Meet the Author

Harvey Reese is a product developer and noted licensing agent who has licensed more than 100 of his own products to industry, as well as the creations of other inventors whom he represents as their licensing agent. He's a regular contributor to Inventor's Digest, and his Web site, Money4ideas.com, is read every year by more than 100,000 inventors from around the world.

Table of Contents

Preface.

1. The 12 amazing mistakes, bloopers, errors, wretched miscalculations, boners, goof-ups and simply stupid moves made by many new inventors (not meaning you, of course).

2. Product licensing is a favorite path to riches for   many inventors; is it the right one for you? Here's all you need to know to make your choice, and here are the critical licensing steps taken by other successful inventors.

3. Marketing your idea yourself might be the perfect decision - or maybe not. Here's everything you need to know about your idea, your goals and yourself to make the right choice.

4. Think someone might steal your idea? Here's everything you need to know about patents, trademarks and copyrights (when you need them and when you don't).

5. Getting and keeping everything that's coming to you. All about proprietorships, general partnerships, limited partnerships and all the corporation structure options.

6. Need money? How much? Here's how to figure what you need, where to find it and how to get it. All about working with angels, bankers, lenders, investors and your rich Uncle Louie.

7. How to create the kind of powerful presentation material for your new product idea or invention that'll knock the socks off of whomever you present it to.

8. It's show time! Lights! Action! How to get you and your great product idea in front of the right person at the right company who can make your dreams come true.

9. Meeting with the manufacturer, licensee, or investor. What to do and what to say to make your talents and hard work pay off (It's easier than you think!).

10. Reaping the harvest. Use my own battle-tested licensing agreement to bring you all the rewards that your talents and hard work deserve.

11. Meet our panel of successful Inventors.
