The Twists and Turns Of Licensing Agreements
spunkypup.com/products/squeak...
Josh Rifkin is an inventor who licensed his dog toy invention the Squeak and Throw Ball Launcher. In this interview with licensing expert Stephen Key, he describes his lengthy journey turning his product idea into a success story, including multiple licensing deals and a Kickstarter campaign. It's been worth the effort; the product is now in about a 1,000 stores! He also describes how he overcame prior art to obtain a utility patent for his Squeak and Throw Ball Launcher. Josh is a very creative guy. After visiting a lot of trade shows, he recognized a need in the market for trade show booth systems that require no tools and are packed flat - so he founded Flatworks Displays. Please note: Josh is not a student of the inventRight coaching program. He met Stephen through the inventors group in San Diego many years ago and kept in touch.

Hi Stephen and Andrew! I have an invention that you whould consider to be a "big idea", one that i think i can turn into a company so i need to patent it. My question is, considering that i dont yet have the resources to patent the invention can i file a provisional patent aplication and start home producing and selling it and before the 1 year passes file the non provision patent aplication? And if this is possible would you recommend it ?

After trying to license my product for several months and having a lot of interest but no agreements, I decided to reach out to someone who had a similar product, who I am partnering with to launch my product this summer. I’m very excited. StickiPiggis.com and like us on Social Media! Thanks for all your advice InventrightTV for even getting me started!

@@inventRight as much as I do see your information as high quality, i never saw the numerical value of buying anything more than the free products. % of people that sold a product in one year, % of people that had a licensing deal above x dollar amount, and the percent of people that licensed multiple products after using your products. I reached out to a former student of yours and I never got a response. What is the average product ideas that people give before they have a "winner"? What is the average yearly checks for these products? How often do people send out inquiries to companies? If you really do that many licensing deals, I don't think it is that challenging to have a tear sheet of these. What of the people who get a "successful" product actually equate to? Even venture capital firms say that of all the decent quality ideas they have 1 out 20 makes them wealthy. Frankly, I just can not see an acutalized value for ponying the dollar amounts for your products. I just can not get there.
