It covers selling via your own website, selling via a platform like eBay or Etsy, and licensing.
Enjoy!
February 2012 Meeting
Great meeting today at the Innovation Center!
Good group and a great discussion about getting started with the right blend of attention to both protecting your IP and also getting your business off of the ground and making money.
We saw two great inventor presentations.
Jordan Ross, a 14 year old middle school student, presented his vision for a new type of television product.
Michael Rusher had just received a new prototype for his respiratory therapy product.
Jim Bradley finally had someone here with whom he could speak Russian! Ekatherine Vaynberg was here from Moscow visiting the Innovation Center.
January 2012 Meeting Pics
Lots of folks at the meeting this January. What a good crowd!
Thanks to Jim Bradley for giving us an introduction to TRIZ.
Michael Rusher spent some time walking us through his invention, a medical device for respiratory therapy. Very cool, Michael!
Dan Templeton and Ace McKay whiteboarded Ace’s invention (which we will leave confidential for now). Good luck figuring out the concept from this sketch.
