Stephen M. KeySell Your Ideas With or Without a Patent

I absolutely love this book! This book is a very useful blueprint for getting your ideas to market. I read this book, and did a lot of highlighting on the Kindle version. I went back time and time again to reread these parts, as they were key points that really helped me when writing my provisional patent. Back in the day, I remember having ideas, but there were very few things out there to help you with the steps you need to take to make it a reality. You might have said, "..but I don't know what to do, or how to go about it." Now, if you have an idea, and a dream, there is no excuse to not at least try to do something about it. I used this book and his YouTube videos to his series called "Invent Right" also. I highly recommend this book for new inventors.

I've been a product developer for 22 years and have even appeared as a guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show, back in 2007.I know enough to know that Stephen's common sense approach is the fastest and smartest way to bring a new product to market. He has become my go-to guru for everything having to do with licensing.A must read for anyone interested in bringing their ideas to market the fastest and most profitable way possible.

Stephen Key knows what he's talking about. His story, the InventRight team, its all good stuff. Hope to put it to good use one day soon. Still working on my ideas. Good reading. Need to re-read this holiday season again. Hope you enjoy it as well. - I know this is the same first sentences for all 3 of his books that I own, but they're all good and pertinent. Going to re-read them this holiday break. Do you remember Teddy Ruxpin? Laser Tag? He helped work on that stuff. Smart guy here. Anyhow, if you've read this far, buy his books. You'll get the mileage you need to get your product out there.

Saved me thousands of dollars. Did not know,about provisional patents before reading this book nor that I could license my invention without abpatent

Found a wealth of info on what and what not to do when marketing my product idea to companies. I’m not a big book reader but I could not put this book down and read it in a day. Valuable info. Only thing I felt could have been covered a little better was the application process for Provisional Patents, however I found another book that covered it detail. I think Mr. Key’s book is a must read for anyone wanting to protect an idea and approach companies to sell or license it.

Just finished it and already sending copies to inventor friends. Great information definitely for inventor wannabees, beginners, and intermediate inventors..Definitely belongs in an Inventor Wannabes Library (along with his other two books via Amazon.com) ... Fastest way to know you are talking to an experienced Inventor is if they start their answer with "It Depends". He does... This book needs/must be read many times with post notes and highlighter in hand .... Great non-fiction books require multiple readings .... He uses multiple personal stories to expand on his lessons.. I need to reread his Federal Court case against LEGO, that he won. His lessons gained there are included in this short 149 pg book, and may help you prepare to protect a big or small idea. Weakness: He didn't caution readers about the sometimes late night Invention Infomercials. He might have in a prior book. Always needs repeating at every talk on inventing, even though the US Patent Office has good regulations to keep the dishonest ones out. High Praises: For his insights with working with the US Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO.gov) and his counsel as to when to write your own Provisional Patent Application (PPA) and when to get it reviewed by a Patent Attorney. He explains how you could submit electronically, your own PPA for under $185 (Filing fees and Drawings) tomorrow and be able seconds later, add "Patent Pending" for a year to your KickStarter Product Campaign. It will be required reading for members of our local Inventors meetup group, so I don't have to keep talking about the info covered in the book, at every meeting.

I discovered this book while doing research for my own and I gotta say, I am now a follower of Stephen Key! I want to sign up for his courses and keep this book on hand for when I make the leap to get my own ideas for tech stuff turned into products. This book shared so much good information and I learned a lot. I loved the story at the end. I highly recommend this book.

The information in the book is readily available on his YouTube channel. So don't spend your money. Oh...., yeah..., he repeats himself to the point, the repeats fill up half of the book. I guess he needed to make it thicker. Go to YouTube.

Explains the information clearly

Great book, very well written and informative. I've watched a fair few of Stephens videos (inventright) and have his other book, so had to add this to the collection.

Does what it says on the cover

Great style,very informative and to the point

Great book, Stephen explains everything perfectly
