InventHelp, a company that offers services to inventors looking to monetize their ideas, is currently facing a false advertising class-action lawsuit. The plaintiffs in the case, Zanotti et al v. Invention Submission Corp. d/b/a InventHelp et al, claim that the company engages in a deceptive and fraudulent invention promotion scam. They allege that InventHelp promises inventors tools to turn their ideas into profitable products, but fails to deliver on these promises despite charging thousands of dollars for their services.

According to the complaint, InventHelp offers a variety of services to inventors, including loans, research, patenting, marketing, manufacturing, and distribution. However, the plaintiffs claim that the company does not provide inventors with the promised services, and instead, takes their money without delivering any real value. The lawsuit, which was originally filed in state court in January 2018, was amended in June 2018 and then transferred to federal court later that same month.

The plaintiffs in the case argue that InventHelp's advertising and promotional materials are misleading and deceptive, and that the company's business practices are fraudulent. They claim that InventHelp falsely represents the likelihood of success for inventors who use their services and that the company's representations about the services they provide are false.

InventHelp, for their part, has denied any wrongdoing and argues that the lawsuit is without merit. They claim that they have helped thousands of inventors to successfully monetize their ideas, and that their services are legitimate and valuable. They also argue that the company has a strong track record of helping inventors to navigate the complex process of turning an idea into a profitable product.

The case is still ongoing and it is yet to be determined whether InventHelp will be found guilty of the accusations against them. However, this lawsuit serves as a cautionary tale for inventors looking to monetize their ideas. When considering working with a company like InventHelp, it's important to conduct thorough research and due diligence to ensure that the company is reputable and has a track record of success. Additionally, inventors should be wary of any company that promises quick and easy success, as the process of turning an idea into a profitable product is often complex and difficult.

It is also worth noting that this is not the first time InventHelp has faced legal action over its business practices. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has previously filed a lawsuit against the company, alleging that it deceived consumers by making false and misleading representations about its ability to market and sell their inventions. It is important for inventors to be aware of such legal actions and to consider them when making their decision to work with InventHelp or any other invention promotion companies.

In conclusion, the lawsuit against InventHelp serves as a reminder that not all invention promotion companies are created equal. Inventors should be diligent in researching a company before working with them and should be wary of any company that makes unrealistic promises or guarantees. It is important for inventors to be aware of the legal actions against InventHelp and to use that information when making a decision about working with the company. Additionally, inventors should always keep in mind that the process of turning an idea into a profitable product is often complex and difficult, and that success is not guaranteed.
