The author, himself a successful inventor with many years' experience of bringing inventions to market, shows how to avoid the many problems and pitfalls facing inventors as they chart this course. He shows inventors how to plan and manage the process, who to approach for support - whether financial, advisory, or operational - and how to ensure that at the end of the day they do earn their just rewards. The book is divided into two parts : the first provides in-depth advice on the various aspects of commercial development, including origination, negotiation with manufacturers, patenting, and product development. The second part includes an extensive description of all the specific sources of advice and support for inventors - from government agencies such as the Business Links, through Technology Bureaux, Design Consultants, Competitions and Awards, Invention Brokers, and last but not least, Venture Capitalists and other sources of finance." 000023280 520__ $$aWe are all inventors at heart, but most inventors never make money from their creations, either through lack of capital, time or commitment. Lawrence shows where to start, who to approach, and how to get inventions launched and marketed. 000023280 650_0 $$aPatents$$zUnited Kingdom. 000023280 650_0 $$aInventions$$xMarketing. 000023280 650_0 $$aInventions. 000023280 650_0 $$aInventors$$zUnited Kingdom. 000023280 650_4 $$aPATENTS : PERSONS PROTECTED, CATEGORIES OF RIGHTS IN GENERAL : INVENTORS OR INNOVATORS AND THEIR RIGHTS : UNITED KINGDOM 000023280 650_4 $$aINVENTORS : FINANCIAL SUPPORT 000023280 650_4 $$aINDUSTRIAL INNOVATION : MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY : UNITED KINGDOM 000023280 650_4 $$aBUSINESS OF INVENTION 000023280 650_4 $$aCREATIVITY 000023280 651_0 $$aUnited Kingdom$$xCommerce$$xLaw and legislation. 000023280 903__ $$v1 000023280 942__ $$cMON 000023280 952__ $$w2006-11-03$$p1999-1531$$r11.69$$u36562$$bMAIN$$10$$kG 31 LAW.B$$v1999-08-03$$ztagged$$71 000023280 980__ $$aBIB 000023280 999__ $$c25438$$d25438
