Inventor Boot Camp Thomas Franklin 10 17 2009dr2tom
Introduction to Intellectual Property (IP)
Presentation includes types of IP - Trade Secrets, Copyrights, Trademarks, Patents; Timing Issues for Protecting IP; and Patent Strategy Models
It all starts with an epiphany. Every invention begins with a single “eureka moment” or some “brilliant revelation” that causes the inventor to take action.
These epiphanies become the idea seeds planted by inventors around the world. But we can only wish the process was as simple as adding water and fertilizer and waiting for the ideas to spring to life.
Inventions are not just patents to be hung on a wall. They are the starting point for a new business enterprise. So, not only does the inventor have to figure out how to create a working product or device, they also have to drive it forward, creating a business model that will enable it to survive. And that’s where we come in.
The Inventor Boot Camp will help you focus on what’s important. We will show you ways to leverage your time and resources, eliminate unnecessary work, and direct your energies towards driving your product forward. And most importantly, we will teach you what it takes to become successful.
Key Strategies to Learn
How to perform an early stage benefit/market analysis to decide in advance who your end customer will be. Once you fully understand who your customer is, only then can you begin to piece together your business model.
How to develop a profit-centric mindset, the same thinking used by most successful inventors, to maximize your odds of success.
How to decide if your invention needs to be patented. If it doesn’t, this can save you significant amounts of money.
Who you should be listening to. Advice will come from many sources, but not all of it will be good.
How to best position yourself for funding. Hear it directly from the people who have money to invest.
When a car gets stuck in the snow, people instantly start pushing in the same direction to get it out of the snow. But when people's personal lives or their companies get stuck, not everyone is pushing in the same direction. In fact most of the effort goes to cancelling out the work of others.
The Statasphere is a brilliant new tool that instantly shows you where your purposes are misaligned.
Its one simple tool, but it will make you far more efficient and give you a significant competitive edge over your competition. In addition, it will help put your entire life back into perspective?
The most successful people in the world all have their own secret tools that give them an edge, so why not you?
Yes, at times the chaos around us makes us crazy. The Internet Bubble, 9-11, Iraq, Afghanistan, $4 gallon gas, subprime mortgages, the Great Recession, credit crisis, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, i-pod, i- phone/ Smartphone ... -- and we are not even 9 years into the new millennium.
Clearly it is a whole new world out there, and we need a whole new way of working with it. That's where the Statasphere comes in.
