New products and inventions

I am a scientist who has been involved in more technology ventures than I care to mention here. It is an embarrassing number, a number that can only be achieved by joining a bunch of fatally flawed companies.

The flaws in companies I've joined have not been restricted to any one area, mind you. Poor management, poor financing, poor concept, I've seen it all. But there is one common thread in the particular business I've been involved with: poor technology protection. The inventions that were licensed by these businesses were not adequately protected. Often, the inventors had filed patents on their own, or filed patents without the help of a competent professional.

The Invent-Tech Network is an Inventor Assistance firm whose whole purpose is to help independent inventors in overcoming the traditional headaches and hassles associated with bringing a new product to the attention of the industry. In my opinion, these "headaches" and "hassles" are so mountainous that they collectively represent a threat to every valuable new invention. Worse yet, the headaches and hassles can pose a threat to businesses that may rely on these inventions down the road. I've found that in these businesses, worries over the quality of technology protection never go away. Need another round of financing? Time to have Orrick review the portfolio again. New investors thinking about piling in? Time for their counsel to review the patents again. Technology protection needs to be done right the first time.

So the best thing that Invent-Tech has going for it is that it fills an important need. The 'Invent-Tech Blog' is a good place to see how Invent-Tech fills this need in detail. The blog keeps the company's clients informed of recently licensed products and inventions, letting them know when licensed product by Invent-Tech hits store shelves.
