Complaint Resolution Index (CRI)

Complaint Resolution Index (CRI) Explained The Complaint Resolution Index (CRI) is an indicator on how responsive a company is in addressing and resolving customer complaints brought to their attention by BCA. If they are considering doing business with the company, consumers can use this indicator to forecast the likelihood of having their issues addressed if a problem arises. CRI measures the company's customer satisfaction abilities through BCA’s complaint mediation process.

A variety of factors are considered when calculating CRI. This includes how quickly a company responds to complaints, the number of complaints against a company, whether the company addressed complaint allegations, and the outcome of the complaints. CRI is just a subset of the overall rating for the company. Consumers are encouraged to take into consideration the company's CRI, their overall BCA letter rating and other relevant information about the company so they can make a well-informed purchasing decision.

BCA's Summary and Analysis:

Customer Complaint

2/12/2026

I was speaking to an employee (Andrew). I discussed my invention and was told I needed to deposit $235 to start the process. I called at 8am the next morning, I had just texted with Andrew less than 24 hours before. He told me their lawyers were already working on my invention and it would be near impossible to get my money back. When I said that I would contact the media, I was assured, if I did that, my refund was definitely an impossibility. Their BBB reviews are bad. Can you help me? Resolution Sought Reimburse me my $250

We are in receipt of the above referenced review. Nearly 3 years ago, this complainant contracted for a two-year service for the assistance in submitting her invention to industry in an attempt to obtain a good faith review. Our records indicate that the services were provided in accordance with the agreement. This complainant also contracted for Patent Application Referral Services in which we refer our clients to an independent patent attorney for the preparation of a patent application on her behalf. Our records indicate that we referred her to a patent attorney in July 2021 and any activity and/or questions surrounding the patent, or the process should be directed to the patent attorney. We make it very clear in our contracts as well as literature that neither InventHelp nor the patent attorney can promise or guarantee that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) will issue a patent and that a patent can be denied at any time during the pendency period. Thank you for bringing this review to our attention. Sincerely, Maura Robbins Compliance Manager InventHelp
