Dear Sir or Madam:

This letter is a reply to the complaint filed against Invention Technologies, Inc. by its former client Denny Holmes, It is important to understand that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) did not issue the complaint to which this reply is directed, nor does the USPTO state that the allegations in the instant complaint are true. Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 297(d) (1), the USPTO is required to make all complaints received by the Patent and Trademark Office involving invention promotions publicly available. The USPTO, in a June 18, 2008 correspondence to Invention Technologies, Inc., stated that, “The USPTO has not and will not investigate factual allegations of the enclosed complaint.” Further, the USPTO has not taken any disciplinary measures, nor filed any criminal charges against Invention Technologies, Inc. regarding the instant complaint.

Invention Technologies, Inc.(Invent-Tech) is deeply committed to its clients’ satisfaction. Accordingly, Invent- Tech is diligent in its efforts to resolve any legitimate dispute and takes very seriously the filing of any and all complaints against the company. Invent-Tech is genuinely disappointed to know that Mr. Holmes feels his experience with our company has been anything less than positive. Invent-Tech has performed all obligations due to Mr. Holmes, and has not made misrepresentations in the course of its business relationship. Mr. Holmes’ contractual relationship with Invent-Tech ended before he decided to file the instant complaint, and the contractual time period for Mr. Holmes to obtain a refund has long expired. Invention Technologies, Inc.’s records indicate that Mr. Holmes has received, approved, and made use of the numerous valuable services. Mr. Holmes’ invention was represented at numerous trade shows, numerous manufactures were contacted, and Mr. Holmes received press release, a DVD presentation, a digital rendition illustration and a website. Invention Technologies, Inc. made no guarantees that Mr. Holmes’ invention would be profitable. Mr. Holmes was made aware of the risks associated with development of a new product. Mr. Holmes signed an affirmative disclosure statement on 9/17/01, in which Invent-Tech affirmatively informed Mr. Holmes, “you should be aware that the promotion of intellectual property and the sale of ideas is highly speculative; the prospect of any one invention or idea obtaining financial success is extremely low.” Mr. Holmes’ complaint is without substance, and is therefore rejected by our company.

Sincerely,
Invention-Technologies, Inc.
