DEADLY MISTAKE #1

How This Chamber Works

This isn’t a normal web page – it’s a training chamber. The list on the left is your map of chapters. Right now the Introduction and Davison section are open. The InventHelp and World Patent Marketing sections are locked.

To open the InventHelp section you’ll later answer a simple recall question based on Davison’s own published figures. There are no trick questions – it just confirms you were looking at the numbers, not only the story.

As you move through the chamber, this panel may also show extra material – screenshots of figures, key documents, or pages SHIINE® is basing everything on.

The Organized Illusion

Here you see how Davison’s main service is presented on the surface – the marketing, the sense that success is “right around the corner”, to make the inventor want to move forward – and then you look directly at their own published figures for that service.

This is the moment where the marketing story and the numerical reality first collide.

Updated Figures (2023)

This chapter moves forward in time and looks at Davison’s more recent five-year figures. You’re asking a simple question: did the pattern change, or did the underlying odds for inventors stay essentially the same? Or did they even get worse?

Staggering Statistics

Here you examine additional figures most people never notice, and what they imply when you follow them through.

FTC vs Davison

This chapter looks at the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s case against Davison and the federal court’s findings. The court initially ordered $26 million in consumer redress in a case brought by the FTC; the matter was later settled for $10.7 million.

Opens in a focused viewer so you don’t lose your place in the chamber.

Why Inventors Still Miss It

Finally, you look at why so many inventors move forward even after seeing the figures, and what it means that you have not.

InventHelp Success Rates (2008-10)

In this video, you’ll see the George Foreman marketing video for InventHelp. Then you’ll immediately see InventHelp’s figures and success rate for the 2008-10 period.

Early Run-In With The FTC

Rumour has it that InventHelp ‘settled’ to pay $1.2 Million, after being investigated by the Fderal Trade Commission (FTC). Find out more about that here.

InventHelp Annual Turnover

In this video, we’ll estimate InventHelp’s annual turnover, based on their 2008-2010 figures. But wait until you see the ‘update’ video later on in this section, which seems to suggest they turnover far more per year than the estimate in this video.

Huge Update

Updates on legal action vs InventHelp, success rate updates, and an update to InventHelp’s estimated annual turnover that seems to mean they’re turning over multiple tens of millions of dollars from inventors like you, per year.

Pirates Turnover Per Day

A staggering statistic that makes you realise what ‘big business’ it is, making money from inventors with dreams.

Updated Success Rates (2022-24)

This chapter moves forward in time and looks at InvenHelp’s more figures from 2022-24, compared to the earlier figures shown in this chapter. Did they get better? Did they get worse? The truth might shock you.

Class Action Lawsuit Vs InventHelp

A class action lawsuit was launched against InventHelp. You’ll see who launched it against inventHelp, what their accusations were, and the amount of money that InventHelp paid as set out in the class action settlement.

The Strange ‘Zero Successes’ Quote

This video explores a strange quote that appears in more than one of the class action lawsuit complaints against InventHelp.

Zero Successes ($26 Million)

The story of World Patent Marketing may be the darkest story of all of them in the start-up inventor industry, revealing how vulnerable new inventors can be, and how predatory some so-called ‘invention help’ companies can be.
