I have already patented an Invention and would like information on how to get the company/investers involved.?

Question

My invention is partially an add on or can be considered an improvement to a previous invention. I'd like to know where do I begin the process? Do I send a proposal to the CEO? Do I send the actual invention via spreadsheets and/or outlines?

Answer 1

Here are some book titles that are relevant:

* Bringing Your Product to Market: Fast-Track Approaches to Cashing in on Your Great Idea, 2nd Edition by Don Debelak
* Entrepreneur Magazine: Bringing Your Product to Market by Don Debelak
* Product Idea to Product Success: A Complete Step-by-Step Guide to Making Money from Your Idea by Matthew Yubas

I had also provided links to inventor associations on your other question so I didn't want to repeat myself but I'd give those associations a try. They have no doubt dealt with these very issues before. I'd consult with someone there before you start sending out samples.

Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!
