Invention Submission Corp. has agreed to a $3 million class action settlement with those who purchased services from InventHelp or Western InventHelp and claim the company misrepresented those services.
The class is made up of all U.S. residents who purchased services from Submission Corp. (doing business as InventHelp), or Western Invention Submission Corp. (doing business as Western InventHelp), from Jan. 1, 2014, to June 30, 2021.
The defendants submit their clients’ inventions or product ideas, in exchange for a fee, to obtain a review to see if those ideas or inventions can be commercialized, one of the class actions states. However, the firms also allegedly fail to disclose they do not have any “reasonable and systematic” procedures in place to ensure their data bank does not include companies that are no longer in operation and do not actually match their clients to companies most likely to be interested in a given idea.
