Have you ever had an idea or a dream and have wished you could take it further but don’t know exactly what to do? Maybe a book like this can help, either showing you there is a way forward or enabling you to critically examine the idea before you throw away too much time and money on a dead-end project, a problem that many inventors can face.This book, now in its fourth edition, can be a go-to book for both the inexperienced tinkerer and the more experienced inventor alike. Written from a North American-perspective, there is a lot of advice to help you “stress test” your thinking, streamline your plans and move to possibly exploiting, selling or marketing the product of your mind. Even for those who are based in other countries, this book is capable of providing a very welcome and needed “helping hand”. There are many ways to possibly go forward, this book explains, looking at more recent innovations such as crowdfunding and crowdsourcing, as well as giving a considered opinion on the more traditional routes an inventor may take.Increasingly there is a market for private inventors to sell or licence the efforts of their endeavours to existing companies, even though this can be fraught with problems. It doesn’t help that many greenhorn inventors make elementary mistakes such as approaching the wrong people with the wrong proposal – so any “right solution” may just get lost in the noise. This book seeks to refine this entire process through education, propelling the astute reader and inventor to handle things the right way, through the right person, saving everyone time, trouble and stress. Success is not guaranteed, of course, but the overall chance of success is improved if you aim the right solution at the right target with the right approach.
