Yes! Using patent attorneys, inventors are shockingly disadvantaged on 10 counts:-
- Inventor is barred from talking to IPO examiners. (Not so with IoI).
- Patent mail is sent to Attorneys’ address. (With IoI, all mail goes to client).
- Attorneys charge extortionate fees £150+ to repost to client. (Not so with IoI).
- Attorneys never evaluate inventions for functional viability. (IoI always do).
- Attorneys never evaluate inventions for commercial viability. (IoI always do).
- Attorneys do not evaluate inventions for patentability. (IoI always do).
- Attorneys never ingenuitate inventions. (IoI do).
- Attorneys seldom have know-how of inventions they file. (IoI always do).
- Patent Attorneys have no right of audience in UK County & High Courts. (IoI do)
- Inventors cannot sue Attorneys using the “confidentiality rip-off ploy” on them.
What is the “confidentiality rip-off ploy”?
Attorney advise inventors, “keep this secret until I’ve filed your patent”; misleading inventors worthless ideas are worth fortunes.
The inventor pays £5,500 for a patent that a “novelty, functional & commercial viability evaluation” would have proved worthless.
Invention Confidentiality Myths & Ploys
Q1. Has there ever been an invention confidentiality breach in history?
A1. No, never since “Letters Patent” granted by Queen Elisabeth 1st!
But the “Confidentiality Ripp-off Ploy” is repeatedly used by rogue patent attorneys to bilk unsuspecting inventors with worthless inventions!
Q2. How do rogue patent attorneys use the “Confidentiality Rip-off Ploy”?
A2. They advise inventors to “keep the invention secret until they file a patent” – for a rip-off fee – misleading inventor their (worthless) invention is worth a fortune!
Bell’s v/s Gray’s water mike patent dispute was not a “Confidentiality Breach”! Fact - the inferior water mike was never commercialised by Bell or anyone!
Fact - all microphones since have been carbon & electromagnetic.leak by a USPTO clerk.
Definitely not a “Confidentiality Breach”, but suspected
The Patent Facts: Selling a piece of paper called a patent is the most difficult part of the invention process. If any inventor with only a patent offered a 99.9% share to anyone, it is unlikely he would be entertained for more than 30 seconds.
Patent Rogues – the True Facts
There are plenty of rogues – patent brokers & patent attorneys, using the ploy of “confidentiality” to take large sums off unsuspecting inventors. These rogues have not sold a single invention, nor capable of selling a breached confidentiality

The Institute of Inventors has years of experience and expertise in filing patents for inventions in a huge range of industries.
A well-worded patent that will give your invention protection against infringement is a highly specialised skill that requires patent acumen which comes from years of experience, as well as technical knowledge of industry and invention patent background. If the patent scope is too broad, then the Patent Office will reject the patent on the grounds of lack of inventive step. On the other hand, it’s important not to make the claims so narrow, that they could be copied with a slight variation.
At the Institute of Inventors, we provide a high calibre, air-tight, inexpensive patenting service for members – a service unobtainable anywhere in the world.
Here’s a sample of patents we’ve prepared. Click on the patent number to see the actual published patent filed.

You’ve come up with a great new idea and obviously want to make sure that you get credit for it. So the first mistake some inventors make is to file a patent before getting it evaluated. Is this the right action to take?
No! Definitely not! Not before the new invention is evaluated.
Having your invention idea evaluated before you’ve taken out a patent avoids wasted expense & effort.
The Institute of Inventors evaluate inventions. If the invention has merit, we will suggest the best strategy to make money from your invention, which doesn’t always involve taking out a patent!

It is a jungle out there! And if you’ve never had any experience of inventing and patenting, you are at risk of being subtly misled by unethical patent attorneys & invention promoters and loosing thousands of pounds. They can falsely advise secrecy & costly patenting first, without any evaluation of the idea for merit.
Years later the inventor finds out that his/her invention is not new, cannot work, is inferior to other products and won’t sell. But in the meantime, he’s spent thousands and got nothing in return.
The Institute of Inventors always evaluates inventor’s idea for merit first before going down any costly routes.
