How to Make Money with Your Ideas & Inventions

Informational video produced by the oldest non-profit organization formed to help inventors protect and market their inventions. The founder of the Inventor's Assistance League (IAL), Ted De Boer, tells about his organization that he started in the early 60's. IAL teaches inventors a technique known as "pre-patent protection" that allows an inventor to discuss his/her ideas with the market under controlled conditions to determine if the idea has commercial/market value. Thereby saving the expense of a patent until the time is right. Note: IAL recently moved. Please refer to the address on the website... inventions.org. For further information, contact The Inventors Assistance League directly at (818) 246-6542 or write them at info@inventions.org

I personnally know of three seperate inventions - that went through these invention documentation company's cheapiest was 4100, 8360, 13,500$ respectively to protect these inventions - none - made a dime. 2 are commercially available, imported from China....

so, build it - sell it -- and break their knee caps if they steal it.... :)

@BornPatriot: Well, we have never even come close to charging anyone that kind of money. Those amounts are what the unscrupulous Invention Marketing firms charge. Our organization helped Senator Lieberman years ago with going after them. Before you knock an organization, you might do a little research and make sure you are not accusing an innocent entity of wrong doing.

Also, note: Not all ideas have commercial value. They must be properly tested in the market to determine that.

My brother also made the first flat plug and they stole his idea and sold them to customers world wide my brother got nothing this was in the 70's.

He also made and alarm for a car and kill switch he then saw it later at a car show on a Ferarrri. he was so upset then he went to work for a company that was huge and fixed all there problems in the tech dept, now my brother is sich and fine now.

I inventer a commercial blower that runs off batteries paks it works fine but they may take it

@Dorisequador: Clearly, if it got stolen, it was not properly protected. As for your idea, same thing... if you don't want to risk it being stolen... protect it. Ask for our free info pack and then you can decide if we offer something real or not.

@kurdishleader: Cool. Make sure you protect it and then properly market it.

[RonsLazyFisherman]

I have an invention that i have patent pending, but now im going nowhere with the patent lawers. They were going to help me find someone who will produce and get on the market, I think im geting riped off. My product is for the fishing industry do you think you can help and how could you help me?

[inventingman1]

Now the law has changed with Obama signing the law saying now the first to file is the first to own the rights,not the first to invent. Please check out the new law!!!!!!

[inventingman1]

First of all you must protect your idea. Reguardless. Do not believe anyone else. Second of all,watch out because corporations want to screw you. bottom line. A good example is the movie "flash of guiness"
