Obtaining a
license a new Invention idea?
  
The purpose of licensing is to grant another individual, company or corporation the right to use 
your intellectual property for a specific amount of time and for a specific purpose. The specifics are outlined in the terms of the agreement.
A licensor may grant licensing under "intellectual property" to do something (such as copy software or use a patented invention) without fear of a claim of intellectual property infringement brought by the licensor.
A license under intellectual property usually has several parts including a term, territory, renewal, as well as other limitations deemed vital to the licensor and licensee.
Many licenses are valid for a particular length of time protecting the licensor should the value of a licensing agreement increase, or market conditions change.

Product Royalties for Invention Idea's
Royalties are payments made by one party (the "licensee") to another (the "licensor") for ongoing usage of an asset, usually an intellectual property (IP) right. The royalty for a given case is determined by many factors including: market drivers and demand structure, territorial of rights, exclusivity of rights, inherent risk, strategic need, fundability, deal structure, level of innovation, stage of development, sustainability of the product, and availability of similar technologies.
Navigating through the royalty terms is important. You commonly have both an advance royalty, which is a flat fee paid upfront, and ongoing royalties, which are paid as a percentage of every sale you make. The advance royalty is basically a guarantee that the licensor will get some money even if your product does not sell. Then, if and when your product sells, the licensor will get a percentage of the sale on average, about 5 percent of the wholesale price of each product sold.
The licensor usually decides what the royalties will be, and those rates are pretty firmly set. So make sure you understand what they are and that they are spelled out in your licensing agreement to avoid any surprises later. In fact, that agreement is crucial in determining not only what the licensor receives, but also what rights you get.


Advertising Your New Invention
Advertising is a type of communication that commonly attempts to persuade potential customers to purchase more of a particular brands product or service. Many advertisements are designed to generate increased consumption of those products and services by creating and reinforcing of  brand image and brand loyalty. Advertising sometimes has a persuasive message combined with factual information. Major mediums used to deliver these messages include television, radio, cinema, magazines, newspapers, video games, the Internet and billboards. Advertising is often placed by advertising agencies on behalf of a companies or other organizations.
Advertising is seen on the seats of shopping carts, on the walls of an airport walkway, on the sides of buses, in telephone messages and in-store public address systems. Advertising is often placed where audiences can easily and frequently access visual, audio and printed information. Some organizations spend large sums of money on advertising that sells what is not, strictly speaking, a product or service include political parties, interest groups, religious organizations, and military recruiters. Non-profit organizations are not typical advertising clients, and may rely on free modes of persuasion, such as public service announcements.


Selling Ownership of Your Invention Idea
The purpose of a selling your invention or the rights to your "intellectual property" is usually for financial gain. The specifics are outlined in the terms of the agreement.

Why use the Protomine Process?
The Protomine process was created to offer an alternative to expensive invention submission companies that offer so much and produce so little. Do the research and we know you'll see the difference.

What does it cost to develop a product?
Manufacturers follow a complicated and costly product development process called product lifecycle management (plm). This approach encompasses the complete lifecycle from concept design through manufacturing and disposal of a product. The typical cost for product development starts at around $100,000 for simple concepts and rises dramatically for more complicated concepts.
What are they promising you?
Organizations such as invention submission companies offer costly services promising to develop your concept for $5-$20,000 (a fraction of what it really costs) while delivering very little in return and producing very poor success rates.
The Reality
Paying high prices to outside companies to "develop" or "patent" your product is often unnecessary if you just want to license your concept. Ultimately the distributor incurs the real costs of development and in return offers a licensing contract. Your job is to present an appealing product presentation and deliver it to the right people!
