Reviews

What inventors appreciate about IPS

“My name is Anne, and I’m a first-time inventor. I had an idea for a new way of putting your pillow in the pillowcase — the EZ PillowCase — but after getting the patent, it just stalled on me. Once my patent published, I started receiving a lot of letters from different companies wanting to help me get the product out there. I did my research to make sure I chose a company that was really going to back me. Integral Product Services has done so much to help me get my idea out into the public, and it’ll be heading to market within the next couple of months. I would definitely use them next time I have a great idea.”

Anne M.

first-time inventor, creator of the EZ PillowCase

“Eddie Perez, Rahul Joshi, and Sophie Rivers should be known for their professionalism. They’ve been awesome, an incredible, mind blowing job making my dream a reality. They’ll always have a special place in my heart. I’ve never felt so confident in someone’s commitment and ability. They deserve to be recognized as a dedicated team that stands by their word from the start. Thank you — I appreciate it.”

“You guys are awesome, working hard for me. I can’t wait until the day you let me know we have an offer that will make all of us so happy. Keep up the fabulous work. Thank you, all three of you.”
