Tips for landing that lucrative contract include going to tradeshows which have the potential buyers for your invention. Other important avenues include joining inventor and business organizations and above all, doing your homework.
Listen as our panel answers inventors’ questions such as:
“What advice can you give to the new independent inventor trying to get into the mass market?” and “I have heard that Office Depot has some diversity programs for potential inventors and particularly reaches out to women inventors and women owned businesses. Is there any truth to this?”
Steve has been attending a lecture series and has had to use public bathrooms recently. This led him to his discovery of the patent for the waterless urinal. The patent is for a cartridge/filter through which the urine passes. Any odor is trapped by an oil sealant. The invention is very clean and it saves thousands of gallons of water. Maybe it should be in bathrooms everywhere. Steve’s second invention is probably for women. In absence of an available bathroom, this little cone makes a portable toilet anywhere. If you plan to use this device within city limits, perhaps you should have a lawyer on retainer.
