My invention

So I guess I'll go ahead and submit my product. I thought I had to at least have a prototype. I'm glad I was wrong. I pray to God this works out.
Licensing on my own?
November 21, 2011
I would LOVE to license my own product- I have quite a few that are major innovations of an already existing product, so to make my life less complicated, I'd wrather do that than anything else. Problem is, my husband and I got burned once by a major company and my attorney said it would cost more to pursue a lawsuit than we wouldve gotten for the IP anyway. I need to do it right the first time. (Right meaning differently than the first time!) My old EN buddy Ron Komorosky told me once I should be very proud of myself....I had a product that was worth stealing! He was right. I need a mentor who can give me a little help, someone who has licensed their own product successfully. Hopefully, several. Looking forward to the next step. I've got my prototype finished!

Well, i can't believe I haven't blogged here since '09 !! A word to the wise here...I took too long to add my prototype pictures and got an "X" on a recent LPS for RIO BRAND. The process went lightening warp speed on this submission, so I was unprepared. TOTALLY unprepared for this to be reviewed so quickly, when in the past it's taken MONTHS or at least several weeks! I'm devastated, because I was positive this was going to be "in the bag" Tears, stomping, broken heart.
