It's not a lie. It's marketing strategy.
The manufacture will do the same to you... (even if you got a billion dollar worth of invention)
For example:
Mr.XXXX this is the best offer we have, 1% of after sales royalties max...
we have ton of inventors line up in our office everyday...
we received tons of emails from inventors around the world...takes it or leave it...

What is a lie? or a bluff some will say.
Can we get in trouble if we lie to a manufacture that their major or one of their rivals are intrested in our invention?
This can give you a controlling position, think about it.
