If you're thinking that companies might go looking through issued patents to find new products - they don't. So face up to the fact that if a licensee is to be found for your idea, you are the one who must do it - there's no one who will do it for you - and if you feel you can't do it, go back to my original advice to "forget the idea and get on with your life".
BRUTAL INVENTIONS LICENSE
There are a few "invention agents" - who don't advertise (you'll have to dig deeply through the inventor community to find them) - who might take on your idea on spec (i.e., for a share of your share of the possible profits) - but they're even less likely to take on your idea than the companies themselves - and most of them will charge you an "evaluation" fee (which will only evaluate whether they think they can license the idea). If you want to give it a shot - despite the odds - how can you go about it?įirst, avoid the "invention promotion" companies you may see advertised who "promise" to do it all for you - they almost certainly won't - despite the substantial monies you'll have to pay them. But you may have a licensable idea - it does happen - people outside the industry sometimes do see things that those inside the industry don't. You now understand that the odds are stacked heavily against you. I thought is was one of the best distillations of the challenges of the invention process and it offers priceless advice for inventors. Have an invention idea? Need help and advice about your invention?Įd Zimmer has written what I think is one of the best articles on the web for inventors, "New Product Licensing" on his helpful website The Entrepreneurs Network.
