Subject: Trade Show Information for non-profit groups-- "Trade Show Info Docie Non-Profit.rtf" --

Dear Fellow Inventor,

It was brought to my attention that some inventor groups want to share only non-profit or non-advertising type information with their members. As a 30+ year, and honorary member of the Inventor's Network of Columbus, founding member of the UIA, and three-term past president of the Ohio Inventors Association. I certainly appreciate this.

Therefore I have attached a very different version of the mailing I previously sent you. This currently attached version has no reference to any advertising, and is strictly informational for your members. I include my name and contact information for attribution and the source of the information. You may use either version you wish.

You are welcome to share with your membership this useful information pertinent to trade shows and how to get the most from them, as this is something your members may even do on their own, without hiring any outside representative.

Thank you again, and Happy Inventing!

-- Thought of the day: --
-- "One of the secrets of success is to refuse to let temporary setbacks defeat us."-- Mary Kay, 1915-2001, Founder of Mary Kay Cosmetics

-- Our team of Experts (just know-it-all guys and gals) want to chit-chat over "Inventive Topics." They want to solve problems. They want to localize their answers to the "Idea People" within 500-miles from St. Louis - well they feel that it can be solved within that parameter. -- --> LET'S SEE:

-- Question: "How do I get my invention on the Oprah Winfrey Show? It is an Invention that everyone would want once they see it?" - Leonard G.

-- The "Aha" Answer:
-- "Write a personal letter to Oprah Winfrey. One of her staff may set your message aside [even though you wrote "Personal" on the envelope] to telephone you to learn more. - If you are called to Chicago to show-off your invention, be sure to have a working prototype to demonstrate your brilliance. - There is no assurance that you will be called, so don't be very disappointed. - Read all you can and come to the IASL meetings to learn more." -- R.S.

-- Question:"I spend thousands of dollars over the last 4 years in making my invention. All my family and frends just love it and want one soon as I make more of them. I went on the "American Inventors" tv show and they didn't like it. Only one voted "Yes" for it. I hoped to become rich and have money to make thousands of my "back-scratchers that play a song when you use them." Am I a looser and failure? Should I spent a lot more of my money to do it myself? I know everybody has a back itch now and then and can't reach it. My invention works. and now that I told you how, don't you go off and make and steal my business. I'll wait for your anser. Please help me - Lucy"

-- The "Aha" Answer:
-- "Normally I'd say "Fergetaboutit and Get a Life." But, let's look at this thing as a "Positive."

-- You didn't say how much your back-scratcher would sell for or how much it will cost you to make a thousand units? At the very high end of the market, your item is a specialty item or novelty. There are people who will pay exhorbitant prices for custom products. They will pay hundreds for "quirky" gold-plated toothpicks and belly-button faux diamonds - even for real belly-button diamonds. [I heard of one movie-star putting diamonds on her baby's pacifier!]

-- So, Lucy, make one at a time and peddle it to jewelry stores and upscale gift shops. [They will improve upon it with decorative gold and diamond chips.] They will tell you what they think it is worth? I hope you can make it for a fraction of what they value it so that you will make some kind of profit? -- And if you start selling them 'like hot-cakes,' you may want to craft them in quantity by a manufacturer?

-- Yours is an innovation and not an invention, your thing has been thought of before. Don't waste your money trying to get a patent for it." - R.S.

A Jeweler's Monopoly on Game Bling

Sidney Mobell calls himself a showman. And that's right on the mark, considering that the 84-year old jeweler is the creator of a $2 million, gold-plated Monopoly game, on display at New York's Museum of Finance through October 2012.

The game, on loan from the Smithsonian's Museum of Natural History, weighs 32 pounds and is covered with 165 gemstones. The cards are 23-karat gold-plated, and the tokens are solid 18-karat gold.

In 1986, Mobell says, he called the game's manufacturer, Parker Brothers, and offered to make a commemorative set for a Monopoly world championship. "Photo-etching the cards was tough," he says.

Mobell, who owned a San Francisco jewelry store for more than 30 years, has created other whimsical pieces, including a 14-karat gold-and-diamond mousetrap. So where does he get ideas? "Who knows?" says the fan of art deco artist-designer Erte. "I think of something as I go to sleep, and write it down before I forget." - Frank McCoy

-- During the Super Bowl, there was another football game of note between the big animals and the little animals. The big animals were crushing little animals and at half-time, the coach made a passionate speech to rally the little animals.

-- At the start of the second half the big animals had the ball. The first play, the elephant got stopped for no gain. The second play, the rhino was stopped for no gain. On third down, the hippo was thrown for a 5 yard loss.

-- The defense huddled around the coach and he asked excitedly, "Who stopped the elephant?"

-- "I did," said the centipede.

-- "Who stopped the rhino?"

-- "Uh, that was me too," said the centipede.

-- "And how about the hippo? Who hit him for a 5 yard loss?"

-- "Well, that was me as well," said the centipede.

-- "So where were you during the first half?" demanded the coach.

-- "Well," said the centipede, "I was having my ankles taped."

-- "Saving Time and Convenience in Use" are big selling points for having an invention. So Why doesn't 3-M come out with a quick tape dispenser for taping injured arms and ankles of football athletes, and the fists of boxers?

Hi Robert,

My name is Brad Duxbury in Australia and my path forward is a mystery having destroyed my business (electrical contracting)that I was going to use to provide funds to get this idea at least to prototype or start up stage, I now have a number of problems and since it would take me 30 years to get back to owning my house and I am 46 I know that is one path that only leads to a life of what ifs.

1. I do not have enough money now to fund international application in 1 year having let last provisional lapse because I had not looked for funds and financially collapsed (now working in a job I can’t do 1000 miles from my home, will have to return to a lower paying job in city soon to attempt to save house)

2. Undecided as to do this for licensing or start up as I need job in the future and this could provide me with technical sales job (like to keep both options open)

3. I proved proof of concept with help of engineers but they will not commit to sweat equity as too much paid work on other innovations

4. Attorney has produced good provisional but haven’t put claims in and feel need input from large company in this sector to have strongest footprint

5. I am not an academic and have huge problems putting the complete package forward

6. This is brilliant and aimed at sporting goods industry and has nearly been made by a different industry but would require R&D from other industry to get correct

7. That other industry I feel should have input into the provisional patent (though attorney says it should hold as is)

8. Since i have no money should I

9. Approach other industry and see if they willing to fund prototype or fund better proof of concept to take forward to sporting goods industry or to begin start up

10. Could I safely show them another use for their product seeking some form of partnership to take this forward (by that I mean if I ask them under confidentiality if they can produce the product as if I were going to be the purchaser for the start up)

11. ( Met start up manager, branding lawyer, top tier new products accountants last year all very excited by my idea but also not willing to sweat equity )

12. Approach young uni students looking for co founders so can put a better case forward for funding for start up or share possible licensing deal

13. Go forward with my unprofessional publications to either industry seeking financial and technical help to get to international patent and hope 1 out of the many players may help otherwise I will have given a lot of people ideas and will have to put in international somehow by approaching way down the chain. Most like Nike say will only accept patented ideas hoping can talk them into provisional being good enough to talk asking for their input into it if interested.

14. This is good enough to go forward to elite Olympians who may have access to the right marketing people in the large companies but what do I offer them

15. I do not have a business plan as there is no real path and I feel it would change huge amounts along the way

16. Even in the sporting goods industry there are 2 different areas I can approach

17. So now that I need money this year do I approach all concerned like a scattergun approach

18. I do not have the business ability to approach angels unless I am asking them to be a founder and put a changeable plan together

19. This is very frustrating but I can’t stop if I do I would be giving up all hope of a decent worthwhile life

20. Could I put website together claiming invention patent pending and ask for donations or shareholders to participate to hold patent and try to form startup and see what happens

Any idea’s at the moment I am going for scattergun but may not get to show to anyone if have confidentiality problems.

Kind regards

Brad Duxbury - Brad

After reading your extensive description, I cannot see whether you have anything to prove your inventorship.

1. A 'provisional patent application' is limited in time to one year from the date that the patent office acknowledged it.

2. A provisional patent application does NOT mature into a non-provisional patent.

3. You haven't created a prototype, so you can't use "Patent Pending." You can use a Non-Disclosure Affidavit in your dealings.

4. You have disclosed the essence of your invention, which invites others to invent around it. [That is not good for you.]

5. You cannot expect others to donate money to you, unless you give back, in kind.

6. You haven't researched the competition.

7. "Ideas are a dime a dozen" and no one will gamble. They place their money on securities and things that they are familiar with.

8. You have to sell yourself to those who would take a chance on you. Everyone favors a winner--and from what you have written, you are opening your statements as a loser. You are cutting your own throat.

Doug, you would do as well by entering a lottery and gambling on winning it. :-(

There are millions like you who think that's all they have to do is come up with an idea, call someone up, and the check 'reward' will be immediately sent to them through the mail.

Doug, if I have kicked you in the teeth, I meant to. This way, you will start over and learn what you should have known--years ago. Read the IASL website!!

[You are not too old to learn the right way.]

A man was sitting alone in his office one night when a genie popped up out of his ashtray. "And what will your third wish be?"

The man looked at the genie and said, "Huh? How can I be getting a third wish when I haven't had a first or second wish yet?" "You have had two wishes already," the genie said, "but your second wish was for me to put everything back the way it was before you made your first wish. Thus, you remember nothing, because everything is the way it was before you made any wishes. You now have one wish left."

"Okay," said the man, "I don't believe this, but what the heck. I've always wanted to understand women. I'd love to know what's going on inside their heads." "Funny," said the genie as it granted his wish and disappeared forever, "That was your first wish, too!"

If you want to see through a tent, make parts of your canvas tent from clear flexible plastic; get some plastic windows for it and coat the windows with that gel used on automobile windows that conceals the occupants. Or, just sleep with the flaps up with your head outside and your body inside that tent. - Sleep in a bedroll outside the tent.

I have been in your situation. I developed my product by myself and got it to market. And i thought i would make lots of money and people would rip me off. Guess what. Neither of those things happened. My product was too unsought and niche. The ideas i hear too often fall into that category. My advice to any inventor is to honestly assess the mass market appeal of their idea and be willing to revise their expectations.

 Hi I'm Steven Rhodes a young 22 year old inventor who needs to get the ball rolling however Edisonnation takes there little sweet time in finding the right invention to sponsor, that's why I have contacted you, maybe you know who or where to go to have this process sped up. My product is the only one of its kind and there is a huge need for globally not just here in the states (Any large facility that has drop ceiling and a maintenance crew)I'd say thats in every city, hmmmm lots of money). I know my product will make it to the shelves however each day I let pass knowing that my prototype is ready for manufacturing frustrates me, because I am the unlucky type to have it stolen right from under me and I don't want that to happen considering I may never have to work again because of my ingenuity, this product is ready for the public it just needs to move forward on someone else's dime as they will reap the benefits as well. I have prototype and a video of its operation. If you can provide me with the right path to success thank you and have a good day.

 Stevin Rhodes -

Of course you have the most desirable invention in the world and your problem is that the door you have opened only fits a small head (or is that 'small body?') and you keep beating your head against a brick wall or one of a harder material and you are afraid that if you stop beating your head, that it will feel good; but you don't want your head to feel good - it's your wallet that should feel no pain, but alas, the more you force yourself with undue determination [as you were told in those books you read], the more time you are spending --> > and it's true, "time is money." But are you wasting your time?

[How should I know?]

You expect me or any other knowledgeable mentor to roll over with ecstatic anticipation because you say that you have an invention that the world needs and you are afraid that the boogeyman will take it away from you - [[You are brilliant and genius - Yes, "YOU" ;-) ]].

Really - I've heard that before!

Let's Play Games: You don't tell me about your Invention and I don't tell you what will make it successful. -- Stalemate.

You may tell me more, and I waste my time?

You tell me more, and I'm impressed!! I won't even steal your idea. (But I won't comment on your idea, either.)

You tell me more, and sweeten my palm with money and I'll tell you enough to keep you from losing sleep, losing valued time, and wasting your money. That's business.

However, I will warn you: Even after telling you:

1. You may not quit working on this idea of yours when you should quit.
2. You may not find angels willing to gamble with/or on you to make you rich.

And as always, as the Genie would say, -"You should be careful when getting what you wish for, for you may live to regret it."

Date: Tuesday, November 27, 2007 9:40 AM 

Dear Mr. Scheinkman:

My company, Offshore Technologies, Inc., represents a U.S. owned, U.S. managed company located in Shenzhen, China that specializes in sourcing, inspection, packaging, and assembly of product in China. We are not brokers, but instead serve as fee based project managers, depending on the specific requirements of the customer. Our unique approach to sourcing in China provides our U.S. clients with high quality, competitively priced, timely delivered product as well as allowing these client companies direct access to the Chinese manufacturers.

Here are four key advantages to working with us:

· We provide a “firewall” between overseas manufacturer’s and the U.S. market by packaging and assembling product in our own secure facilities in Shenzhen, China, thereby eliminating any concerns over having your product “knocked off”.

· We provide inspection services in China, either at our own facilities or at the supplier’s facility, for the product being manufactured. Inspection is done per your own specific requirements.

· We provide assistance to U.S. companies in identifying and evaluating potential Chinese sources for specific product required by U.S. companies.

· We will manage the sourcing logistics with the overseas supplier(s), with all pricing, logistics, VAT fees, costs, etc. completely transparent to you and your company.

Would these services be of interest to you and/or your membership? Please let me know if you would like further information. Thanks, Bob Burgess.

I am living and working in China full time doing exactly what I know best which is assisting my customers in getting their inventions to the marketplace. I work in all types of materials and there is no project which is too large or too small.

I have the advantage of being here with full time bi-lingual help working with the factories directly on a real time basis. I do not charge any fees as my services are for making product. Of course, I will be more then happy to share my experiences and the knowledge I have accumulated.

The information shown below is how you can reach me. You can also call me at 212-832-4808 which is a Vonage phone and connects to me in China. There is a time difference, don't be concerned about this, just leave a message and I will call you back immediately.

QVC -- Attention Inventors: Your Packaging Is As Important As Your Patent

-- Inventors invent products, but it is the packaging that is going to sell them. The average consumer spends less than three seconds making up their minds whether or not to buy a product. Consequently, you need to influence that purchasing decision. The best way to do that is with the right packaging. The right package is your "silent salesperson" and it will create the buzz that will compel consumers to pick your product off the shelf or place an order from the Internet.

-- Packaging is your finest and most cost effective option to persuading consumers to pick up your invention and take a closer look. Be aware that packaging an invention or a product is complicated. One mistake and you could be back to square one -- not only will the consumer not buy your product it may not even see the retailer’s shelf. Everyday I hear horror stories about product packaging that failed at retail or never made the grade to make it to the shelf. Recently, a QVC representative told me that only one out of five products make it through the QVC quality process. She indicated that much of the failure is derived from poor packaging. When that happens, unfortunately, you have wasted a lot of money in the process. The average product invests $7,000 in package design and development before the launch. So, it pays to do it right the first time and understand the obstacles before they become insurmountable.

-- So what's an inventor who knows nothing about packaging or even where to start supposed to do? I have created just the resource for you, "Packaging Your Invention." You can find packaging insider tips, technologies and packaging innovations to help you get started at http://packagingyourinvention.com/. There is plenty of free advice to point you in the right direction.

-- Why should you listen to me? I have more than 30 years of extensive experience in packaging. When I spoke at the Invention Show, a listener had this to say about my program on "Packaging Your Invention To Sell." :: "I learned a lot of good information about packaging. Your class opened my eyes to the importance of good packaging and how it relates to your invention's success. I could tell that you have extensive knowledge and keep up on all the trends of the industry." (signed) The Average Inventor

-- So don't wait until it is so late that you are going off in the wrong direction with your product packaging. When you think about your patent, think about your packaging too. The most important thing to remember is that without a package you cannot have an invention in the market place and without the right packaging your invention will never sell.
