A common misconception is that once the person has a patent, their invention will automatically be on the market, earning money.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I get the Patent on My New Invention Noticed by a Corporation?<\/h3>\n<p>A patent-holding individual, who is pursuing a new invention idea on their own, must do at least one of the following to get the interest of a corporation:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Invest a significant amount of money into manufacturing the product in the hope that it will sell.<\/li>\n<li>Sign over the patent to a corporation that, in turn, manufactures the product and pays the inventor royalties.<\/li>\n<li>Sell the rights to the patent for a set fee.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>More often than not, these efforts are unsuccessful. This may be disappointing news for someone who has allocated resources toward putting a patent on their product idea that is now at a standstill.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to have your patented product prepared and presented to corporations for possible licensing, we recommend you fill out the <a id=\"content-link-alreadyhavepatent-idea-guide\" class=\"ga-track-link\" title=\"Fill out our free information form\" href=\"\/free_information.html\">free information form<\/a> and Davison will send you information on how to get started.
