OUR CLUB NEW PRODUCT LICENSING UPDATE:
Every Month Jahn Stopperan, our Lead Developer, will present an update on the “CLUB INVENTION” that we are developing.
We will share the progress with club members each month throughout the year.
Our goal for the year is to share with you how we:
- Evaluate and Prioritize our selected new product invention idea
- Develop a finished functional PRODUCT DESIGN
- Build a final product prototype that fully demonstrates PROOF OF CONCEPT
- Prepare all necessary patent application documents and apply to the USPTO to secure a PROVISIONAL PATENT
- Prepare all documentation, sales materials, presentation materials and prototypes necessary for presentations to prospective licensees
- Secure a finalized licensing agreement
Join us each month on our new product development and licensing journey to learn, hone and license product inventions!
Note – Last month we presented a “FOUR-STEP DECISION PROCESS” to help all inventors increase their success by evaluating and prioritizing each invention, before they commit to developing it.
We will refer to this throughout the year.
