Over the years I have had lots of people tell me that they have a great idea, but just didn’t know what to do next. It can be difficult to take the next steps, especially when you are unsure of the process involved in getting it developed, protecting your intellectual property and figuring out how to commercialise it. So most great ideas stay that way, just an idea.
That’s why we built http://www.inventionevaluator.com/. We saw a lack of objective analysis and honest help available for people to navigate their idea from their head to the marketplace.
For $199 you submit your idea online at, www.InventionEvaluator.com and within ten business days, you will receive a thorough analysis of your idea in a comprehensive report. The analysis covers:
- The technology: understanding what the invention is, how it works, and what further development needs to be done.
- The intellectual property: understanding what rights might be available to you to protect your intellectual property and build a package.
- The commercialisation: understanding the market(s) you might be able to access to commercialise your invention.
Perhaps the most important thing we offer in doing this is objectivity. Everyone can do their own searches and information gathering, but in order to properly analyse an idea you need to be unbiased and honest.
If you’ve had an idea kicking around in your head, check out our website and do something about it. Maybe 2011 could be the year it becomes more than just an idea...
Those are some of the reasons I am forming Maristream (www.maristream.com) - to help inventors bring their new products and ideas to market at no up-front cost to them. I despise those late-night infomercials for invention submission organizations - they are usually just scams that prey off the desperate inventor trying to get his product to market, or require exhorbitant fees or majority ownership of the new product, and usually have a poor track record of actually bringing a product to market among all of the submissions that they receive.
ReplyDeleteMaristream will be a full-service, one-stop, no-cost organization for developing and marketing new products for inventors, innovators, entrepreneurs, and other visionaries, offering all of the services required to bring a new product to market, from product evaluation (three-phase, including Invention Evaluator) through building prototypes, design work, consumer research, patents and trademarks, marketing, manufacturing, distribution, business planning, and product licensing. All we ask is 10% of the profit from the product and its derivatives, leaving 90% of the profits to the inventor, which is unheard of in the industry.
Our goal is to be the premier research, development, and new product marketing company of the South, offering our services to individual inventors and innovators around the country to bring their ideas and new products to market, thus "Putting Innovation To Work."
