For all you people out there that think Davison is a scam think again. The reason they charge money at the beginning is because you hire them to do a job for you. When you go buy a car, do you expect the dealership to make payments for you? It's the same concept. And for those who see bad ratings on the BBB that company is a scam. They only give companies good ratings because they have them pay money to them. They gave a terrorist group a A+ as well as a racist group because they paid them money. 1287c50  Comments (11) |
| 1. Written by vckautzman on February 6, 2011 from chicago, illinois, US Interesting enough I to had an idea, went to davison with my idea. I paid what I could but it just seemed to be a waste of my money being I was getting no real results. They said they were researching my idea to see if we could get a patent but really it dragged for months. Ironically last year I got a check for $15.00 claiming that davison had to pay retribution to people who had paid on an idea that never received a patent. I never cashed the checked. Here is the kicker about 2 months ago I am watching t.v and there is a commercial with my exact idea being sold. So I am thinking they sold my idea. So now I feel foolish and cheated. |
| 2. Written by It really isn't that bad on January 11, 2011 from pittsburgh, pennsylvania, US Hi Folks, I see thay have been getting a lot of bad raps on the web the last few years. I can understand the frustration of the masses, but with them working with tens of thousands of peeps over the years, not everyone is going to be happy. I worked there in sales for almost 3 years and it really isn't the horrible place people make it out to be. The Davison brothers are fair, generous and hard working people. They honestly did care about the customers. The business (when I worked there in the mid-2000's) got very big very quick, and with that comes growing pains, working out the kinks, or whatever label you want to give it. As with any business you have customers who are a pleasure to deal with and you have others that would never be satisfied no matter how much work, focus and energy that you gave them. No, it's not cheap to research and develop a product, but we earned every dollar that you gave us. We had deadlines and accountability for our direct managers as well as other departments. I treated inventors with hard work on my end, respect and punctuality. I did what I told you I was going to do and did it to the best of my abilities, and so did our team and management. With any growing company, we had to hire other reps, and hire them quickly. Some worked out, most didn't. Simply because Davison demanded hard work from us and some people thought they could do as minimal as possible to keep their jobs and unfortunatly Davison nor does the industry work that way. It is very clear on the documentation that we sent you, and that you signed, that product development and invention promotion is a high risk venture. We did the best that we could to help the "little guy" play in the big leagues and actually have a shot being taken seriously. I'm sorry that most of you had a negative experience on this board, but deep down I think you know that you were treated with the utmost respect along the way. I still run into Gordon Davison from time to time and even though I no longer work there, he is still the gentleman that I knew as an employee of his company. I don't know who (if any) that my post will help but it is out of my efforts to inventors that I gave 99% to on a daily basis while I was there that I felt inclined to post. I sincerely hope that the inventors on this board do in fact keep trying to pursue your ideas...no one got anywhere in life by giving up...or complaining on an internet blog. |

| 8. Written by I agree with Davison 100%..! on December 5, 2010 from jersey city, new jersey, US All legitimate companies get raided by the US Postal Inspectors, not just Davison! They ARE legit, otherwise the guys in the blue jackets wouldn't have been able to come in and have the entire staff leave abruptly. It is what it is guys. The people keep coming running to your door with money to give you. All your doing is taking it. Shame on their stupidity not your efforts in selling the dream. |
| 9. Written by inventilante on December 3, 2010 from pittsburgh, pennsylvania, US Davison...do you send the client's files/ideas to China for design, engineering and graphics? If so, is this disclosed to clients? Is there a chance their ideas may be stolen in China? |
| 10. Written by anonymous on November 29, 2010 from tacoma, washington, US Help! I need some advice, I haven't yet but am about to pay Davison Invention to research and get my product/invention started. Is this the same company that had the lawsuit back in 2008? Their address is also based in Pittsburgh... Any information would be great before I take the next step.... Thanks |
