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.
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.

Choosing Invention
City
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

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

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.

They were known as Luddites.The British government subdued them with imprisonment, execution and transportation to the forlorn continent of Australia. Technology won and common people came to enjoy the benefits of low cost manufactured goods. Progress was a good thing, but it’s hard to not feel sympathy for the Luddites. Two centuries later technology continues to disrupt current lives with promises of ...
Drones are cool. They enable phenomenal photographs and video of so many things. Who doesn't love them. Among others, wedge tailed eagles in Australia. That's who:

Patents are complicated, aggravating, annoying, expensive and often ineffective. You don't need one to make and sell a product. You don't even need one to collect royalties in some cases. But if you are an inventor and you have a great product concept that can sell for many years, having a strong patent is essential. Below is a video with the stories of three patents and why they were worth having; the stories can now be told because the patents have expired. The patents referred to concern hand tools, but the basic concepts can be applied to patents on anything ...
