Hello, I am a hispanic woman who came up with an invention and I want to know where to go to sell it.?

Answer 1

To protect an original invention OR a significant improvement to an existing product, a patent would be filed. Here's the USPTO's definition: http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/pac/doc/general/index.html#patent

Answer 2

Enlist an ally - - - someone in banking or finance often a staffer at a major university is a good contact - - - some Realtors are equally brainy - - - thoroughly map out your invention, documenting the process leading to the idea, the idea, all its facets, etc. Then send out prospect letters to companies that would be interested and take it from there. Good Luck.

Answer 3

Great job with the invention, but I am wondering what the flip does being Hispanic got to do with anything?

Answer 4

don't give your idea to anyone until you have it protected some way,,, there use to be what they called a poor man patent that you could put on an idea, but I don't know if that is still valid or not.... You did this by taking the idea and putting all the information on paper, 2 copies of everything (pictures/drawings and everything about it) and sending the original copy to yourself thru the u.s. mail , special delivery, registered mail, and any other way to make it where you have to sign for it when it is delivered, and 'DON'T OPEN IT ' , put it away in a safe place... and then you would start shopping for an investor for the idea... the best way is to always meet face to face when it gets to this point, and never give away the complete idea to anyone ... till you have something in writing,, in fact you will always want everything in writing, protect yourself at all times...

Answer 5

Try the hispanic patent office

Answer 6

It is simple.

1) Go to a citizens advice office, talk to them and ask them to give you the name of a patent agent.

2) Visit the patent agent and ask him if your invention is patentable, about how much it will cost and decide what to do. It will not be cheap.

Good luck
