They offer a search and help with the patent and trademark faze...They have called me a number of times for me to send them signed contracts and money to do the legal end of it. They say I have a very very interesting product...but they want alot of money to do this for me..Can you help? I really dont want to put the name down, anyone else have this happen to them? I have searched the other sites in regards to this but have come up with nothing substancial. : Dear Mr. Bateman, : The Better Business Bureau may be a good place to start. The infomation I have is thaan one in ten : thousand make more than they pay. There are registered patent lawyer who may also encourage you to file patent application and get patent for you that are worthless too. This may even be legal. It took 25 years to put the last bunch of promoters out of business. : A check with the patent office may at least reveal it a Register Patent lawyer you are dealing with has be subject to professional complaints. : I believe the the costs of legitimate representation and the patent promoters are about the same. : We havae developed the Reality Check® specifically to deal with situations such as this. : M.
