Tonight on the Invention Laboratory we discuss licensing and how to create relationships with companies that you’d like to invent for.
If you have never invented a product before or have had little success to date you are probably asking yourself; “What are these companies REALLY looking for?”. What kind of products do they want or need? Which company is the best fit for my product? And if you weren’t asking these questions at all and have been rapid firing your idea at any company that will listen....you really need to listen closely.

Tonight on the Invention Laboratory we talk about Merchandising and the moral dilemma it presents in this day and age. A question was asked by Erika in Los Angeles, CA this week and it really had me thinking about the retail landscape and what it means to capitalize on current events.
She writes; Hi Kurtis! I was curious, what your opinion is on merchandising during a pandemic? There seem to be a lot of Taboo products making their rounds as people are stuck in their homes during this health crisis and looming election. Is it acceptable to capitalize on current events? Will business partners frown upon your decision to sell certain products when considering your invention.” Thanks…Erica.

Tonight on the invention laboratory we talk about seasonal product inventing. Though it may seem like an exercise in futility to invent anything that only sells just a few times a year, I can assure you that Phillips, Macy’s, and even your local Dollar Store would have to disagree.

Tonight of the Invention Laboratory we are answering another question from a listener in New Mexico. He writes; Hey Kurtis! I appreciate the time you put into these podcasts, I have learned a lot over the last 6 months! : Your Welcome! That’s why I do them. The more you know, the less you need me to pursue your future projects. So keep learning. “I had a question about Black Friday. Its always incredible to me the sheer volume of products that move this time of year. I know people are purchasing for the holidays and thats a seasonal issue but how in the world are they able to sell these products at such a low price and still make a profit? That TV was $1000.00 or better 3 weeks ago. How are they selling it for $259.99? Also, Should it be my goal to get my product to market for these sales? Thanks In Advance, ….Steve.

Tonight on the Invention Laboratory we will take a look at a few industries that are open to submissions from 3rd party creators. Pushing into industries with a low barrier to entry provides an education on licensing that you won’t be able to fully grasp without jumping right in to it. There are certain industries that are desperately in need of innovation in our current economic climate and very few of them require costly patent protection.

Tonight on The Invention Laboratory we explain the process of hiring professionals to assist with your invention. While no-one can be a master of all the disciplines associated with inventing, you should always try your best to educate yourself and do as much of the work on your own as possible. Most likely your finances are limited and even if they aren’t they are probably best reserved for the areas where you have the least amount of confidence and expertise.
