The Inventor's Notebook

This book is especially designed to help document key steps in the invention process--conceiving, building and testing the invention, legally protecting it, marketing and financing. It helps inventors organize all the necessary information in one location, so that the completed notes serve as the foundation for the legal protection of the idea. Includes worksheets, checklists and sample agreements.

Face it: It's not enough to simply have a good idea for an invention, build it yourself, and expect to retire to Millionaire Acres. It doesn't work that way anymore, if it ever did. Here's a meticulous guide to the process of documenting and bringing your inventive ideas to the marketplace written by a successful inventor and a longtime patent attorney. All you would-be Thomas Edisons should have this book in your library.
