Why We're the Best

Unlike other companies that offer to help inventors, we provide:

Superior Results. Our licensing rate is much higher than other companies – more than 2 times the industry average, based on information from the United States Patent & Trademark Office (at www.uspto.gov).
World-Class Team. Our high-performance and award-winning team of professionals has decades of experience developing and launching new products. Our executives come from leading companies, like Apple, The Sharper Image, Williams-Sonoma, and Target. In addition, our advisers come from top organizations like Sears, Kmart, Staples, Office Depot, and Harvard Business School.
Customized Solutions. Other companies offer a one-size-fits-all approach. We take the time to understand each inventor’s specific objectives, situation, and needs; and then prescribe the appropriate solution. We can and do help inventors at any stage of the process.
Inventor Focus. To each inventor client, we assign a dedicated project manager, who proactively communicates frequent updates to the client. To ensure the highest level of satisfaction, we also provide our clients with three surveys during the first four months.
Strong Relationships. Unlike other companies that rely entirely on mass mailings to market their clients’ inventions, our team speaks directly and persistently with decision-makers, on the phone and in person. This extra effort and expense pays off; companies come to us again and again seeking new products.
Advanced Technology. To get your invention noticed and licensed, we invest in state-of-the-art tools; from the latest engineering and design software to powerful networked computers and industrial prototype machines.
Financial Resources. We have invested over $35 million building our business. In addition, we are financially backed by a top-tier Silicon Valley venture capital firm. They reviewed hundreds of investment opportunities before deciding to invest in our company. And with $400 million under management, they provide access to significant growth capital.
Media Recognition. Our executives and products have been praised in leading publications. Our CEO was recently featured in the San Francisco Examiner, and our products have received positive reviews in USA Today, Business Week, The Wall Street Journal, and more.
Solid Integrity. Unlike other companies that will tell you what you want to hear, we tell it like it is. And we’ll provide more than a second opinion. We can tell you what 300 independent consumers think of your invention.

If you want our top-notch capabilities behind your invention, contact us today. We can guide you over the phone, or we can even arrange to meet with you at our corporate headquarters located in the Design/SOMA district of San Francisco.
