On episode 4 of Season 2 of Make48, teams meet with website experts to create a website for their invention. They also meet with pitch experts! As you will see, having a pitch can make or break you.  The inventions aren't going to sell themselves!

I'd like to give you a few tips on pitching!

First, understand what you are trying to sell and be focused.

Second, be able to describe succinctly the problem you are solving.

Third, be able to distinguish your invention from the competition.

Lastly, have a clear call to action - what do you want?

While inventors can have great ideas and know everything about their inventions, they often don’t know how to go about protecting those inventions. They try to get patents to protect their intellectual property but make avoidable mistakes and spend unnecessary money—and sometimes invest their life savings in inventions that are not patentable or lose their intellectual property to invention scamming companies.

For people who need help navigating the patent office, All About Inventing Everything You Need To Know About Patents From a Former USPTO Patent Examiner & Patent Attorney is invaluable. Andrea Hence Evans, former patent examiner at the USPTO and current patent attorney, has written this book to explain different types of patents, patent prosecution, how to avoid and correct rejections, and more! This book will help you understand your options to protect your invention and help you navigate your patent application through the USPTO.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT!
