Frequently Asked Questions

InventHelp is open to assisting inventors with ideas across all industries and categories, from household gadgets to industrial tools and beyond. The company does not judge the idea’s feasibility or originality at the start—they focus on helping inventors present and protect their ideas professionally.

No company can guarantee invention success due to the unpredictable nature of the market and consumer interest. However, InventHelp provides tools, connections, and expert guidance that can significantly improve your chances of moving forward and gaining attention for your idea.

InventHelp has strict confidentiality protocols in place and requires companies in their submission network to sign confidentiality agreements. Additionally, inventors are encouraged to explore legal patent protection through registered patent attorneys.

The timeline varies depending on the nature of the invention and the services required. Some processes, like creating a VIP or conducting a patent search, may take a few weeks, while others, such as prototype development and company submissions, may take several months.

Costs depend on the services you choose, such as patent searches, VIP creation, and prototype development. InventHelp is upfront about fees during the initial consultation so that you can make an informed decision based on your goals and budget.
