Here is some great info we received from our strategic Partner, Stephen Key, www.inventright.com, that we want to share with you:
“I’ve discovered an opportunity I want to share with inventors, with patent and prototype holders, but above all, people with ideas - dreamers. The PBS television program Everyday Edisons is remarkable in its brilliance. The show, whose tagline is “Ordinary People, Extraordinary Ideas”, casts 10 to 12 contestants per season and details the steps taken in transforming their inventions and ideas into finished products. They do a fantastic job of depicting the ways in which a rudimentary idea CAN be brought to market.
Everday Edisons is currently holding casting calls throughout the country. It’s hard not to love a show that features inventors helping other inventors – it’s exactly what I strive to do. But beyond offering 10 to 12 people an unbelievable opportunity to see their dreams come true, Everyday Edisons’ casting calls feature educational seminars, experts from the United States Patent and Trademark Office, open forum discussions, and question and answer sessions with former contestants. Everyone wins – the opportunity to learn from such a wealth of industry professionals and successful inventors is rare.
Everyday Edisons offers one other supremely unique and important opportunity. Participants with factory prototypes or finished products will be reviewed not only by the judging panel, but by representatives from major corporations such as Bed Bath and Beyond, Home Depot, QVC, PetSmart, The Sharper Image, Staples and buybuyBaby. I cannot stress how amazing this is! Cut cold calling, cut needing to hound the marketing and sales departments of the companies you’re interested in presenting your idea to – they are all in a single location, at your disposal!
Although the likelihood you will be selected as one of 10 to 12 contestants is obviously slim, attending an Everyday Edisons’ casting call is worth it simply for the amazing collection of expertise and information. Stay connected in the inventing community – don’t miss this opportunity.
Also, I want to let you know that I’ll be giving a lecture you won’t want to miss at noon at the February 16th casting call in San Jose, CA.
My lecture will show you how to be concise and to the point when selling pitching your ideas. This is a CRITICAL skill every inventor needs to master.
If you can make it to the event, please come up to me and introduce yourself. I plan on being available at the event all day and I’d love to meet you.

]]>Dear Sirs,
I have a patent listed for sale on your website and it is the only listing I have anywhere for the sale of the patent. I have been contacted by a Dr. Lin Sai from the United Arab Emirates who is shipping, real estate, and manufacturing who wants to purchase my patent outright for a sum of $35 million dollars. Morover, he wants to ship the cash via diplomat attache to my home base in the USA and he wants to keep the deal discreet (no attorney or proxy involvement). This is obviously a hook routine to a Nigerian-type money transfer scheme and the inventors on your website are being targeted! You need to inform them as loudly as possible to these fraudulent attempts at bilking money from them. The specifics of each scheme may vary, but if they contacted me, then I’m sure there are other gullible inventors that will surely fall for their devious and dishonest plots.
Sincerely,
Jim Hacsi

]]>Accelerated examination allows any innovator in any technology to get a full patent review and decision within twelve months,” noted Jon Dudas, under secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property. In return for cutting the time to obtain a patent decision by 25-75%, the agency asks the applicant for a better application and process. Inventors who want speedy results can get them, so long as they help improve the process.”
If you have a new patent you’re applying for this could save you considerable time in receiving your patent. You will need to provide the USPTO with more focussed and detailed information so the examiners can more quickly come to the correct decision on your patent.
]]>The DC-AC Soft-Switching Inverter is an electronic circuit that changes direct current into alternating current. The patent is one of many listed on shop4patents.com and is listed in the Electronics Hardware and Circuitry category. His invention is new power control circuit and topology for charging or discharging high-capacitance capacitors to and from very high voltages which could become useful in applications such as regenerative braking devices and load-leveling in an HEV, EV, PHEV, or fuel-cell cars.
The Challenge, which is named in part for Modern Marvels(R), The History Channel’s signature series that showcases this nation’s passion for ingenuity and innovation, tapped a panel of famed inventors, technologists and industry experts to determine the top 25 inventions submitted from nearly 2,500 of the nation’s most innovative independent inventors. This spring, the Challenge will ultimately name the invention of one of these 25 Semi-Finalists as the 2007 Modern Marvel of the Year during Modern Marvels: Great Inventions Week on The History Channel May 15 - 17. Check your local listings for times.
Good luck, James. We are proud to have such a great invention on our site. We hope you win.
