"The Innovate! Manufacturing Support Program has been developed for the entrepreneurial inventor and is totally unique to the inventor assistance industry," says Joseph Lininger, Director of Marketing at InventHelp®. "Over the years, some InventHelp® clients have expressed an interest in developing their inventions into products on their own.  Such product development efforts are independent from InventHelp's attempts to submit their ideas to industry to try to obtain a good faith review from a company.  InventHelp® encourages these independent product development efforts and now is able to back these efforts with tangible support," adds Lininger.

Under the Innovate! Manufacturing Support Program, InventHelp® submission clients can utilize InventHelp® as a resource as the clients make arrangements on their own to get their inventions manufactured and distributed.  Lininger states, "InventHelp® may be able to help the inventor in locating a potential manufacturer in China or elsewhere.  Inventors can also request InventHelp's assistance in the design and packaging of their products.  In addition, if the inventor supplies adequate samples and inventory, InventHelp® can display the product at appropriate national trade shows and attempt to make sales on the inventor's behalf."

InventHelp® understands that the client's independent efforts to develop product inventory will require the client to incur expenses in addition to the fee already paid to InventHelp®.  Lininger states, "InventHelp® has addressed this cost factor by agreeing to pay up to 50% of the inventor's manufacturing costs to be capped at an amount equal to 50% of the fees paid to InventHelp® for its submission services.  There is no additional fee for the Innovate! Manufacturing Support Program."

"Inventors need to keep a balanced perspective," added Lininger. "While we believe that this program is an important opportunity for those clients who want to develop their inventions into products on their own, InventHelp® cannot guarantee or promise that an invention will sell on the marketplace and the likelihood of financial success is small."

Established in 1984, InventHelp® is America's largest inventor service firm with a network of more than 60 regional sales offices in the US, Canada, and abroad.  InventHelp® also sponsors INPEX, America's largest invention trade show.  For more information on the Innovate!
