Inventor Roger Brown
Had a good conversation with serial inventor and Edison Nation regular Roger Brown this morning. I interviewed him for a cover piece we’re doing on kitchen innovations in March. He’s got four new products licensed for later in ’09.
He also mentioned that a Canadian firm asked him if he had any camping products, a new line for him. What was interesting was the fact this company saw his postings on Edison Nation and quietly sought him out.
“Companies are there looking for new products, but you won’t necessarily know they’re there,” he said.
As for kitchen gadgets, Roger noted that many companies are looking for well-designed, low-cost, space-saving items … things that don’t require batteries or electricity. This is an ideal genre for independent inventors.
Another takeaway from my morning conversation with Roger: Despite the down economy (and today’s job-loss figures should give you shivers), now is a great time to be inventing.

That is very true. the kitchen is one of the most used rooms in the house all day and every day…and people are always’ looking for items that wont take up half of their counter space, and items that wont take up yet another plug that they really can’t spare to begin with or batteries because then there’s more money down the drain in the batteries and more room used up for storing the batteries.
