OMG I wish I would have read these negative reviews b4 I paid them my 10,000 to help get me marketed. It's been almost 2 years now, and nothing, I,m crying reading the negativity because I don't think it's going to be good news for me either. Do they have any real people who have been successful?

Thank God, he answered my prayer

The same issue as others, $800 up front, wanted $10,000 more prayer for guideance. They know what we want and they take advantage of us. If you had not written your experiences Me and others would be out of our life savings. It would be in their pockets and we would have nothing. (Post your experience.)

Thank you all very much for your reviews... I was just about to make a horrific mistake with sending them the one time fee of 795.00 all to find out it is a complete scam...

I knew it was something absolutely wrong with the explanations that I kept asking the consultant to repeat... I felt apprehension in his voice today. More so than in the very beginning...I am very sorry for those of you that have made that investment. But it is a lesson learned for us all...

It's hard to find good honest ppl now a days. Thank you all again fellow inventors

I almost made the mistake of sending money I don't have to upr Ltd, I recorded my calls with them just in case it was a scam good thing I found out they sent me some forms that say to send them $800.00, if it's such a successful company and your idea is good why shouldn't they fund it, there getting a percentage out of your idea, if I had the money I would fund every good Idea I came across, cause I'll be benefiting in the end, that goes to show you that upr really means United Professional Robbers good thing for this website

Scam is the right word

I also started doing business with this company, was told all the right things at first. Then, after paying $795 for a binder that easily could have been put together by my 11 year old daughter, they asked for 10k to complete the transaction and I would be on my way to earning the living that I've always wanted. I gave up at that time. If a company is doing that well and actually wants to help, why not put up their own funds? So, I am currently looking for other options. Any advice? I am wanting to turn my drawings into posters for all to color. Not sure how to go from here......

Rip Off

Just like other reviews they take 795.00 and tell you your on your way then they want 10k more. Do not do business with these idiots they tell you everything you want to hear but the truth. How can they keep getting away with this I am not the only one that tells the story the same as everyone else. Do not use these idiots unless you want to get ripped off that is all this company is about. They tell you on the phone they got lot's of lawyers that is working on your case the real truth is they got 5 people working there

United patent research so far has given me a $10 binder my nephew could have put together for $795.00 and now asking for $10,000 for it to happen. I personally got a provisional patent myself for $265 they want $2,500 they want 10,000 what I'm gathering is its about 1,200 to do yourself.

And what do they tell ya every time you call and ya have to call them is give us 3 weeks ....3 weeks later give us 3 weeks.

Save $ get yourself or just throw it away and wait for your idea to run out with these guys. George Henry is the hero working on mine or at least guy laughing on other line.

United Patent Research is a Complete SCAM

I wanted to market and patent an idea I had, so that nobody could steal my idea. I had never tried to patent anything before so I started looking for a resource of someone to help with this process. That's how I found United Patent Research (UPR)

United Patent Research claimed for a one time up front fee of $795.00 they would do patent a search and market analysis. United Patent Research said they would keep me up to date on the process every step of the way until finally my invention would be patent pending at the USTPO

Well long story short, United Patent Research Ltd is a total scam. They never did any of the work they said they would. After almost giving up I reluctantly hired another company (I will not mention their name here because they are not a scam) that advised me that they saw no signs of work being done on my patent. United Patent Research should be put out of business. A company like United Patent Research should not be allowed to operate in this country (or any country for that matter).

"United Patent Research" is nothing but a scam!! If you are looking to give away your money for nothing in return then United Patent Research is the patent company for you.

If on the other hand you expect something in return for your hard earned money then steer clear of United Patent Research.

STAY AWAY FROM UNITED PATENT RESEARCH. UNITED PATENT RESEARCH IS A COMPLETE RIP OFF AND SCAM!!!

I am considering them after much discussion on the process. I have paid approximately 1200.00 so far and i am awaiting the research according to the agent. Uggghhh

Guest

I agree they charged me 795.00 plus 4,995.00 to develop my idea Red Velvet Cake Frosting . This has been more than 4 years ago.

I have not heard anything else from them. They are crooked.

Guest

Can I know what is a good company to work with for my idea?

Guest

Well that's great to give us information about a company that rips people off, but what type of information can you give us for an honest company. Are there any out there?

Why is everybody afraid to list a good reputable company.?

Contact if you have a real Attorney or patent companies... pastgate@***.com

Guest

I wish the one person who found a reputable Company would passed that information on to other's! My Email Address is us77missisdi@***.com, would helpful to network with some one on this issue!

Guest

Hi,

Sorry to hear this happened to you. I too am new to this and would like to be steered in the right direction as the Internet has so many options.

UPR was the first I came across.

If you would not mind to help out your fellow inventor of what o should do. I believe I have a great idea!

Thank you

Guest

So, why wouldn't you help the people find a good company to use? why refuse to share the name?

also, united patent research has hit me up and hasn't asked me to pay a cent. I'm worried about having my idea stolen...I don't pay 800.00 dollars for an idea.

Guest

Did this guy think he was getting a patent??for $795.00? What world is he living in?

Guest

I find it so sad that you people can put down a great company and follow the lies people write on this blog, Your listening to complete strangers and sounding like a bunch of cackling old hens in the chicken coop. Shame on you. I hope you are able to feel good about yourselves after starting rumors clucks, a bunch of lying CLUCKS :cry
