Question: I have an invention idea, I have been working on for years now and even went through an invention co. & they wanted to market it, but I did not have $10.000. It’s not even patented. How do I find or even look for Patenting and Marketing investors, so my product can be put on every vehicle in the world?
Answer: Before using any Invention marketing company you should see if they have any complaints filed against them at the PTO. Also, talk to industry leaders or somebody who is familiar with the industry to see if they know of anybody. The united inventors association http://www.uiausa.com/ may be a good place to start. In addition, you should join your local inventors group as they may have some ideas.
You should be very careful about discussing your invention with an “Invention Co.” or invention marketing company because you have one year from the date you disclose your invention to the public or offer it for sale to file for patent protection on the invention. If you do not file for patent protection within that one year, you could lose your rights to the invention.
