began wondering what I had gotten myself into. Serena Soo the coordinator handling my products was giving me marketing materials to proof that looked like they were prepared by a third grader.
I pulled the contract that had been mailed to me out of the file to see if she was delivering the materials as promised. They were not. She was trying to pass off a one page concept sheet as the entire "marketing package". It was at this time that I discovered that a paragraph had been added to this last page of the contract that was sent to me by US mail that was not in the original contract that had been emailed to me by an employee named Dave Stickel.
With a little research I discovered that the paragraph added was a disclosure required by the American Inventors Protection Act of 1999 as well as California Business and Professions code. Shortly after this I discovered that Serena Soo had lied to me about her attendance at the Chicago House Wares Show. I was having a difficult time trying to work through these issues with Absolutley New’s Legal Councel Tony Flores and CEO Richard Donat so I decided I was going to sue them.
Before filing the suit I sent a demand letter. In response Absolutely New sent me a check for much less than my damages along with a letter full of mischaracterizations of the circumstances which were frankly insulting and untrue. However I decided to cash the check because after a little more research I found out that Absolutely New had been suspended by the Secretary of State. The suspension had been initiated by the Franchise Tax Board. This is done for one reason; failure to pay corporate taxes. I then filed papers with the Secretary to see Absolutely New's Surety Bond which is required by invention promotion firms in California and four other states. No Bond had been posted.
So I cashed the check even though I had rock solid evidence of the fraud and breach of contract that had been committed. A judgement does you no good if a company has no money, which appeared to be the case, and a chance I couldn't take.
The next thing I did was send a complaint to Mark Reyland of the United Inventors Association. Mr. Reyland called me the very next day. He was horrified about what had happened to me and assured me that the UIA would look into the matter and take the appropriate action if warranted. I have had several conversations with him and I can tell you that this man has integrity, he cares about the independent inventor, and he is on a mission to help clean up the industry of Invention Promotion
Company's. He has kept me informed every step of the way as to the action taken by the UIA against Absolutely New and recently informed me that Absolutely New is turning in their resignation as a certified member. He has assured me that the UIA will do the same for any other inventor, if presented with credible evidence of wrong doing by one of its certified members. The blogs I read on this site appear to be unfounded and written by a people with an ax to grind for some reason or other and in know way represent The Mark Reyland I know.
In closing, I wouldn't recommend AbsolutelyNew to my worst enemy if I had one, and my experience of Mark Reyland is a that he is a stand up guy.

While the World Wide Web is an amazing source of information only a click away, and a great way for people to get the truth out, it is also a tool for people with dark motives to attack the credibility of others to serve their own agenda.
The following is a description of events that led to my introduction to Mr. Mark Reyland and The United Inventors Association.
I recently hired a company called Absolutely New Inc to market my products. One of the major factors that I considered before I hired them is that they were accredited with the United Inventors Association. It wasn't long before I began wondering what I had gotten myself into. Serena Soo the coordinator handling my products was giving me marketing materials to proof that looked like they were prepared by a third grader.
I pulled the contract that had been mailed to me out of the file to see if she was delivering the materials as promised. They were not. She was trying to pass off a one page concept sheet as the entire "marketing package". It was at this time that I discovered that a paragraph had been added to this last page of the contract that was sent to me by US mail that was not in the original contract that had been emailed to me by an employee named Dave Stickel.
With a little research I discovered that the paragraph added was a disclosure required by the American Inventors Protection Act of 1999 as well as California Business and Professions code. Shortly after this I discovered that Serena Soo had lied to me about her attendance at the Chicago House Wares Show. I was having a difficult time trying to work through these issues with Absolutley New’s Legal Councel Tony Flores and CEO Richard Donat so I decided I was going to sue them.
Before filing the suit I sent a demand letter. In response Absolutely New sent me a check for much less than my damages along with a letter full of mischaracterizations of the circumstances which were frankly insulting and untrue. However I decided to cash the check because after a little more research I found out that Absolutely New had been suspended by the Secretary of State. The suspension had been initiated by the Franchise Tax Board. This is done for one reason; failure to pay corporate taxes. I then filed papers with the Secretary to see Absolutely New's Surety Bond which is required by invention promotion firms in California and four other states. No Bond had been posted.
So I cashed the check even though I had rock solid evidence of the fraud and breach of contract that had been committed. A judgement does you no good if a company has no money, which appeared to be the case, and a chance I couldn't take.
The next thing I did was send a complaint to Mark Reyland of the United Inventors Association. Mr. Reyland called me the very next day. He was horrified about what had happened to me and assured me that the UIA would look into the matter and take the appropriate action if warranted. I have had several conversations with him and I can tell you that this man has integrity, he cares about the independent inventor, and he is on a mission to help clean up the industry of Invention Promotion
Company's. He has kept me informed every step of the way as to the action taken by the UIA against Absolutely New and recently informed me that Absolutely New is turning in their resignation as a certified member. He has assured me that the UIA will do the same for any other inventor, if presented with credible evidence of wrong doing by one of its certified members. The blogs I read on this site appear to be unfounded and written by a people with an ax to grind for some reason or other and in know way represent The Mark Reyland I know.
In closing, I wouldn't recommend AbsolutelyNew to my worst enemy if I had one, and my experience of Mark Reyland is a that he is a stand up guy.
