FundaGeek & Conman Mark Reyland Gets Questioned By Inventor On LinkedIn

WOW...This crowd funding thing is launching like a rocket. But people need to know how best to use it.                   

                        Inventor John Young's Digging in the Rats Nest AGAIN,

john Young

The other is { The Flip Sided Quilting Rulers }, I contacted the inventor and apparently you DO NOT have the contract on that either, another fraudulent claim . NOT selling in retail. Again in violation of the UIA code of ethics.

                     Reyland posted this on Edison Nation about a year ago!
UPDATE: Since I wrote this (several months ago) we have licensed the entire line of FlipSide (www.flipsiderulers.com) quilting rulers to a manufacturer in California, and 4 additional quilting products I developed for my quilting friends to the largest quilting products manufacturer in the world (Prym Dritz).The lesson here is that sometimes you have to immerse yourself in the consumer’s world to truly understand what they want.

The REAL lesson here is BEWARE of Mark Reyland. Everything that comes out of his MOUTH is Bull$hit!

We wonder what Inventor Roger Brown thinks of his Buddy Reyland now! Louis Foreman & Matt Spangard from EDISON NATION/ENVENTYS need to take Brown down to the closest river and wash his Dirty Face & Hands off  after playing with Conman Reyland!

               http://www.edisonnation.com/posts?q=flipside+rulers&commit=Search


The other { Nova eye glass pads } you have listed as patented. A utility patent. but my searching cant find any such patent. Anyway can you get a utility patent on eye glass pad's ? And again they are NOT selling in retail. Here's the link to that :

                               http://www.matchproduct.com/Products/Detail/640

If there is no patent on the Nova eye glass pad"s, Once more a fraudulent claim, and in violation of the UIA code of ethics.

Now your { Twist Cap"s },where are they selling. No where that I can find in retail, and they have no IP protection as none of your other products do.

Actually only 2 products are yours as far as I know. and NONE are selling in retail as you claim on your biography, yet again a fraudulent claim. And inviolation of UIA code of ethics.

{ In addition to his role with the UIA, Mr. Reyland is an accomplished inventor with {{many retail products on the market }}, and CEO of Obvious Ideas LLC, a Cincinnati based Product Development Company. }

So there's 4 violations of the UIA's code of ethics by the Executive Director
Mark Reyland.

UIA Code of Ethics
# I. Personal and Professional Integrity

All staff, board members, members, and volunteers of the United Inventors Association (UIA) act with honesty, integrity and openness in all their dealings as representatives of the UIA. The UIA promotes a working environment that values respect, fairness and integrity.

II. Governance

The UIA has an active governing body that is responsible for setting the mission and strategic direction of the UIA and oversight of the finances, operations, and policies of
the UIA. The governing body:
# 2 Ensures that its board members have the requisite skills and experience to carry out their duties and that all members understand and fulfill their governance duties acting for the benefit of the UIA and its public purpose;

Is responsible for the electing and regular review of the performance of the president,
Ensures that the president and executive director provide the governing body with timely and comprehensive information so that the governing body can effectively carry
out its duties
# 3 Ensures that the UIA conducts all transactions and dealings with integrity and honesty

# 4 Ensures that the UIA promotes working relationships with the president, executive director, board members, service providers, and members that are based on mutual respect, fairness and openness;

Ensures that the UIA is fair and inclusive in its hiring and promotion policies and
practices for all staff and volunteer positions
Ensures that policies of the UIA are in writing, clearly articulated and officially adopted;
Ensures that the resources of the UIA are responsibly and prudently managed; and,
Ensures that the UIA has the capacity to carry out its programs effectively.

I was just wondering about this.

Problem is it was wrong to put Mark Reyland in the Provisional patent application to begin with and they both knew it!  We found the following on YouTube:

United Inventors Association.....TROUBLE

Knives out for US inventor service company CEO

Trouble at t' US invention mill

Inventors and bar-room brawl aficionados could do worse than look in on this discussion forum – at the time of writing, 258 comments and rising fast – where several members of the United States inventor community are busy smashing furniture and filling the air with oaths, accusations, passion, libel, illiteracy and incoherence. The title of the discussion – reproduced here exactly as written – is:

Would You Call DAVIDSON INVENTION SUBMISSION COMPANY..” One Of Your OWN “. And Praise Them For Biulding A Cool Place With Inventor RIP OFF MONEY.

Explanation follows, but the capitals alone give some sense of the pressure about to blow.
The focus of it all is Mark Reyland, CEO of the United Inventors Association of America. He wrote a blog piece praising well-known US inventor services outfit Davison (not Davidson). They, it appears, are not held in high esteem by inventor John Young, who then kicked off the discussion. Hence the title.
But forget Davison. John Young’s main target is Mark Reyland. Why? The precise reason is unclear to say the least, but the direction of travel of John’s loathing is beyond doubt. And it’s evidently shared by other US inventors.
                           Inventors united against United Inventors
We can’t say we’re too surprised at the strength of feeling. Mark Reyland has recent form in the UK thanks to his worthless and time-wasting (non)sponsorship of Simon Brown’s Inventor Forum (see earlier post).

What seems to be happening now is that several US inventors who also have a bone to pick with Reyland are jointly challenging him to justify his claim to be a big wheel in the US inventor services world, and to respond to a number of allegations of sharp practice.

To give Reyland his due, he’s willing to answer back: but in more than one name, never to the point, and in an irrational and provocatively ad hominem manner that merely adds fuel to the fire.
Unfortunately – or fortunately, if it’s entertainment you’re after – several of his adversaries can easily match his inflammatory ramblings and taunts with their own, which makes the ‘discussion’ somewhat difficult to follow. (An honourable exception is inventor and entrepreneur Nancy Tedeschi, who is doing her patient best to get answers from Mark Reyland by asking nicely. With no success whatsoever.)
                                    Inventor services company in name only?
Throwing all legal caution to the winds (when in Rome…), our own take on the shenanigans is this:
First, the United Inventors Association of America may be more smoke and mirrors than reality. Despite its ‘board of directors’ we’d bet that for all practical purposes UIA is Mark Reyland and no one else.

Second, Mark Reyland is a paranoid fantasist who mistakenly thinks he’s very clever in his use of multiple personalities and other forms of fakery to keep his plates spinning.
Yes, it’s that bad.

One can speculate on how many screws might be loose, but our guess is that for Mr Reyland the priority is seeking attention, not making money. And boy, is he getting a lot of attention right now. That probably makes him a happy, if disturbed, bunny while leaving his more mercurial adversaries raging and frothing impotently. Thus, stalemate rather than checkmate.

Our own ten pennorth of advice was to have UIA tax returns checked for any irregularities. That’s how they got Al Capone, after all. But Capone had assets. We suspect that any serious investigation of UIA will discover that it has no real substance, which might account for the inability so far for critics to deliver a knockout blow.

Other than that, starving the man of attention will probably have more effect than feeding him yet more of the oxygen of publicity that he craves. But as other posters seem unable to get that message, fat chance of a speedy end to all the increasingly futile exchanges. This show will run and run!
Do we have an equivalent situation in the UK? Not that we know of. But when it comes to unanswered questions there is always Nesta, which will be the subject of our next post

Inventor Mr.Roger Brown ....Staff Member for The United Inventors Association!

Well it looks like inventor Mr. Roger Brown “is” part of the United Inventors Association. Gizmo was correct with his accusations. Check out the email address below.

The "assmole" keeps asking for the proof…well here it is Ladies  & Gentlemen. This pretty much indicates his nose is up Mark Reylands rear end at the UIA...just as we thought! We wonder if Reyland wipes the Mole's face off when he's climbs out!
Maybe thats how he got the name BROWN.

United Inventors Association..Super Inventor HERO Mark Reyland....Gets Slapped By The EDISON NATION Members.. AGAIN!

                   When will he LEARN to Stop Raining on Edison Nation's Parade ?

By Super Inventor Hero "Mark Reyland:

Actually the blog post was not an attempt to degrade EN or anyone else. It mentions no names and has no links. If it appeared that way I apologize.....Again

What it was, was simply an illustration of the addictive emotion inventors feel in this and many other facets of the inventing process – it’s no different outside of EN.

What I do hope people realize is that although this process is one way to achieve some level of success. Historically inventors who are successful achieve it by educating themselves on the process of commercialization and understanding the many ways to take products to market. Then they develop a process that works for them, repeat it, and get very good at it. Maybe for some of you that’s EN.

If EN works for you I think that’s great, and by all means keep at it. But while you’re checking your dashboard just take a little time to keep educating yourself on the processes – it can’t hurt.
I am in no way anti EN, in fact Louis sits on the board of the UIA and EN is an active UIA member. I have however been critical in the past of what appears to be a lack of full disclosure on their part to the people participating.
EN employees do in fact show up 751 times on patents and applications currently filed with the USPTO- as searched in the USPTO database
Employee/ Position/ # of patents/ Applications
Ashley Tilley PR Specialist 1 2
Carole Ruffin Industrial Designer 11 15
Chris Adams Web Designer 1 4
Chris Hoy Engineer 14 16
Daniel Bizzell Industrial Designer 100 146
David Berglund Engineer 8 6
Ian Kovacevich Engineer 74 131
Juan Marin Graphic Designer 1 2
Kevin Dahlquist Engineer 38 47
Louis Foreman CEO, Enventys 12 23

Meredith Beck PR Specialist 1 2

Ryan Gorman Product Manager 3 5
Jason Huneycutt Engineer 3 6
Tom Philpott Engineer 31 4

http://inventorsspot.blogspot.com/
Total 300 451


Louis has in fact applied for a patent on the submission of ideas to companies that, if awarded, may have some effect on everyone’s ability to submit ideas freely to other companies. (In all fairness we don’t know that it will)

And EN did in fact change their contract to “purchase” your submission instead of representing you as an inventor in direct response to inquiries from the NC Attorney General, and to avoid compliance with the Inventor Protection Act – that would have required them to tell you as consumers what your probability of success is using the EN system.

These are simple facts, and I am IN NO WAY SAYING EN HAS DONE ANYTHING ILLEGAL – I don’t believe they have. However, as with all companies who solicit money from inventors, we would like the inventor to have all the facts and be able to make informed decisions – that’s all. It has nothing to do with like or dislike of anyone.

http://adealwithmarkreyland.blogspot.com/?zx=e71411545843d58a

You can say anything you like about me as a person, and feel free to check the facts. But please keep an open mind as you learn more about the industry. It’s a big place, but there are many good people who are happy to help you on your journey.

The United Inventors Association Helps Inventors Lose IP Rights ! BEWARE

After much reading where Mark Reyland of the United Inventors Association (UIA) publicly slams any crowd sourcing invention company as well as Edison Nation, we couldn’t believe our eyes when we saw him supporting and heavily promoting a start up of people who don’t appear to have a clue what they’re doing. Another crowd sourcing site called Fundageek.
We’d name the many he bashes but we rather not have them tied to his name and be subject to more Reyland stupidity.
Is this why Warren Tuttle, of Monashee Marketing, allows Mark Reyland to continue bashing companies who do the exact same thing as Fundageek? Did Warren, Mark and Roger Brown have these plans all along? Or is it more how that British website, A better Mousetrap, writes, the UIA is only Mark Reyland and nobody else?
We can`t help but think Reyland had his conman hands in this company as it started up. Seeing the Fundageek crew appear extremely green and claim they have much work to do to perfect their company, what better way to get his dirty hands in the company’s pocket?
Does Mark Reyland assure the Fundageek people as long as they stick with allowing the UIA (Mark)to speak for them, he won`t attack them publicly?
When asked what Mark Reyland (UIA) contributed to better Fundageek, one of the owners couldn`t answer the question. Was he told by Reyland NOT to answer? Probably.
Our guess is Mark Reyland approached them. It`s no secret Reyland wanted Edison Nation to hire him to review inventions, but they didn`t want him. He then reportedly slammed them by spending 80 plus hours a week trying to destroy them.
It`s no secret Mark Reyland has been approaching companies upon companies wanting them to hire him to review invention submissions also with zero luck. When he heard him judging a contest he looked so inexperienced and clearly had no idea what he was talking about. Remember, he doesn’t have any experience in actually inventing things. As Warren Tuttle put it, Reyland wasn’t hired for his experience; he was hired for his passion. WHAT? He was then told to change his UIA bio although it’s still BS.
What better way to view all the invention submissions than to find a green company, dazzle them with BS, like he did the board members of the UIA.
It looks like Mark Reyland has his hands in the pockets of inventors once again by teaming up with Fundageek. Are we surprised? absolutely not. The only surprising thing is Warren Tuttle not caring as long as Mark brings in business. The good news is inventors are getting smarter by the day and staying clear of Reyland and anything he`s involved in- sorry Fundageek.
How does Reyland claim Fundageek is So different from others? Wait for it...because they have it written on the site that publicly disclosing your invention COULD cause you to lose patent protection. Well wouldn’t Mr. Reyland just LOVE that considering we’ve seen documentation showing he’s an IP thief.
Let’s give an example here: If, like Reyland explains for inventors to do, you go and make a video to show your invention and ask for a little money to apply for protection (insert buzzer sound) TOO LATE! You just exposed your invention announcing you NEED protection and if someone like Mr. Reyland decided he wanted to now run out and protect it in his own name...totally legal J not ethical, but we all know Reyland has no idea what ethical means. The really ballsy part is Reyland acting as the protector of inventors, bashing other companies who do what Fundageek does, only better, while being of the UIA and explaining to inventors how to publicly disclose their invention and ask for protection money! HUH?!
It never takes anyone very long to realize they know more than Reyland and we’re sure Fundageek will be no different. Anyone can read how to be successful and recite it to others, but only a few can claim it from experience. Reyland has a library of books ;-)
Better make sure you do exactly as he says or you’ll be added to the stalking list of his. We’re watching it grow!

BUSTED! AGAIN!

We’ve read the recent blog post where Mark names and shows pictures of stalkers (his words, not ours) and claims they go after his family. Not only did we not believe this at the time but we’ve JUST received  an email containing evidence Mark is the one doing this to the very people he claims is stalking him!


                                                            Look Who’s Stalking Now!


On Oct.18 2011 An email was sent to one of these victim's spouse’s place of employment naming the employee and stating their spouse is a stalker and including a link to Mark Reyland’s blog where he rants about them being so. The weird thing was this person who sent the email also stole Troy Robison’s identity to create an fictional email account to send it with! Does this get crazier? Yes it does. The victim forwarded the email to Warren Tuttle, President of the UIA USA who then forwarded it to Mark Reyland asking if he had anything to do with it. Of course, he said “no” and proceeded to email the victim stating the FBI and police were hunting them down for stalking him. Thank My American stars the FBI takes time away from National security to chase down inventors who are upsetting Mark Reyland.
We guess Mark didn’t bank on what happened next.


Analytics (see below)Can you guess who it is? He's one of the only people who knew this spouse’s name and what they did for a living. He landed on the website after searching “spouse name, residence”.


Once on the spouse’s company website, he searched through the pages to gather company contact information. Then an email was sent through the company contact form page using Troy Robison's name. Information has been obtained and the real stalking victim is now looking into legal options against the UIA if they do not do something about executive director, Mark Reyland. All we can say now is WOW! Looks like Reyland continues to hurt people and make lives hell everywhere he goes!  


We’ve read where Troy Robison has asked for proof from Reyland, showing he has sent such emails to Mark's family before but Reyland has none because it never happened and looking at Mark's long history of lies and deceit, we expect him to continue with his criminal activites. This particular inventor has the proof to show Mark Reyland is by every sense of the word a cyber Stalker!




There was one visitor from Ohio in the last 2 days that spent 23 minutes on the site.

www.ohiobiz.com/southwest-ohio/Distinctive-Occasions... - United StatesCached
8046 Putting Green Ln West Chester, OH 45069. Contact: Mark Reyland

Please remember why Reyland is stalking these inventors and read what he is so desparately trying to shift the attention from here   http://adealwithmarkreyland.blogspot.com/ and we see no evidence that anyone is trying to take down the UIA. If you click to the beginning of this blog, you'll see where Mark was the one actually attempting to take down the UIA. Who knows, maybe he still is by stalking and committing crimes with the UIA letter head attached to his emails.

One thing we do know for sure is that Mark is losing it by posting in public forums along with his friend, inventor Roger Brown. This by no means is a form of damage control for the United Inventors Association. It's more as though he has decided, if he has to go down, he's dragging the entire UIA with him!
He's be better off publicly addressing the allegations against him than simply trying to scream louder.

Any non- profit organization has the following.Scrutiny by the public: Another disadvantage is public scrutiny. Because a nonprofit organization is dedicated to the public, your finances are open to public inspection. This means that the public can obtain copies of your tax returns and find out your salaries and other expenditures.
A nonprofit organization "belongs" to the public at large. http://jameschestnut.com/issues01nonprofit.html
In other words, if Mark Reyland wants to be part of OUR company, we have right to do background checks on him and expose him for what he is.  Want to be a public figure, then deal with the public scrutiny and transparency.

The UIA/USA PRESIDENT Warren Tuttle NEEDS TO WAKE UP . IT DIDN'T TAKE THE UIA/UK LONG TO OPEN THEIR EYES !


Simon Brown

In March 2011, the United Innovation Association UK (UIAUK) was invited by the United Inventors Association of America (UIAUSA) to work collaboratively under a Memorandum of Agreement(MOA).

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.

As such this decision requires that we change our name and branding and all associated collateral such as URL and email addresses.

These changes will be completed within two weeks.

All services provided to all members and our support of them will remain unaffected.

If you have any questions please feel free to email me direct: simon.brown@uiauk.org

Regards

Simon Brown

CEO & Founder



Weeks back we wrote about Mark approaching inventors in the UK and we took this as an indication of him wanting to ‘branch out’. The above post does back our earlier thoughts. What Simon writes fits perfectly with Mark’s plans to mislead readers into thinking the UIA USA was growing globally and the UIA UK was part of the UIA USA.

Does he really want to take over the world with his side kick, inventor Roger Brown? We just couldn’t help the following youtube selection below.

Some claim Mark Reyland and Kenny Durham are cut from the same cloth ?

Tue Aug 2 Online Event see minute 2:22:58 where these two presented together. Check archives for the Inventors Club of Kansas City National Invention Contest 2011:


http://www.inventorsclubofkc.org/index.php/live-web-stream


From innovators warehouse bio:
"I took a good long look at myself and I really tried to evaluate my future career path. On the short list of jobs I was interested in were race car driver, brain surgeon, pro athlete, double not spy, international playboy and the forgotten heir to the throne of a small, very rich country. "- Kenny Durham


This is what you will hire to be your # 1 boy?


Mark Reyland and Kenny Durham are cut from the same cloth, scam artists and thieves. One does have to wonder what Roger Brown brings to the table, who seems to be all over the internet promoting these two. Joining with Telebrands is supposed to be a reputable success? That company will support anything that puts money into their own pockets. Only new inventors to the community will fall for this, which is sad with so many out there. Other than talking a lot, what experience gives Mark Reyland the pedigree he claims to have? Nothing. Look up products he claims to be successful with and see who the real patent holder is.


Kenny Durham claims the only gift he has to give is not going through the buffet before you do. He claims to have licensed IP, formed start-ups around IP, sold IP outright, sold IP at auctions, and done IP in just about every way you can do it. The only thing he HAS done is ride on the success of others and then attack the very people who started his career. Go eat at his buffet and walk away with food poisoning.


Would Eric White, Diane Fitz, Amy Schleicher, Lauren Wagner, Michael Hohenberg or any of the other past employees who no longer work for Kenny Durham in his short two year career care to step up and save his reputation? Let's see all this glory and experience he claims to have.


Kenny Durham's bio claims he was in switch sales managing a six state territory with sales of four million, would they care to give him a glowing review on rip off report to protect him? Maybe the owner of Van Tuyle where he claims to be one of the top 10 car SALES managers in the country? He stumbled across the opportunity to broker IP and it became a passion? Where? How? Is he brokering IP or is he not and when did he start? Did he ever quit and for how long? Can he answer all these questions on this site? What is the first IP deal he negotiated and sold, or will this just become another accusation of casting blame and avoiding the truth accusing others for his downfall and making him the victim? Poor, poor Kenny. Let's hear all about his success and see a catalog full of his past IP Passion prior to 2010, maybe then we'll know he is real. People who have something to offer have people in their past who believe in them.

Some report he has a God like image of himself !


 

Posted on Sept 8-2011. Mark Reyland of the UIA comes out from behind his title to add more lies and fraud to public inventing forums. Many are talking about his apparent God Complex which is all part of the same thing shown in the following informational link .

And for the record, “Chappy” we have never met or spoken either – however you appear to have a strong dislike for me. How would you have formed that opinion about my character having never met or spoken to me?
You see, I work about 70 hours a week making sure people like you have the opportunities to learn and to commercialize your ideas. I’m away from my family 150 days a year in meetings with government officials and industry leaders attempting to get them to understand the impact of predatory practices and the lack of resources have on our industry. Trying to get people to understand why supporting innovation at all levels is so important.
And when I’m not doing that I’m at an inventor club answering questions and making sure individual inventors understand that there are a lot of really good people working hard for them, and although they may feel like it sometimes – they are not alone on this journey.
You see Greg, and Chappy – people who have met me, people who do know me – know that about me. They don’t depend on what others say, they find out for themselves before they publically trash a man they have never met

Short Description of Problem !

Roger Brown "Inventor" has indicated many times he's not protecting Mark Reyland from being exposed as an Intellectual Property (IP) thief. Well the info below sure looks like he's protecting something .
           
             Could it be a seat on the United Inventors Association Board ? 

I am trying to find out who is the author of this blog post. http://markreylandemail.blogspot.com/Report abuse

Short description of problem:They do not show a profile or answer comments. It says "Posted by An Email from Mark Reyland" which is incorrect since I personally know Mark Reyland and he is not the author. Hopefully someone here will be able to provide me a solution.
Thanks
Roger may want to re-read the blog below... Were not sure why he thinks Mark Reyland wrote the blog, Mark did write the email that slams Louis Foreman,Edison Nation,Patrick Raymond & The United Inventors Association .

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-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=3&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PG01&s1=%22bizzell,+daniel%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-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=22&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=%22bizzell,+daniel%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.
