Industries to Avoid If You Want to License an Idea
Some industries are much harder to invent for than others. Also, licensing isn't a great model for every industry (Stephen and Andrew wish it were!) Learn which industries are harder to license ideas to, and potentially save yourself some heartache. For more information visit: www.inventright.com.

Difficult Industries 1. 2:53 Food Products and Recipes 2. 5:15 Apparel 3. 6:20 Packaging 4. 10:07 Softwares 5. 11:25 Toys 6. 13:15 Automotives Great tips, because all those industries listed were things that I have considered. Good to know the difficulties in them
This is my second video to watch of you guys...I'm inspired. You're sharing resourceful and useful information just as I would to my voice and piano students about getting their music out there. It's about the DREAM, not the FAME. Fame takes you away from your dream path...Dream leads you on your path. Getting the license is like the dream. Getting the Patent is like the fame. Love it! Thanks!

I just got a patent for some tools to do electrical work. My patent application consist of several types of tools that do the same thing.I also have several prototypes that are made in plastic. My patent attorney couldn't believe how quick the patent office decided to grant me a patent. It took about 6 months from the time he submitted everything, including the non provisional. I'm looking for some advice, so I thought I'd check your channel.

You can definitely patent a recipe, it’s just it makes more sense to keep it a trade secret due to there being no limits on length of protection.
So.. this is exactly the video I was looking for so I appreciate you guys doing this first of all.. So I have a question in regards to ingredients for recipes or food items and the food industry in general as far as patents go or licensing: So, there was a European product called Diamondbrite, it was a spray that you put on your car, make your car really shine--but they didn't say what was in it, apparently, because they didn't want anyone to steal their "secret sauce," I guess, and make a new diamondbrite ( that's what 've heard from an American reseller, anyway.. and this was back in the 70s, I think times maybe were just different too?) I have some ideas for recipes or "anxiolitic/calming" supplements and I'm wondering if I have to list all the ingredients, if I don't want to get a patent..I still want to sell on a site like Etsy or eBay or whatever? Or do I just need to list allergies or allergens? I see products coming from eBay or Etsy especially that definitely don't list all ingredients, but they seem more mom n pop type, or Chinese sweat shoppish.. one of the two.. ) If you can point me in the right direction I would be super super grateful!

We have a PPA for the function of our shirt. Sweat-Proof Patch for shirts. Trying to license it to a uniform supplier. Launched on Kickstarter last year, have an established business. You guys think we have a good chance in landing a licensing agreement?
I read another book that recommends not giving your PPA to a potential licensee after an NDA is signed. They say the licensee can see what you put in your PPA and work around it if your PPA isn’t that great. He says it’s a business bluff and forces them to think your PPA is really well written and they can go forward with making a solid patent. He recommends saying you are making adjustments to current PPA so don’t want to show the original one or any of them.

i was wondering if someone have already submitted an idea to a company, but you haven't signed an agreement with them, can they use your idea behind your back,. Now mind you this is a well known company, found out they've been sued in the past, so you change your mind about using them for the idea
great advice! I am wondering, what if i had a medical formula or recipe and a way to prepare it, what should in do now, can i have provisional or a copyright, thats juct let me directly to the companies.

I actually did a Utility PPA on a tennis skirt with a pocket that was designed to hold a tennis ball in such a way as to not be in the way of the swing and it would stay in place without bouncing out. This was in 1999 back in the day before stretch fabrics were used in tennis wear for skirts. I had to do this because I was selling on the web and wanted to protect it from being copied. I didn't have to go forward with a patent in those days since it was established that I had the idea first. The patent laws have been changed so that it is first to file not first to invent. So if I wanted to redo this scenario today, I would have to go ahead with a patent or license it to a tennis wear company and have them go ahead with a patent. Love your videos and I am learning so much for my next ideas. I do have a patent almost granted on a new invention. It took almost 4 years and was so very expensive. I am sorry that I went against my gut and listened to people to go with a patent attorney instead of filing myself. But it seems like it is going to go through after so much time and money. Keep the videos going, I am a fan for life listening to your great advice for all my ideas that I want to produce. I loved the show Quirky and submitted about a dozen ideas that were since then marketed by others in some shape or form. But I kept the good ones under lock and key. My highest score was over 200 votes for my life size Lego furniture which has now been copied or someone had the same idea. That doesn't bother me much, but gives me more incentive to create more ideas. Thanks for your wonderful advice and know how.

Hi I'm a new inverter and I have a great idea for a one of a kind tabaco/marijuana pipe/bowl and with the rise of the cannabis industry and with more and more states legalizing it I thought it would be a great time to get in on the action. Being a medical cannabis user myself and with my many other skills I have made a working prototype of the product and I was wondering how I would go about making a "Previsual patent" and what kind of company's should I reach out too to license my product too? However I don't have a lot of money, and certainly not enough to hire a attorney to do it for me so I was just wondering what my options are and what advice you could give me if possible?

Hello! I was doing a Google search on how to get started with selling an idea and came across your videos. I've never done this before and have found them very helpful. I am a stay at home mom and have no clue where to start! I got the idea when I was taking my son to the YMCA for swim lessons. All that work getting packed up, load and unload a kid, get into swim clothes and try to arrive on time just to find the pool closed because someone put their kid in the pool without a diaper because they forgot one. I have ran my idea by other moms and they love it. It could go in places like gyms, Airports, zoozs, ext. But who do I talk to about getting it started? Is it worth the effort and cost?

+Andrea Herstad Hi Andrea! I'm glad you found us. First, breathe :) It's exciting and wonderful to have an idea you might want to try to bring to market. There are different ways of bringing a product to market. One is to start a business on your own; another is to license your idea to a company. Licensing can be thought of as 'renting' - in exchange for the right to manufacture, distribute, market, and sell your idea, you receive a percentage, or royalty, of each unit sold. It's much, much less risky (aka capital intensive) than starting a business. inventRight's focus is on licensing; we believe it's a better option for most inventor entrepreneurs wholeheartedly. But, don't take our word for it! The best thing you can do right now is study up. Stephen, our cofounder, writes about licensing for Inc.: www.inc.com/author/stephen-key. His book One Simple Idea lays out the 10 steps needed to license an idea. You can find it in libraries and here: www.amazon.com/One-Simple-Idea-Revised-Expanded/dp/1259589676. Another thing to do is study the market for existing products similar to yours. What can you learn? If you need help, inventRight is a one-on-one coaching program. Call us here: 1-800-701-7993.
Stephen, when you mention you were able to have the licensees pay for the additional patents, were you able to maintain ownership of the new patents?

I found the FTC webpage helpful. You're telling me it's going to be hard, everything is hard though. At this point, I'll go with the first five or ten industrial inventions I came up with, and allow them to do what they want, according to what they think is necessary. Later down the line, build a lab & library to work independently from. I'll keep watching your videos. maybe I'll see something about scam companies that make you pay fees.
I actually have a patent in the food space and am working on a new type of product for clothing. The thing is with food or clothing, it needs to actually be something new. My product in food is in gum and it's just totally different from anything around in the molding, form and utility. It's not a recipe, but just something radical. Same for what I'm doing in clothing. Yet for bad industries... I'd just add telecoms. Highly technical for engineers and it'll be obsolete by the time it's granted.

How would you characterize the relative difficulty in licensing a novel product to the woodworking or power tool industries in comparison to the high degree of difficulty you noted for the OEM automobile industry? I am hoping that my entre will be made somewhat easier by well placed contacts I have established in licensing my several previous woodworking products to small companies, but I think my current IP has a chance of appealing to a major manufacturer, so I will not have the same personal relationships to rely upon in reaching a real decision-maker. In this situation, should I reference my previous minor successes and relationship with these contacts who would vouch for me in initial communications with these bigger companies, or should I rely strictly on brevity and count on my sell sheet and video to sell the product for me?

To follow up, do you have any idea of typical range of royalty rates individual product developers are able to negotiate with very large tool corporations, such as those whose products are sold at big box stores?

Am I technically licensing the trademark? Is it possible for me to file a PPA for something like this?

Thanks for the response!!! It's an improvement on an existing commonly used tool. So there will not be much of a difference to manufacturing/producing this tool.

For reference: it's like the first modern hammer being made. Then someone improved it and thought to put a "fork" on the other end to take nails out. So my product (not a hammer) would improve this tool making things much more efficient for fabricator in a range of manufacturing fields.

I hope that kind of explains the scope of my invention. I would actually like to tell you what it is so I could get an experienced opinion on this idea.

100% true.
that you actually solve a problem..
The inventor not paying for the patent is not unusual. There is a statistic, I ran across during my process, that 75% of the money inventors make, they make without paying for a patent. The manufacturer pays for the patent to protect its investment. They have detailed specs that go into the patent and they know the process. The inventor's idea is normally broad or versatile and scalable. Some aspects of my idea are specific but still scalable. An example is a ratio. Yes, I'm in the automotive arena. My pitch is that my idea is worth so much money. Also, so many people have attempted to make this product but they all failed. I did not fail.

I haven't done it yet but I was hoping you could help me understand the process of doing so. Can I use a PPA to protect my app? or do I copyright the idea? it's very confusing. Thanks for all you do. I look forward to meeting you in NY!
