- Chicago, IL (1888PressRelease) July 01, 2010 - August is National Inventors Month. Sponsored by the United Inventors Association of the USA (UIA-USA), the Academy of Applied Science and Inventors' Digest, the goal is to raise awareness among the American public about the value of creativity and inventiveness and the importance of inventions and inventors to the quality of our lives.
The Complete Idiot's Guide® to Cashing In On Your Inventions, Second Edition covers every aspect of the inventing process, from concept ideation to commercialization, and in a way that cannot be replicated by the competing books written by patent attorneys, intellectual property Administrators and agents. Full time professional inventor and intellectual property marketing wizard Richard Levy, shows readers how to:
• Develop their ideas into marketable products
• Distinguish between collaborators and parasites and avoid getting scammed
• Analyze opportunities and avoid pitfalls
• Find and qualify companies interested in buying or licensing inventions
• Produce impactful presentations that communicate the product's message
• Open doors and close deals
• Benefit from independent and Federally funded technology and programs
In addition, this up-dated and expanded edition offers more in-depth coverage of the development process, helping readers find and work with prototype makers, foreign manufacturers, and learn how to minimize development costs. Templates for product and trademark licensing agreements, options and other documents may save readers thousands of dollars in legal fees. Also added to this edition is a comprehensive glossary.
The capacity for creating is shared in some measure by everyone. The capacity for marketing, promoting and making deals is known but to a few. Richard's book gives its readers eye-opening "insider" information that every independent inventor requires but only a fortunate few inventors possess.
"Inventing is easy if your brain is wired that way. Developing inventions into real products also isn't rocket science if you know how. Converting inventions into licenses that'll turn into real products, protecting your work, making the cash register ring…that's the hard part. No one is better at doing all of these things than Richard Levy whose track record for inventing and licensing successful toys and games is a mile long. What's more, he has an uncanny knack for describing all facets of the whole process in books that really teach. This current one is no exception. Go get it."
Ralph H. Baer, father of the console video game industry, the 2010 Inductee, Inventor's Hall of Fame, and a 2004 Winner of the National Medal of Technology.
