What would professionals do with your invention idea?

You have a great idea or a finished prototype. Maybe you are even further along. What you need are some good ideas on what to do next. Invention City has decades of success and experience answering questions on every aspect of inventing for its own projects. Now we can answer questions about yours. Send us a description of your invention, how far along you are in development, and we will tell you what our next steps would be if we had an invention like yours.

We provide you with a 5 page report filled with detailed ideas on what steps to take next, where to go for help, who to target for licensing, and how your invention seems to stack up against obvious competitors and prior art. If we do not want to go forward with your invention, we will explain why and how it might be improved. We answer any of your questions.

If we believe there is a company that might be interested in licensing your invention, we will provide as much contact information as possible. In some cases this may be a company that licensed from us before. In most cases, we do not have prior contact. Either way, we will give you actual names, direct telephone numbers and direct email addresses of people within companies to contact. We tell you who we would contact first ,and how we would make our approach.

Direction Finder is also the first step if you would like us to consider taking on your project to seek a licensing deal for you.

The fee for this service is $295. Our thoughts and ideas will likely save you thousands of dollars, and may possibly make you much, much more. If you're unhappy for any reason tell us within 30 days and we'll refund the fee.

Your invention is yours and remains yours. Our promise is to put ourselves in your shoes think about your invention like it's ours.

Now you can have the benefits of 25 years of experience that has achieved over $10,000,000 in royalty income and the knowledge that comes from more than a few expensive failures. We are the real deal.
