We’re sorry to see this review and want to clarify a few important points for anyone reading.

All contracted services for this project were delivered as agreed. The client’s patent is issued and active, with protection in place through October 2038. At no point have we received specific concerns, requests for revisions, or outreach asking for additional support. In fact, we have not heard from the client in over a year.

Licensing a patent is not an instant process. It takes time, persistence, and continued engagement. We consistently advise clients that frustration or silence can stall progress, especially if communication stops. We are always willing to help, but we need collaboration and dialogue to do so.

This review does not include any details about what was unsatisfactory, which makes it difficult to address directly. We genuinely welcome the opportunity to discuss any concerns and resolve them constructively. The client is encouraged to contact us directly so we can address specific issues and move things forward in a productive way.

Our goal has always been, and remains, to support inventors through a realistic, long-term licensing journey.

These guys are great

These guys are great! I'm super impressed with the attentiveness and the outcome of my project. I feel like they really listened to what it is I'm trying to do, and brought it to life in a way that is sure to catch attention from the right people. I feel like I'm one step closer to achieving my dreams.

Just wanted to give the guys at Own My Ideas a big SHOUT-OUT for doing such a fantastic job with my project that deals with the game of Dominoes. These guys are more than good. They are very professional and on time. They keep you informed along the way and keep it real with you. They also value your opinion and are very respectful.
Moreover, Rob is one great guy!!
I will be using these guys again in the near future!

Licensing my patent

Appreciate all the hard work in presenting and negotiating and securing a licensing agreement for my patent. It's been a long journey but well worth all the hard work. Let's move on the the next one as I have many more ideas.

It is what it is

March 2003 is when I paid for own my idea services. I'm not sure if my product was good for the market or not. The thing that I'm uncomfortable with is that for 5 years I was pursued about inventing my idea through on my ideas. I haven't been informed about any actions that are being taken. I feel that I pushed and possibly called too much for more information and action. I'm a senior person and I feel that I have been taken. Rob is really nice, but I feel he has been deceptive with me. Davison took me for $14000. I was indecisive with Rex haven't had any good interactions with Rex. I've accepted the fact that I wasted $11,000 just to not be informed about my chances in the market. It is what it is.

Joe you have only been with us for a few months, most of our licensing deals are closed between 6 and 12 months and we are not even there, you have to be patient. We will prioritize your file and try to get it done as soon as possible but you have to be realistic. We spoke the other day and spoke about all this and we would like a 5 star review once licensed.

I am absolutely thrilled with the exceptional services provided by Rob, Bruce, Megan, and the entire staff at Own My Ideas. From the moment I reached out to them, they displayed the utmost professionalism, knowledge, and dedication to helping me protect and bring my invention to market.

Their team's expertise and experience in patenting, marketing, and securing funding for innovative ideas were truly invaluable.

Not only did they create a comprehensive and impressive business plan tailored to my invention, but they also connected me with angel investors who shared my vision and believed in the potential of my product.

This is a rip off company .

Well it's confirmed this company is a total rip off. Robert Gonzalez is a liar, and have kept my prototype. Do not do business with this company because they're liars and you will not get your money back or anything you expect from them. I never signed any contacts liked they will say. So if you want to get ripped off talk to own my ideas representative or Robert Gonzalas. Robert don't even have the back bone to answer my calls. That's what cowardly rip offs do. ownmyideas.com is a rip off company.

Own my ideas preys on people's dream of bringing a product to market. They stop contacting after they receive the money. Own my ideas preys on people's dream of bringing a product to market. After being contacted by Robert Gonzalez, and promising that him and his company would assist to help assist bring my product to market. He asked for money (1295.00)to do research on the industry my product would apply to. Around oct/2018. In jan/2019 he came to me with a report that seemed pretty well put together. Now they asked for additional money(5995.00) to help with product launch. After receiving the money I was handed over to his development team who was Jenny Jidy. They created a simple website. I was told that he would be in contact as he would be reaching out to vendors to help promote the product. I would not receive and more calls or text unless I made the effort to contact. His response every time was he was talking to a few stores. Contact has ceased to happen on his parts.

Hi Joseph, please reach out to Jenny Jiddy as we are still in the licensing outreach stage. The Covid 19 Situation put a hold on a lot of food products for safety reasons and since you have a food product we had to wait for clearance for food product submissions. Please reach out to Jenny Jidy and we will continue our licensing outreach efforts.

Great job Bruce and OMI!

I contacted Own My Ideas back in Feb 2020 with a project to see if they could help out. I was looking for funding to further my project and get some prototypes done and maybe some marketing. I went through the process to see if that was even possible. Eventually, I got into the angel investor program and have been funded through them. This is EXACTLY what I wanted! They are a HUGE help and I will certainly work them moving forward and would really recommend them to any friends and family! They have been fantastic with helping me achieve these first few goals with my project. Bruce and the team have are worth their weight in gold! GREAT JOB GUYS!

This company is a ripoff

This company is a ripoff. I paid them over $5000 and when after almost three years I finally heard from the patent office. The patent office suggested I hire a patent attorney or someone experienced with patents., I thought thats what I did. The patent was submitted by Own My Ideas and the patent office thought I submitted myself it was so bad.

My reply to this rebuttal from Own My Ideas is that the submission was so bad they thought I had submitted it on my own and I did what I thought was the right way and hired "a professional".
Own My Ideas promised me a patent and they did not deliver.

Absolutely not true, we have been helping you and presenting this idea to companies for almost three years. We can not help if companies do not want to buy you out or license your jeans. We have paid for and maintained your http://www.cowboystudjeans.com/ designed the site and worked it for almost three years now. As a matter of fact we are still paying for the fees to maintain your site. Not every idea is patentable, some are and some not. And not every product gets bought out or licensed. A pair of Jeans may not be the most patentable thing in the world.

Top Invention Help company!!!

I started this process with another popular invention help company and it was the worst experience ever. I didn’t give up on myself and contacted Own My Idea, and they didn’t give up on my idea either. Great process, great communication, great people! I’m excited about what’s next!!!

Own My Ideas is the REAL DEAL so far.

I have been working with Jenny in the first phase of my idea and she has been awesome to work with. We started off slowly however my idea is unique and is more angled towards marketing rather than selling a patent or invention. They were open about not having direct experience with my concept and also really excited to help me. That energy has carried through the our work together and we are moving in a really positive direction. I hope to write an amazing update when we're further in the process. Well Done Jenny & Team!!!

No regrets, I've purchased my patent, but still have a ways to go.

I have Thoroughly checked this out to see if it was a scam, and everything came back negative. I have recently purchased my patent. My advisor is John Cummings and he has kept me posted all the way through. I do not know anything about what I am doing, and we all have to trust someone. Since I am paying these guys, I need to put my trust in them through Jesus Christ who has lead me this far. I will follow their lead, John suggested a Utility Patent and that is exactly what I chose. If we trust them enough to pay them, then trust them enough to take their advice. They get 5 stars from me I have no complaints this far.
