How to bring an idea or product to market-What should I do?

[stoltzk]

Hi everyone,

I am new to this forum, in fact I don't really do forums unless my car is broken and I need information on how to fix it. I wanted to start this thread to bring together credible information and knowledge on how to bring to market ideas and products, especially for those that have never done it. It is my hopes that people with experience in this area can offer good information to help the rest of us.

I currently have a prototype of an improved existing product and I'm fighting (in my head) to figure out if I should pursue patenting and licensing myself or if I should go with a professional company (InventionHome.com etc.) for my first rodeo. There are fees involved and a 20% take. I hear stories of people having trouble getting in front of companies to pitch their ideas so I really don't know which path to take.

Anyone with experience in this area is more than welcome to post here, it would be a great help for those in the same situation. Hopefully MJ will be able to make some comments and help out.

Thanks
Keith
