SPECIAL EVENT
Please join us Saturday August 15, 2009 for a free Innovation Roadshow workshop! This is a great opportunity for those who are ready to get their ideas out to the world.
The workshop will be held with the Cincinnati inventors group at Eureka Ranch, near Cincinnati, OH from 8:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. If you would like to join a carpool, please contact Dave Zedonis (dzedonis@comcast.net).
What will happen
In the morning, an instructor sponsored by the U.S. Department of Commerceʼs NIST/MEP organization will help you become a persuasive salesperson for your product. The instructor will help you express your ideas in language that excites business buyers, licensees, investors, distributors, manufacturers, etc (i.e., “buyers”). In the afternoon, you have the option of submitting your invention online to the USA National Innovation Marketplace. (You will need a laptop computer to do this. If you don't have a laptop, you may be able to share another's laptop.) Your invention will be advertised online for at least 6 months through the NIST/MEP Network. You will also get a free market research report (worth $2,000) that provides an annual sales forecast, development & protection status, probability of success, fair market royalty, and more.
Get the Most Out of This Workshop
Before the workshop, go to PlanetEureka and look at a few Market Research Reports and at the questions that will help you submit your invention online. Patent protection of your invention is desirable, but not mandatory. If you don't have patent protection, you can say what your invention is, discuss its benefits, and even provide testimonials. But do not divulge HOW your invention achieves its benefits or results.
See you there!
