The patent itself provides a detailed description of the invention, and how it is used or how to make it. • how many inventions it has evaluated; • how many of those inventions got positive or negative evaluations (legitimate companies will have a fairly low acceptance rate, usually under 5%); • its total number of customers; • how many of those customers received a net financial profit from the promoter's services (that is, the number of clients who made more money from their invention than they paid to the company); and • how many of those customers have licensed their inventions due to the promoter's services (if the success rate is too low, between 2 and 5%, the company's services may not be worth your out-of-pocket expenses).
