Book Description (from the publisher)
You've just invented a new technology, the next best thing, a must-have product. So, now what? Patent it? Manufacture it? Sell it? If you're like most would-be Edisons, chances are your stroke of genius will collect dust in the garage, or harddrive, waiting for you to plot your next move. Fear not, intrepid creator-successful inventor and author Ronald Docie shares more than 20 years of valuable insight and experience in THE INVENTOR'S BIBLE, a guide to taking your ideas from concept to profit in record time. Using real case studies as examples, this definitive handbook tells you everything you need to know about marketing, licensing, or selling your invention: how to figure your invention's worth, who to trust (a.k.a. how to avoid getting ripped off), which companies might want your ideas, and what steps to take first. You dreamt it, you created it, and it actually works-let THE INVENTOR'S BIBLE pave your way to your first million.
