Successful inventors know the secret to success does not lie in patenting but in marketing. This book tells how to figure out whether the marketing has any chance of success before money is spent on getting a patent. Specifically this book sets out a 7 step process of easy to do, inexpensive actions that anyone can take and that about 85% of all successful inventors use-even ones that never get patents. However, patents are carefully explained including what free and inexpensive actions inventors should take to protect their rights to a patent while delaying its costs often until after the invention is selling as a profitable product. "Mr. White's book is not for light reading. It is the most technically competent book of its kind that I have come across-heavy with in-depth marketing advice. Very thorough. A valuable reference for inventors at any stage of experience." Jack Lander, Inventor's Digest columnist. "This book is a virtual 'pocket manual' that presents crisp, easy to find information on the myriad invention marketing and marketability issues inventors will encounter on their way to invention success." Andy Gibbs, www.PatentCafe.com. "This is a must read." Bill Baker, Minnesota’s Inventors Network. website: www.willitsell.com.
