Our Services
Oftentimes, the light that brought your idea/invention to your attention becomes dimmed as seemingly endless delays and costs pile up. Meanwhile, you are diligently trying to get solid advice to successfully market, patent, or license your product.
We can help you achieve your dream of having financial security when your product goes on the market. However, the road to success is fraught with many pitfalls, even for the most seasoned inventor. It is our objective to give you an honest analysis of your product and help you set realistic goals. We will help you create a sensible timeline to see your idea come to fruition in the most efficient and cost-effective manner. Your trust in our company and our expertise will be well placed.
We will furnish you with a comprehensive written report on our findings concerning your idea/invention. From there, what you do with our report is entirely your decision.
Our suggestions and advice apply only to patents filed in the United States. We suggest only American marketing and manufacturing companies for inventors that are looking for assistance.
America, now more than ever, needs to regain its preeminence in the world concerning new products. Not only that, but we all must work to assure that America is the land where any inventor will have the opportunity to realize the full potential of their idea/invention, without undue delay nor costs that do not accrue to their benefit.
How We Differ From Other Companies
There are many companies that offer to analyze products and inventions for a fee, and claim to pick up all costs associated to develop and market the invention for a percentage, if they think it would be commercially viable. The costs to develop and market a product can be prohibitively costly, so this is a tempting offer for new inventors. However, out of many hundreds of inventions submitted under the up-front analysis fee, the chances of these firms actually taking on any of these inventions is extremely remote.
The reality of this deal is that the inventor pays a fee up-front and signs a contract, while the company retains the idea/invention to act upon at their leisure, if at all. These companies profit from these deals, while the inventor has lost all of the control.
At Invention Seed, our Viability Report differs from what these companies offer. You remain in control of your own invention while we provide guidance. Our report is an honest, unbiased review of your idea or invention for you to use as you choose. We can also provide you with valuable information on suggested Patent Attorneys, Firms that can create prototypes, and Marketing Agencies that can help you on the road to getting your product into the marketplace.
Protecting Your Idea
It is absolutely critical for you to exercise due diligence to protect your idea/invention. Under no circumstances should you ever give information—either verbally or in writing—to anyone or any company without first executing a confidential Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). However, even a signed NDA will not make a dishonest person honest.
Creating Digital Renderings
Many sites offer digital rendering services for inventors that are nothing more than computer generated "conceptual" drawings. It's important to have descriptive materials with you that show thoughtful planning when you are presenting your idea or invention to investors and/or companies. For an additional fee, Invention Seed creates detailed renderings drawn to scale, that clearly presents the design of the idea/invention in multiple views.
Prototyping Your Idea or Invention
Should you wish to continue further to prototyping, we will suggest various firms that are competent and cost-effective in making your idea/invention into a working prototype. The cost for that service is entirely between you and the company you selected. We do not charge a finder's fee for any of the resources we suggest.
Applying For a Provisional Patent
Should you desire to apply for a provisional patent, we will furnish you with a roster of competent Patent Attorneys that you can choose from. Charges for those services will be entirely between you and the Patent Attorney of your choice.
Bear in mind, a provisional patent gives you one year from the date of filing for your provisional patent to execute your patent application. If in that year you do not file for a standard non-provisional patent, you forfeit any recourse on the idea/invention you filed the provisional patent on.
