And why is a reputable company like QVC involved with Mark Reyland and meeting with him for upcoming project's ? QVC is putting inventors at risk with Mark Reyland and the UIA. QVC list the UIA on its sprouts web page as an inventor resource.
And they are using Submit my Invention owned by board member Russell Williams, this is the company that sends email after the companies reject the submission endorsing Invention Home, Russell's company also. Submit my Invention lies to inventors acting as the companies the inventor submits to
. Well this story is out now, will QVC do what is right for inventors and withdraw its sponsorship ?
Well I may be able to shed a little light on some of these things, The SMI system owned by Invention Home Russ Williams, heres how it works, QVC uses the SMI system, as inventions come into the system, QVC decided at what stage they want to move the product to, once the product goes to the declined stage, then its automatically dumped into the Invention Home system, go try a few if you google submitmyinvention , you will get a list of companies who use the software if you submit something to each of them and they are not interested, then it goes to Russ, then you will get that form letter from Inventin Home making offers to help you with your product, basically an emailed sales pitch. the SMI system is offered FREE to companies, the trade off is Invention Home gets the rejects it can now try to sell services to. Some may ask how do I know this, well I was asked by Mark to learn the SMI system so that I would use it as a selling tool for selling memberships, we have a company who offers a free way for you to manage a way for your company to accept new ideas and inventions.
SO to recap - Russ Williams of Invention Home, also owns SMI (submit my invention) and is a UIA Board Member. I am instructed by Mark Reyland to use the SMI system as a selling point to new potential corporate sponsors, when these new sponsors use the system anything they reject, an email is sent to the inventor with Russ Williams Invention Home offering to HELP by selling the inventor SERVICES
Will Kevin Harrington of Shark Tank withdraw his sponsorship, knowing all this now ?
Will Rubbermaid withdraw ? They are a sponsor of this unethical organization and responsible for funding Mark Reylands abuse of UIA funds. Rubbermaid is using Submit My Invention software for their submissions. Submit My Invention is owned by Russ Williams of Invention Home and he is a UIA board member. Submit My Invention sends emails endorsing Invention Home for paid services with every Rubbermaid submission rejection. That's not the bad part, the bad part is Submit My Invention sends these endorsement emails acting as the companies originally submitted to. In this case, if you submitted to Rubbermaid, you would get an email from Russ Williams acting as Rubbermaid endorsing his company Invention Home. See this link for examples
Now that this is open and public will Rubbermaid still support the UIA and its lies and con game ? We will keep you updated and hopefully announce that Rubbermaid took a stand for all inventors by withdrawing their support !
FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT CANT SEE OR FIND THE LINK ON THIS THREAD, HERE IS LESIA FARMER 'S RESPONCE.
Hello,
I am at the forefront of this issue of Mark Reyland redesigning an inventor's product. Why you ask? Because I am Lesia Farmer, the Lesia Farmer that Mark redesigned my "
Trap Door Colander"
There are a million questions regarding Warren Tuttle, Mark Reyland, Lifetime Brands, and the UIA coming in, and I need to clear up the facts of the story. Please read this story in its entirety, as I need to clear up the name's of the innocent people/companies involved here.
Here are the clear facts for anyone who wants to take the time to read:
Several months ago, I was contacted by Mark Reyland who had a new design to my Trap Door Colander. He asked me what I thought of the product "I explained to Mark that I thought my patent application covered his design" and honestly I was not a big fan of the product, but that is the one I wanted him to stay with out of fear of what it could do to my colander which was just beginning to barely make traction in retail.
I then spoke to Warren Tuttle, who called to fill me in on the fact that Mark was working on a colander, and had asked for it to be submitted to Lifetime Brands. Warren at that time explained to me that it was his contractual responsibility to submit products to them, but that in fact he would proceed with caution on my behalf. Warren also said he had explained to Mark that he needed to in fact get in touch with me because of the ethical issue at hand I assume. Mark did in fact contact me via phone, and once again I explained that I felt my patent application covered his design. He proceeded to explain to me that I did not have an actual patent, and that all I had was a patent application, which in fact was true. He said that only way he would know whether he needed to include me was by seeing my patent claims, and really pushed I show them. We got into a bit of what I consider a mild disagreement, and we at the end agreed I would contact my patent attorney. At that point I was advised not to have any more discussions with Mark about my patent. So that is what I did, no more contact.
At that point Warren Tuttle did in fact what his obligation was to do, and that was to submit Mark's version of the colander to Lifetime Brands. Warren kept me in the loop, and did come back and tell me that he had shown it, but because of the complicated issues he advised Lifetime Brands it may not be a good idea to move forward. Lifetime Brands in fact turned the new colander design down. All I can say is "what a sigh of relief!!"
At that point I also had Joe Fournier contact me that was working on the CADS for Mark, because he was a friend of mine. He was also worried about the ethical issues of designing CADS around my product. He and I had many in depth discussions about my feelings on the issue, and he did well at keeping me calm. Mark Reyland was also a friend of his, and we tried to keep the two separate, and he never shared the CADS with me. He just assured me that my product was better, so no worries. He also had a job to do for the UIA, and I always tried to respect that. Then at a much later date Joe shared with me that Mark Reyland had submitted the new colander design to A.J. Khubani on his private jet. I have verified that story through a very reliable source, and that source was someone who was also on the plane.
With everything I am trying to say, my main focus is that people understand that I respect Warren Tuttle's responsibility to Lifetime Brands, and I have never held against him that he did his job. Warren Tuttle is a great friend of mine, and still today I trust him. I think the distrust needs to be shifted in another direction, and that is the direction of Mark Reyland. I told Mark if this ever got out, it would be a train wreck, well Mark by not covering yourself, and boasting about what you had done, the train wreck is in fact here. I sit back, and kept my mouth closed, and you decided to move forward and make people aware you were redisigning my colander, and that is your fault.
I also would like to add that legally Mark Reyland did NOTHING wrong....... For the inventor community it seems to be the ETHICS are what is in question here with Mark Reyland position as Executive Director of the United Inventors Association!!
He spoke of me as if I was not only a friend, but a professional inventor:
http://www.marktreyland.com/making-a-professional-inventor/ and maybe this is why I have had a hard time with this.
I do not want this blog post to be about anger or hurt, so I will leave it at this. I have drawn my own conclusion............Now it's up to you the reader to draw yours as to who is guilty of anything. It is NOT Warren Tuttle, it is NOT Lifetime Brands, and NOT the UIA. The only part the UIA that plays in any of this is the position Mark Reyland holds as the Executive Director.
I put my faith in Warren that he will handle this internally, and my hopes is that one bad apple does not spoil the whole bunch. We all agree the UIA has some outstanding inventor programs, and I know these people tirelessly give their personal time. I beg of each one of you reading, please put the blame where it is due, and not against an entire organization.
Any responses will be monitored before I post them because I will NOT have this turn into a more confusing situation, nor will I let this get out of hand with anything that is not a fact in this story!!

{ UPDATE }
This story is posted on linked in inventor groups, 1 group has chosen to delete it and hide it in support of Mark Reyland and the UIA. the groups is,
Kathy Hilsinger Walliser, BS, MS HCAD
{ We will add groups and owners names as they delete the discussion and leave you in the dark to be the next Mark Reyland UIA victim ! }
And a big thank you for hiding this story and not even accepting it for posting and deleting comments unless it promotes the UIA and Mark Reyland and the winner of hiding the truth game JOHN CREAMENS OF MY COOL INVENTIONS. HE HOLDS THE RECORD FOR THE MOST LIKES ON THE UIA FACEBOOK PAGE OF THE MARK REYLAND QUOTES AND SELF PROMOTION.
{ UPDATE , JOHN CREAMENS, HAS APPEARENTLY REMOVED HIS FACE BOOK LIKES, NOT LONG AFTER THIS WAS POSTED. THERE ARE NO MORE. }
My Cool Inventions
http://www.linkedin.com/groups/My-Cool-Inventions-4410201
You can find Mark Reyland and Aaron Hartmann with John Creamens In this group.
John Cremeans
JOHN CREAMEANS, JUST TODAY SENT OUT A PROMOTION OF THE MY COOL INVENTIONS PRODUCT SEARCH TO 14.000 UIA MEMBERS THAT ARE LISTED { the UIA feeds them inventors }. AND THE GRAND PRIZE IS A $50.000 MARKETING PACKAGE OFFERED BY THE COMPANY HIS PARTNER AKOS JANKURA OWNS, BUT WILL NOT COMMENT ABOUT AND NO WHERE DID HE POST HE HAS ANY AFFILIATION WITH THIS COMPANY . But we found it.
Akos Jankura
We are not saying they are doing anything wrong, but with no website, how do they get their clients for Inventures International a product submission company ?
Could it be that they use My Cool Inventions radio show and the UIA together to get clients ?
It would make sense why they stand up for and hide things about Mark Reyland and the UIA. Birds of a Feather ?
Here is a new LinkedIn group that wont hide the truth, see it while you can !
{ UPDATE, we would like to introduce you to a business owner in the invention industry, that is in full support of Mark Reyland and the UIA. }
AARON HARTMANN OF AAROW INDUSTRIES INC.
Aaron Hartmann fully believes that Mark Reyland did nothing wrong copying Lesia Framers Colander, while representing the UIA as its executive director. Also he believes all Mark Reylands credentials are as he claims. Is Aaron Hartmann being fooled or he he part of hiding this con game ? A deal was made with Aaron Hartmann that if he could find anything posted here that was a lie, it would be removed and an apology would be put in its place. Aaron Hartmann has yet to find anything and reply back to us, but he was looking several times, we have proof of this. We see people all over the world reading this blog as far away as Egypt and Vietnam. We believe that everyone should be heard, so here is Aaron Hartmann's blog in support of a con man and an unethical non profit organization. And if you agree with him, send him your business.
So here it is Aaron Hartmann of Aarow industries Inc,...My UIA... blog post.
https://aarowindustries.com/aarowblog/ As you may see the UIA logo in his blog, from what we understand he is not a paid sponsor that entitles him to display it. Maybe this his reason for the support ! Repaying a favor ?
LinkedIn has been restricting accounts that post the truth and banning accounts. Mark Reyland has a LinkedIn source that protects him.
Of course the UIA is involved and all of its board members approve or Mr. Reyland having his own stage where he now lives.
And I'm sure My Cool Inventions will be announcing what they sponsor, after all they are obligated to support Mark Reyland in exchange for UIA members email access, { they don't pay to be a sponsor }. We totally expected My Cool Inventions to be part of this con-man's game.
But QVC ? A reputable company sponsoring The LIE'S of Mark Reyland to innocent inventors seeking help from experienced and successful inventors. We are shocked that QVC would sponsor a local inventors meeting hosted by the biggest liar in the invention industry.
