If you've invented something and don't know what to do next, this is the book you need. THE BUSINESS OF INVENTION is an easy-to-read, step-by-step guide to turning an original idea into a commercial product. It assumes you don't have any money to burn, so it tells you about low-cost ways of getting things done. It tells you how to avoid mistakes, stay in control and limit your risk along the way; that often costs nothing but can hugely improve your prospects. And it gives detailed advice on what may be your biggest decision: do you licence your idea to a company, or do you make and market your own product? There's also a handy Checklist to keep track, and a list of helpful organisations. The authors have many years' experience of advising inventors and small businesses. Their earlier publication A BETTER MOUSETRAP was widely regarded as a 'must read' for inventors. THE BUSINESS OF INVENTION is better still..
