Publisher's summary

The road to licensing a profitable, innovative product or technology is riddled with curves, holes, and rocky cliffs. The President of the United Inventors Association shows inventors, innovators, and makers a better path toward monetizing your creations and how to avoid the get-rich-quick scammers.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of eager inventors around the globe spend millions of dollars seeking assistance from inventor service companies and individuals claiming to be experts in the innovation and licensing fields, though their actual success rates are poor in relation to the dollar amounts they charge.

The reality is, according to Inventors’ Digest™, while 78% of new inventors believe they will make over a million dollars with their inventions, less than 1% actually do. Marketers prey on this scenario for their own financial gain.

In Inventor Confidential, inventor advocate Warren Tuttle tips the odds back in the investor’s favor, helping them:

  • Gain a much broader picture of the many current challenges that inventors face these days.
  • Understand the red flags to watch out for when individuals or companies charge up front for their coaching or help-to-market services.
  • See how inventors can improve their odds of licensing success by following a thorough product development protocol, creating working prototypes, and filing U.S. patents.
  • Get the insider perspective on how companies determine the quality of a product submission and if they want to work with the inventor.
  • Learn the 30 steps to market if you want to go it alone.

For anyone who has a great idea or invention and wants to monetize it but are not sure who to trust, Inventor Confidential will show them where to best spend their hard-earned money to maximize their odds for success.

I’m not an inventor and I loved this book!

I’m not an inventor, nor do I plan on being a full-time inventor. I am a cake decorator and have a cake decorating invention in mind, so I picked-up this book to help guide me through this tangled web of innovation and creation. Now that I have read this book I feel more prepared than ever to take the necessary steps and have a higher rate of success using this knowledge as a springboard into the field of inventing. If you are unsure about how to invent something, read this book!

Incredible book!

Inventor confidential is an incredible book! It provides a unique and in-depth perspective of what companies consider when evaluating invention submissions, and the critical mistakes inventors make that hurt the success of their inventions. Any inventor should read/listen to this book to ensure they understand the mistakes that will cause them to miss on their dream opportunities, and what to do to make them successful.

Lots of information for the newcomer

With nothing but ideas on paper and looking to better understand what it could take should a venture compel me or anyone I know I had to learn more of what it takes to get a product out of hiding with proper protection. This audiobook has made the paths clear and allows for less “roaming” for trustworthy resources and wasting of time for anyone looking to make a leap of faith. Happy Inventing!

The Details Inventors Crave

This book covers all the bases for inventors. Straightforward with no BS and much more. Today as I was finishing this audio up I was trying to think if there was something else I would ask that wasn't covered. I couldn't think of anything. I was a member of our local inventors group and served on our BOD for two years. If you're an inventor this is a must read or listened to book.
