COMPLETE WORLD PATENT MARKETING / DESA INDUSTRIES REVIEW BELOW
"We have been asked why we are providing this information for inventors for free? The answer is simple, the owner of Global Resource Broker is an inventor who has been scammed by invention marketing and invention promotion companies in the past while just trying to bring his idea to the market. He has vowed to provide a honest, factual view of the industry and the companies that make up the industry which include the good the bad and the ugly."
We never put down any other companies, but to shine light on the issues that we see commonly in our industry like World Patent Marketing. We encourage you to do your due diligence. Follow the link below in order to see the RIPOFF REPORTS that were filed by two customers and one employee. The complaints were getting to be so much trouble for them that hey finally decided to contact Ripoff Report to provide positive information on the site which basilcy pushes down all the negative entries. Make sure to SCROLL down to the bottom to read past the marketing fluff they just posted. I have taken the liberty to highlight the original complaints that were posted to the bottom right and we have also provided a copy of the post prior to the reputation management that we new would be done, it was just a mater of time. Our forensic research came back with the following results:
World Patent Marketing started out as a company known as Desa Industries which still shows on their BBB rating. The company Desa Industries is a Delaware shell corporation Tax ID 0699715 filed incorporation in the State of Delaware 02/25/2010. This was done in order to become accredited on BBB which requires a minimum of one year in business. Once they became accredited under DESA Industries they then opened up a foreign entity corporation in the state of NY as seen below April 21, 2014 and it was then changed to DBA WORLD PATENT MARKETING, INC. under the FL chapter of the BBB which might I add was not even a corporation but just a website name at this time which enabled them to falsely represent that they have been in the invention marketing business for the last 4 years and are BBB accredited. Further research shows that DESA Industries was and still is a Home Furnishing company according to www.findthecompany.com . Once we dug a bit deeper into this we accidentally opened Pandora's box. ADDRESS AND FAX NUMBER FOR DESA INDUSTRIES 228 Park Avenue South New York, 10003 You will see below that the company World Patent Marketing only came into existing in Sept 16, 2014. You will notice that the TRADE MARK INFORMATION shows that the Name of World Patent Marketing was registered for trademark and started doing business. http://www.trademarkia.com/world-patent-marketing-86338064.html - First Use Anywhere:2/1/2014, - First Use In Commerce:2/14/2014 See excerpt form their about us section on their website; WPM HAS BEEN IN INVENTION BUSINESS FOR FOUR YEARS, SURE THEY HAVE...

NYS Department of State (Click here for source of info) Division of Corporations Entity Information: The information contained in this database is current through October 1, 2014. Selected Entity Name: DESA INDUSTRIES, INC.

Filing Information Document Number P14000076489 FEI/EIN Number NONE Date Filed 09/16/2014 State: FL Status: ACTIVE DBA World Patent Marketing Desa Industries which was recently incorporated in FL 9/16/2014 It seems this company falls under the long list of Invention Marketing, Invention Promotion and newly termed Patent Marketing or Patent assistance category. From our experience, the company is set up as a elaborate shell company game in order to show false representation in regards to length of time they have been in the invention business as well as a false accreditation with the BBB. This company is located in Miami FL, and like many of the others in this industry our opinion, it our humble opinion that they are most likely not going be here for the long hall. Its just a mater of time before the complaints start rolling in and they will have to change their name and open up as another company. We encourage all inventors to conduct your own research and due diligence before contracting any invention company to protect and development your idea. If you call WORLD PATENT MARKETING you will be greeted with the following announcement, talk about a company that is over compensating for something. Or better yet, covering up something. This statement can also be seen on any of their press releases. Example press release. LETS BREAK THIS DOWN, HERE IS WHAT THEY ARE REALLY SAYING IN RED BELOW: World Patent Marketing is the only patent assistance ( PATENT ASSISTANCE/ INVENTION MARKETING COMPANY) company in history to be awarded a five star review rating from Google, Trustpilot, ( REVIEW KNOWN FOR FAKE REVIEWS ), Shopper Approved (REVIEW SYSTEM WITH CUSTOMER CONTENT CONTROLLED BY WPM ) and Customer Lobby ( REVIEW SYSTEM WITH CUSTOMER CONTENT CONTROLLED BY WPM) and ResellerRatings.com. ( REVIEW SYSTEM WITH CUSTOMER CONTENT CONTROLLED BY WPM) World Patent Marketing has received accredited status and is an A Rated Member of the Better Business Bureau (SEE OUR FORENSICS ON BBB BELOW, WHICH PROVES THAT DESA INDUSTRIES HAS THE RATING). World Patent Marketing is also a proud member of Duns and Bradstreet, the US Chamber of Commerce ( PAID MEMBERSHIP ANY BUSINESS CAN BECOME A MEMBER ), the Association for Manufacturing Excellence (ONLY MANUFACTURERS CAN GET THIS RATING WHICH IS NOW VALIDATED BY THE ARTICLE POSTED TOP RIGHT), and the International Licensing Industry Merchandisers' Association (LIMA) (ONLY INVENTION MARKETING OR PROMOTION COMPANIES CAN GET THIS RATING). ADDITIONAL PROOF THAT WORLD PATENT MARKETING IS A INVENTION MARKETING COMPANY, SEE PRESS RELEASE BELOW FOR DETAILS TEDDY BALLIE BUMPER - PATENT ART WORK TO THE RIGHT. DETAILS OF THE MANUFACTURER THAT ALLEGEDLY OFFERED A LICENSING DEAL TO THEIR CLIENT. YOU BE THE JUDGE IF THE PRODUCT SHOWN HERE COULD BE MANUFACTURED BY SEC, INC. WHICH WE BELIEVE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS INVENTION: ORIGINAL PRESS RELEASE OF THE TEDDY BALLIE BUMPER: http://www.prlog.org/12388103-inventvillagecom-announces-the-marketing-launch-of-teddys-ballie-bumper.html PRESS RELEASE FOR ALLEGED LICENSING DEAL: http://www.prweb.com/releases/worldpatentmarketing/success/prweb12415336.htm MANUFACTURE SEC, INC. ( WE BELIEVE THIS WAS A SHELL CORPORATION, YOU BE THE JUDGE) http://www.secsinc.com/ , NEW YORK STATE REGISTRY LOOK UP SEC INC. List of what this manufacture specialized in prior to APRIL 2014. Try to reach out to them to verify the deal its your right under the INVENTORS ACT 1999 The manufacturers SECS.INC product line up according to their company press release; http://www.secsinc.com/pressrelease.pdf SECS, Inc. is Proud to Introduce its New Motion System Group Combining Their 50 Years of Experience in - Precision Mechanical Design, Quality Manufacturing, Assembly and On Time Delivery with Highly Experienced Engineers in Electromechanical, Electronic and Motion Control Design Providing Real World Solutions Defense, Aerospace, Industrial and Medical Total Support From Concept to Finish and Beyond A perfect example of this is unscrupulous business practice, is a company now known as Innovation Direct, which has changed it's name multiple times over the last 15 years.
2011 - was Invention Technologies, 2005 - was Licensing Direct 1999 - started out as International Technology Transfer otherwise known as Invent Tech. http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/specific_search/INVENT%20TECH As for their success being patented, this nothing more than a software program they patented which manufacuers use in order to review inventions. Innovation Direct claims that they are directly responsible for every success story they mention on their website when in reality the invention success really had nothing to do with going through the companies process. The orignal company Invent Tech had such a bad reputation as you can find through this ripoff report link http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/specific_search/INVENT%20TECH Review date: Dec 01, 2014 Company Name: Idea Design Studio • Company Website: Ideadesignstudio.com • Review Title: Not Bad, But Be Cautious I also used Idea Design Studio for one of my projects. The upside was they were affordable ($350) and got a 3D prototype done within a week of product idea submission. The proposed patent cost was $3000. This was for a design patent. However, when I questioned them further it was a Provisional Patent which is only good for one year. Why pay $3000 for a Provisional Design Patent when you can get a full 20 year utility for $10,000? Didn't make sense to me. The other thing that was not making sense was they provide marketing but didn't take any money on the back end such as a percentage for getting you the deal. I found this odd and saw this as a lack of motivation to get me a deal if there was no longer anything for them to gain once I paid them the upfront costs. Didn't pass the common-sense test with me on that deal structure so I decided not to go any further with the organization with my idea. UPDATE 1/29/2015 Just came to our attention that BBB of Miami has rated this company with a A rating even though they have had 23 complaints in only 2 years and 12 in the last 2 years. Even as recent as Dec 2014 here is a link to there rating system you judge for yourself.

NEW UPDATE 3/31/2015: According to World Patent Marketing latest press release below, they are now OFFICIALLY considered an INVENTION MARKETING COMPANY. The reason for this, is that the press release states that World Patent Marketing now have a division of WORLD PATENT MARKETING CHINA that is a manufacturer, but they also have inked a licensing deal with one of their inventors from Indiana. Although we believe this to be a major conflict of interest you can see for your self below. Licensing Deal! ----- World Patent Marketing China Unveils a Revamped Manufacturing Process as It Begins Production of the Hot Tub Swivel Seat For Indiana Inventor http://www.prweb.com/releases/world-patent-marketing/licensing-deal/prweb12614133.htm UPDATE 3/11/2015: The press release below from October 13th 2014 by WORLD PATENT MARKETING is completely false and unsubstantiated according to MIT and HARVARD This quoted from response from MIT Associate Officer in charge of Use of Names and Trademarks when questioned of affiliation with WORLD PATENT MARKETING, QUOTE: " I have no record of a relationship with this company. " ...we take misuse of our name very seriously. " WORLD PATENT MARKETING MIT HARVARD RESEARCH PRESS RELEASE MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Oct. 13, 2014/ — World Patent Marketing, a leading patent authority in the world, recently announced to have teamed up with some of the most brilliant researchers from Harvard and MIT. The company made this major announcement on account of Columbus Day celebrations when they said we had now begun to use the market research skills of top educators and engineers having experience from Ivy League Academia, private and government industry. The company says Harvard and MIT researchers will now orchestrate invention studies for us.

http://www.scamorg.com/world-patent-marketing-9a This company provides a unbiased third party review of several invention marketing and invention promotion companies, we have highlighted a few of them below for your reference. Source : http://unitedinventornetwork.com/invention-company-reviews/ Review date: April 20th, 2014 Company Name: World Patent Marketing • Company Website: worldpatentmarketing.com • Review Title: New Company I talked to this company and I did a patent search with them however as I found out they are a very new company with no real success stories from any of their clients. They seem like good guys but do not have any real track record. A little on the expensive side so tread lightly here. Date of review Dec 1st 2014, Company Name: World Patent Marketing • Company Website: Worldpatentmarketing.com • Review Title: Sketchy Company This company was a furniture company called Desa Industries that in 2014 decided to jump into the invention business. The reason there are reviews on the site is they ask the customer for an initial review of the agent they are working with from the first or second conversation when you are in the initial phase of your product research. Before the research guide was completed and sent back to me I thought they were great and said so in my comments on the site about agent "JAY **** ." However, after I received the finished product that included an incorrect drawing that was submitted for the university study portion, I was no longer pleased with the service. When I brought this to the attention of World Patent Marketing management they accused me of submitting the wrong drawing to them and yelled and argued like we were husband and wife arguing at the house. I asked the gentleman was he actually defending his company's mistake by yelling at me, and reminded him that he was asking me to invest another $10,000 on top of the $1250 I already paid for the patent search and the market analysis (market analysis came back with data from India). He then continued to yell and I hung the phone up and counted my $1250 as a loss. I will never give them another dime of my hard earned money. They have no track record and all the videos online are false. Chances are if they get a deal for you, you will be the first as they have only been around since March of 2014. Check the registration date of the website online and see "Desa Industries" and you will find that they aren't accurately representing themselves.
