I called them pursuant to an online ad, and first time, their phone system was down. Next time I talked with the person who answered the phone. They said they would call back and never did.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q: They said in order to be considered one must call and if no one answered, to leave a message otherwise the application would not be considered.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at World Patent Marketing
Interview
Scheduled interviewer didn't show up. I had to wait 30 minutes for someone to meet with me. The interviewer was rude and unprofessional. All of the staff was rude. They had "shady" vibes that couldn't be changed even if you told them to act nicer. This company is intrinsically rotten in all areas.
This company follows a typical pyramid scheme that tries to get money out of poor inventors with crappy ideas that have no promise, then sell them "packages" to get their ideas protected. Most ideas this company accepts would not even be touched by a normal competent law firm. The interviewer said that only a fraction of the submissions actually get patented. As such, this company steals ideas from naive inventors and tries to sell them expensive "patent" packages to get their bad ideas patented. And when they do get patented, the "upper" tier or "phase" salesman get most of the profits. The interviewer told me I would make over 100k per yer. YEAH RIGHT! Let's be honest, how can someone with no degree, no sales experience, no understanding of the patent industry make as much as a Patent Agent?
This company doesn't offer anything different from typical law firms - don't let their marketing fool you. Patent law firms actually care if your idea is profitable, and will do everything necessary to get your idea protected. Don't waste your time and money on this company, go to a typical law firm to get your idea patented - there is a reason patent law firms do so well even in poor economies.
You are better off getting a degree and working at a decent company.
I don't know who wrote the previous Glassdoor reviews. They must have been rigged by management employees, because I'm sure the sales personnel wouldn't give this company any good reviews.
Advice to this company: Be honest with your employees and interviewees, stop taking so much profit off naive people. Become a REAL company, not a shady pyramid-scheme.
