Do you have a patented or patent-pending product idea you want to get on store shelves? Edison Nation exists to get product ideas out of your head and onto retail shelves, all at no risk to you.
Visit: EdisonNation.com/InsiderLicensingProgram to learn more.
Edison Nation members who upgrade to our Insider membership are eligible to submit their patented or patent-pending ideas to our Insider Licensing Program for exclusive representation from our licensing experts. Here's how it works:
Preliminary Review. Our team will first perform a preliminary review to ensure your invention meets the program criteria. Factors that might keep your idea from moving forward include: your invention is too cost-prohibitive, has engineering challenges and/or major players in the marketplace have already launched products similar to yours. If none of these apply, your idea will be approved and move on to the preparation phase.
Preparation. At this time, we perform a "best partner" review. We take inventory of our retail and manufacturing contacts and begin to map out just who should learn more about your idea. We conduct a gap analysis and visit the store shelves to understand the market and to get an understanding as to where your idea fits. We develop the materials necessary to position your invention in the best possible light.
Pitching. Your idea moves into "finalist" mode and our team begins proactively pitching your idea. Our team is on the phone, on email and using our proprietary presentation system to get the attention of the industry's best. When a company expresses interest, we move into term sheets and negotiations. If a company expresses disinterest, we take note of this, too. We stay in constant contact with the licensee until we negotiate the best possible deal for you.
Outcome. In the end, the market decides what products will be successful. There are no guarantees. When the deal is signed, we'll share the good news with you. If for some reason we are not successful finding the best licensing partner for you, we'll let you know why and provide you this straightforward feedback as soon as possible.
