My real concern is Inventors who over capitalise on their new Inventions, I see it all the time, like an Inventor friend from the USA he had lodged and approved 9 Patents for the one Invention and in the end, the Royalties (from the License Agreement) and profit from selling one of the 2 versions still fall short of covering all the cost's and making a profit.

Getting into the market place and not going broke is what you need to aim for!

due to the very low success rate of 1-2% for Inventions to make it into the market place.


Some of my most liked web link's below for Inventors:

The value of Trade Secrets for Inventors cannot be understated (Keeping your Inventions out of the public domain using NDA's), before you Patent or the Manufacture patents on your behalf.

I kept the below design a trade secret for 12 years until I found a Manufacture who lodged Patents in USA,Canada,Taiwan,China,Japan,France,Germany,Spain and U.K, 6 have been approved and 3 are in process:
