Application help

Submitted on February 7th, 2007 by Anonymous (not verified)

Is there anyone online who can help with the application? I have filled out, but I want to make sure I don't miss anything. Or wrongly answer a question that will disqualify me.

I only have one shot and it starts with the application.

If you have a specific

If you have a specific question, it may make sense for you to post about it on our forums. A nujmber of the applicants (and last seasons finalists) check in there regualrly and they may be able to provide you with some great advice.

Good luck

appl. & royalties

Submitted on February 8th, 2007 by Anonymous (not verified)

For the application- do the best you can. The main questions- how to contact you and have you told anyone else about it, and what protection you now have are the main ones. Even then I believe they don't look too closely and other inventions is really not any business of theirs unless you are presenting them to them. Otherwise N/A.

For the royalty % the winner got as I understand it an unbelievable 25%. But is only good if it makes it to the market- which it has not yet or maybe never unless all bugs are solved? The word ace got a minimum 5% even though it was patented. As a rule patented gets 10%, but Ed's patent had been around a while and will run out sooner. The word Ace is not on the market yet either! The stipulations last season wass the invention must be able to hit the market within 3 months. Mine could have, but never made it past the first audition.

Application help. I formed a Company

Submitted on February 12th, 2007 by Anonymous (not verified)

When I came up with my concept, I jumped the gun and formed a company to sell the product. I always kept 100% rights to the product. I gave stock away to future partners for prepayment of services (i.e. financial, legal, etc)

I could not raise the money to get the product produced so I closed the company. I have the dissolution paperwork of the company and simple signed statements from my former partners stating the concept is solely owned by me.

Do you see a problem with the application process here?

Thanks for the insight!
