Turning an Invention Idea Into Money
If you have a patent or have applied for a patent (patent pending) you can attempt to license your invention. Technically, it is called licensing your patent rights, rather than licensing your invention. Another broad term used is technology transfers. Non patented inventions can be licensed as well and the research/marketing methods would be the same, however, extra/different steps would be taken that are not covered here.Create a list of potential manufacturers who may be interested in your product. (In our lesson on searching for prior art it was suggested that you write down any patent assignees – now you can understand a use for them.) Aim for a list of at least 50 or more. Find manufacturers by looking in stores and magazines for similar products. Visit product related tradeshows. Your local library should have great reference material on manufacturers. Use online manufacturer databases such as the Thomas Register to search for companies that make a product like yours. You can do an Internet search for manufacturers by using the keywords of your product.

A New Industry : DNA/RFID Devices Deter Rape, Kidnapping, and Murder
Would a violent criminal attack if he knew he would be DNA identified?
SURE PUNISHMENT
Attackers don’t want to be punished for their crime. An invention called the Identifying Security Product (ISP) takes advantage of this. The ISP makes DNA evidence against the attacker that the police can fine easily.
Billions of ISP units will be sold. There is no practical defense for kidnappers and rapist from ISP DNA identification.
THE CONCEPT IS SIMPLE
The ISP is a personal security device about the size of a button. It contains a hundred miniature skin samplers in a breakable container. A potential victim can wear multiple ISPs. When the attacker grabs the victim the struggle ruptures one or more ISPs and their hundreds of skin samplers are randomly scattered. The sheer numbers of tissues samples assures that some of these skin samplers will take and store a tiny sample of skin from the attacker and then fall to the ground.

POLICE SEARCH
Each of the skin samplers has a RFID tag. All of the RFID tags share the same code. This code is known to the police. The police search the crime scene with wireless RFID search devices set to the victim’s unique code. The police will quickly recover a skin sampler containing the attacker’s skin. DNA analysis of the tissue in the skin sampler identifies the attacker and he is arrested.
DETERS CRIMINALS
Both the general public and attackers will become aware of the ISPs capability for DNA identification. This identification threat deters attackers from ever striking thus providing greater safety to us. For more information on the ISP see

SPREAD THE WORD
Help spread the word on the ISP. The more people who know of the ISP the sooner attackers will stop.
