While the USPTO does not investigate complaints or participate in any legal proceedings against invention promoters/promotion firms, the American Inventors Protection Act of 1999 does provide that the USPTO will: (1) accept complaints filed against invention promoters/promotion firms; (2) forward these complaints to the invention promoter, and (3) make the complaints and responses publicly available. The USPTO does not accept complaints submitted under this system if the complainant requests confidentiality. WARNING: THERE IS A REPORT THAT INVENTION SUBMISSION COMPANIES ARE SUING PERSONS WHO POST COMPLAINS WITH THE PATENT OFFICE.
