Come on friends! Is this going to be like pulling teeth or god forbid, like talking about HOW MUCH MONEY ONE MAKES at one’s job? Let’s teach the newbees like myself how to get a product licensed with and without EN. Thank you in advance for your time. Lee

Thanks, Toni! I knew I could count on you. P.S. I’m with you Phillip!!! I’m looking for the money to patent also. The good thing is that the USPTO has a Provisional Patent now which gives a year’s time to license the product or raise enough money to patent it ourselves.

Lee & Phillip: It’s noteworthy that you don’t need to file for a patent in order to submit an idea to a Live Product Searches on Edison Nation. Check out the FAQ on the Opportunities tab for more information on why we believe the LPS does not qualify as public disclosure. Of course, if your idea is selected to be taken to market through a LPS, we take care of all of the patent expenses for you.
