Find Out What Gets Inventors Stuck and How to Keep Your Idea Moving Forward

We've all heard stories about inventors getting ripped off, but there are steps you can take to reduce your risk. The first step is to get started on proper documentation, the start of a provisional patent application. Once filed, this will give you a year of “Patent Pending” status. You will also learn about the two key agreements you can use to protect your rights before your application is filed.

We’ll show you free Internet resources you can use to scan the market and the patent literature to see if your idea is novel. If you don’t know how to make a prototype, this course will point you towards local and internet resources that can help you get started on building a working model.

Finally, you need to know if they’re going to make and sell this product yourself, or if you’re going to license it to a company that’s already selling products in this market. At the end of this course you will have a basic road map to turn your invention into a revenue stream.
