What is your complaint?
Name of mass media invention promoter advertised in: Unsolicited mass mailings
Invention promotion service offered to be performed: Representation and promotion of invention at trade shows, one page information sheet, and CD-ROM within specified time.
Explanation of complaint between customer and invention promoter: Absolutely New, Inc. was paid $23,880 January 7, 2008 to develop, market, promote, and commercialize my invention by procuring a license agreement within the forms of the contract. They violated the contract because schedule 1, Product Development Services in the contract states Absolutely New shall perform the following Product Development Services: Within (90) days Absolutely New, Inc’s finalization of the product design shall deliver each (1) 3 dimensional design (2) basic animation and rendering (3) CAD Design Control/Dimensional drawings (4) Presentation package containing each on CD-ROM. The one page Information Sheet and CD-ROM where not received until July 21, 2008; clearly after (90) ninety days. The finalization of the one page sheet was 2-17-08. This was still out of the days spelled out in the contract. I was in contact with Ken Wong, Project Coordinator that they were being negligent in completing the project and they sent the proofs with misspelled words and grammar issues. Absolutely New is a scam company and they make no effort to comply with contracts or provide professional standards. They should be shut down and ceased from taking inventor’s money.
