You Can Get an Idea to Market Without an Invention Submission Firm

Roger Brown at American Inventor Spot:

One of the questions I am constantly asked is how I got my inventions to market and how much did it cost me.

They are extremely surprised when I tell them it cost me less than $100 and I did it without the aid of the rip-off Invention Submission Firms.

There is a growing list of companies that Inventors can approach themselves without having to go through an Invention Submission Firm. You don’t have to have a patent and you don’t have to spend thousands of dollars to get your idea in front of them.

I actively looked online for companies that list that they look at outside ideas from Inventors. I also go into stores looking for contact information on products so that I can contact that company. You would be surprised how many are open to reviewing ideas without a patent, but don’t advertise it.

The companies that licensed my ideas all paid for the patent out of their pocket, not mine, in order to protect their investment. I get a royalty based on the sales of each item.

Inventors are very creative people, but for some reason they don’t use that same creativity to find companies waiting for ideas.

    I have a great Idea for a invention. I have contacted a couple of invent help companys and they want to help submit my idea but, of course they want close to $1,000 just for research. Is there a way I can get my product in the hands of Billion Dollar companys without putting alot of money out first?
    Thanks,

    I dont know about this submission firm for invention. all i know is we havelots of inventor who are not given a chance to market their invention and introduce it to the people ,coz they dont get help from the goverment. if they can showcase their invention to the market for free ,that will be great so that they can be recognize as inventor, and people will also know what are their inventions.
