Expert Reviews

The National Inventor Fraud Center is run by Michael Neustel, a U.S. patent attorney who helps small businesses and inventors with patent searches and patent applications.

"Patrick Raymond has done the math and believes he’s developed a numbers-based system that takes the guesswork out of getting your invention licensed."
- Mike Drummond, Editor-in-Chief, Inventors Digest
From article "Go Ahead – Judge Me: MyInventionScore Rates Whether You’re Market Ready"

"A unique, useful tool I certainly recommend to inventors"

- Ali Shalchi, Esq.
Patent Litigator and Licensing Expert, Adli Law Group

"Really a very valuable service for inventors" 

- Gary Sullivan
VP Merchandising, Lenfest Media, "As Seen on TV" Company

"... people are going to continue to have ideas and some of those ideas are going to become blockbuster hits. It would be tragic if people stopped inventing just because the odds are against them achieving significant financial success. It's just as tragic, however, to see inventors so caught up in their dreams that they suspend reality. When they fail, they seldom fail alone. Family and friends are often caught up in the dream and suffer the consequences when the dream turns to a nightmare. That is why sites like one created by Patrick Raymond and advice provided by trusted advisors or hard-nosed business people are so valuable."

- Stephen F. DeAngelis, Visiting Scientist, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Author of Enterprise Resilience Management

The InventionScore™ was recently posted as a valuable service resource for inventors.

- Brian Gates, Founder of DesignMyIdea

"We found the InventionScore™ to be a useful full-spectrum view of all the components inventors need to be successful. This has been sorely needed in the industry for some time."
- John Funk, Principal, Evergreen IP

"I personally review hundreds of inventor product submissions each year and recognize those with a high InventionScore™ as being well prepared for the process, significantly increasing their chances of getting to the next level of serious consideration."
- Warren Tuttle, Monashee Marketing, External Product Development

"Patrick is extremely well respected in the inventor community. He does a marvelous job as the founder of the Inventors Association of Manhattan, diligently protecting inventors from scam assists and helping them in every way to bring their ideas to fruition. It's an arduous task he re-commits to every morning, 365 days a year."

- Jono Waks, Founder, Product-n-Press

"Patrick, this was an excellent presentation. Every inventor should use your services before spending too much money on their ideas."
- Carrie Jeske, Board President, Inventors Club of Kansas City

"I met Patrick when I was asked to be a judge at an invention contest. It was clear that he had a deep understanding of the invention process and an even deeper understanding of what makes for a 'true innovation'. Everyone on the judges panel looked to him for advice. If his InventionScore™ is a reflection of his knowledge in the field, and I suspect it is, then it's a tool that every inventor should use. You should use it as part of your creative process."

- David K. Murray, Author, Borrowing Brilliance
