If you're interested in working with inventor services, here's inventor information that can help you avoid making a costly mistake.
The American Inventors Protection Act of 1999 gives you a few protections when dealing with invention promoters and invention licensing companies. Before they can enter into a contract with you, they must disclose the information about its business practices during the past five years including:
- how many inventions it has evaluated,
- how many of those inventions got positive or negative evaluations,
- its total number of customers,
- how many of those customers received a net profit from the promoter's services,
- how many of those customers have licensed their inventions due to the promoter's services.
This information can help you decide which invention services firm you want to hire.
