Products created and commercialized by Invention City and its partners have generated over $500,000,000 in retail sales and tens of millions in royalty income. We are actively looking to license new inventions in all categories and all stages of development. When we say "yes" we offer to do it all and pay for everything so that you risk nothing more - we take responsibility for patents, prototypes, engineering, design and marketing, to turn your new invention idea into a manufactured product with a real opportunity for market success. The first step to working with us is our Brutally Honest Review. Click to see the video and read our fine print in bold.
Starting as garage inventors we've had over 25 years of experience creating, developing, licensing and selling inventions to Fortune 100 corporations and start-up companies. This gives us deep first hand knowledge of prior art research, market evaluation, building prototypes, engineering for manufacturing, industrial design, writing and filing US and international patents and trademarks, defending patents and trademarks in the US and internationally, negotiating licensing agreements, managing licensing relationships, sourcing and managing manufacturing and fulfillment, marketing via traditional distribution to mass merchants, chains, individual retailers, direct marketing via DRTV, internet and crowd funding, forming strategic partnerships and launching and selling start-up companies. We don't know of anyone in our industry who's had our breadth and depth of experience. We've enjoyed a lot of success and have learned from failures too. Learn more about us here.
You can see some of our past and current product successes below. Click here to see some of the inventions we currently have in development.
Over the years we've heard from inventors who've wasted thousands, tens of thousands and even hundreds of thousands of dollars pursuing their dreams and failing. Invention City's mission is to help inventors keep money in their pockets, increase their chances of success and commercialize great new product ideas through licensing and partnership deals. The Invention City team is comprised of successful inventors and entrepreneurs who've made their money by bringing new patented products to market. We want to make money with you, not from you.

Lies don't fly.
The difference between Invention City and other invention companies is the success, depth and unique experiences of the Invention City team along with a business model that's structured to profit with inventors rather than from them. Invention City grew out of WorkTools, Inc., (read about WorkTools here.) We come at this business having been bona fide garage inventors and that's where our hearts remain. These links explain:
We believe that inventors should do as much as they can on their own and then, when informed and ready, seek help and advice from providers who genuinely care. Our Brutally Honest Review is a great way to get professional feedback and a real chance for success. A visit to the info booth is a good way to get started. Be careful about disclosing proprietary and confidential information to anyone. We hope that your visit is productive. Please visit us often and let us know how we can make things better.
Invention City provides inventors and new product idea developers with information, resources and help for each stage of the inventing process. Use the links above to learn how to:

Does the Imagine Dragons Song Offer Good Advice for Inventors? The refrain is a message contained in every Tony Robbins motivational speech. It could be, probably is, what the Patriots will be playing in their locker room before tomorrow's Super Bowl. If it had been around in 1944 it would surely have been at the top of General Eisenhower's playlist for the Allied troops hitting the beaches of Normandy to roll back and ultimately defeat Nazi Germany. Imagine Dragons' "Whatever it Takes" functions as a corporate/sports/military get-pumped-up anthem even as it is actually a not-totally-in-your-face pledge to God. With strong ...Posted on January 20, 2019
In a ruling that defies common sense, the European Union Intellectual Property Office ruled last Tuesday that McDonald's had not proven genuine use of the trademark "Big Mac" and revoked the company's rights to it. This decision comes out of a dispute between the American mega-corporation with 36,899 restaurants worldwide and an Ireland based fast food chain with 106 restaurants called Supermac's. This may sound like an uplifting David vs Goliath story, but it's an absurdity contrary to what should be the rule of law. The background to the ruling makes more sense. Supermac's claims that McDonald's was engaged ...Posted on January 12, 2019
The Consumer Electronics Show has long been a place where one expects to learn about surprising and inspiring new products. In recent years the show has become more mundane and the new products introduced have had the kinds of improvements more typical of the National Hardware Show. "Check out this new widget in a fluorescent color!" Reading reports from this year's show it seems like the trend of somewhat-interesting-but-not-really-inspired new product introductions has continued. With that in mind, here are three that cut through the clutter: Actually Tasty Vegan Hamburger - Impossible Burger 2.0 is a second-generation version of a ...Posted on January 04, 2019
