Have a Brilliant Idea? Be Quirky

anyone have a good idea how to get rid of Kim K

what i did was file my patent, with the USPTO.GOV .first got my fileing date,then found very good attorneys,(registered attorneys) and let them take over from there,they use legal wording to describe the invention. if you have an idea that would be my recomendation

So companies like this can take your idea and just change it a tad bit..just a tad bit...and claim it is no longer your idea and not have to pay you or include you. You can complain and try to generate bad press, but the fact is they changed your idea just a tad bit...so it is no longer your idea. Not to mention the tons of folks who build your idea get a cut of the money. If you do get money, it is not going to be a lot. For something you came up with, you only get 10% royalties??? Are you kidding me??? Really. It is not going to be thousands of dollars a year that you get lol...

Keep your cards VERY close to your chest.....

there is a local company here that gives prizes for invention ideas. My idea was not chosen, but guess what? its now in mass production. I was robbed with this same scam.

I have an idea - how about NO ADS!

Twenty seven years ago I got a patent 4474204 on a new type of hospital walker that helps people to stand up so that they are in a position to walk. I've never been able to sell it cause to get it on the market most companies wouldn't sell it unless it had Medicare approval. Medicare approval requires months and years of testing in different situations and with many different types of patients and costed tens of thousands of dollars which I couldn't afford. I'm sure that this type of walker would help many patients as one of my friends at the time was a physical therapist and she said it worked well in many situations. My mom had troubles standing up cause her stroke wouldn't allow her to stand. But, with my walker with a little practice she did fine.

Have had workable ideas for many years, but it takes money to make money and a nondisclosure clause means nothing anymore, if you don't have the patent you're screwed and it takes money to get the patent. I have been sitting on a workable BIG moneymaking idea for 25 years, but it will take about $100thousand in R&D. Once on the market it will be making at least 200 million the first year and it is self perpetuating from generation to generation. As I said, it takes money to make money!

I sent mine certified to myself. Detailed, witnessed and dated so no one could say they had it first.

Hey! Can I pay $10 to have my idea stolen too?

Its a scam !!!!

The Quikry Kids have confirmed extreme hype (along with 20 million venture captal) can carry the ball for a few years but what about long term. Despite numerous PR stunts and never ending publicity, such as the Sundance channel program and Moneyball reinventing the bicycle, they failed to generate sufficient interest (typically 1000 to 1,500 purchase committments) in a few dozen product designs. So much for their defunct social sales approach. The ill-fated presale program has been discontinued.

It appears Pivot Power is their claim to fame -- serving to underscore the influence of the hype factor -- given the fact it is overpriced and lacks features availble in similar products. Socket Sense is more functional while offering 33 percent savings. This side by side comparison illustrates the Quirky philosophy; take an existing product designed to accept bulky power converter (Socket Sense) and make it bendable and more costly. Hmmmmm.

Quirky isn't the first company who intended to tap the collective brain power of the garage inventor, but two (viable) products a week is clearly unrealistic, unless of course you are sipping the Quirky juice. Kaufman: We design two brand new products a week with help from people all around the world.

.. be very wary.. it's tough enough, even WITH a patent.! I have a few patents- my latest invention is already patented, & has a website.. & I recently saw it advertized, by someone else.. here on Yahoo, no less.! Now, I gotta sue for Patent Right Infringement.. a Loo,ooo,ong, process, made worse by the recent law introduced by Harry Reid, & signed in Sept.'11, by our Illustrious Leader, who is 'supposed' to be "pro small bid'nizz'..

So really people have to pay money to have their idea stolen or do they ever get anything for coming up with it?

I have a idea,opps forgot, can't tell you.

I wish I had invented an easy way to get $10 from the masses.

Years ago I went through an invention company. All I did was waste a lot of money. They reallly don't help you, they just want your money. They don't even tell you if you are far enough along on an idea to make it worth their time to push it on industry.
They just want your money. I'd be very wary of this thing.

If you reveal your invention to others before you patent it, yuo give up the right to patent it. You can not patent, copyright, or trademark an 'idea'. Yo need a model, book, drawing, or such.

Beats Edison Nation, whos employees steal your ideas and hands them over to the government!

My invention would be to invent a way to extract great ideas from the public so I can copyright them myself. Wait. What? #$%$
