In light of the terrorist actions that have taken place throughout the world, there appears to be a new spirit of cooperation developing in the U.S. and the civilized world. Instead of playing politics, "doing the right thing" is smarter. Instead of negotiating relationships... "partnering" makes more sense. You should use this new mindset in your development activities. There's no doubt it will help you become successful.
In sharp contrast to the pathetic 3% success rate cited by the U.S. Patent Office, or the less than 1/100 of 1% success rate of the invention assistance companies, all of the patents DeMatteis owns and those pending are licensed. That's a 100% success rate. Anyone who says that you can't license your ideas and inventions until you receive a patent, doesn't know what he/she is talking about. In fact, all of DeMatteis' inventions were licensed either before or during the patent pending process. You can license your inventions the same way and you would be wise to do so.
If you want to unlock the secrets to being a successful inventor, you can find all you need to know in the 300-page book, From Patent to Profit and at our workshops. To give you some insight into licensing, here are 3 secrets from the book you can apply.
The first secret to successfully bringing your idea to fruition is that you, the inventor, must pilot your own invention. You have to be in charge of your own dream. You can't turn your dream over to someone else and expect it to become a reality. You will need help and must team up with experts along the way, but always maintain control of your invention's destiny.
As you pilot your invention to success, you will be learning all about it--what it needs to become a desirable product, how to get it mass-produced and most importantly, how to get it sold and producing income. Like a navigator, you, the inventor, will pilot your invention on a journey to success. When you have achieved your dream, you will feel a sense of accomplishment you may have never thought possible and will capture a little piece of history in the process. Of course you can learn exactly how to pilot your invention's development in the book, From Patent to Profit.
Once your idea, your dream, begins to unfold, and you have made a commitment to take control of your invention's development. Captain the four processes in the Strategic Guide system and you will automatically accomplish your objectives.
To help you on your journey to success, a detailed version of the Strategic Guide chart is included on the book, From Patent to Profit. You can use it to track your progress on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. You can literally check off each small step you take in your journey.
In your invention-related activities, you will be piloting and developing all four processes concurrently. Your ultimate success depends on the interrelationship between the processes and the successful culmination of each one. While it may appear somewhat difficult at first...it gets real easy as you move forward!
An invention invariably starts as a single idea from a single inventor. But sooner or later, it will require a team effort to make it happen. Bringing a new product to market requires a tremendous amount of effort. If nothing else, you simply will not have enough time to do it all.
Your team will consist of four primary team members: a patent attorney, your manufacturing partner, a sales and marketing expert and you, the inventor/innovator. These four team members will work together as a committed team to do whatever it takes to get the project launched. These four team members lead the four processes in the Strategic Guide. It's getting easier already, isn't it?
The team members you select are crucial to your success. You want a manufacturer who can give you the quality, service and price you expect. You want a sales/ marketing expert who can get your new invention sold and producing income. You can learn how to find and evaluate these partners in the book, From Patent to Profit. You will also learn how to interview and hire a patent attorney for free!
