Inventors:   *** Learn from the Experts ***   

Here is a unique opportunity to prepare yourself, your product, your “pitch” and marketing materials for licensing.  Learn how to submit your product, identify potential licensees, and take advantage of the Open Innovation (product submission) programs at many companies.  Note that this is great preparation for the upcoming Top Dog Direct “Pitch Event” on Sept 18th – this is the perfect opportunity to develop or hone your pitch.  (Save the date – further info forthcoming on “Pitch Event” details).

Warren Tuttle is a successful direct marketer (Smart Spin, MISTO, etc.), and now oversees the Open Innovation program for several companies (Lifetime Brands – 20K+ kitchenware products;  Techtronics Industries – hardware products, including Ryobi & Rigid).  In addition, Warren is the President of the United Inventors Association (uiausa.org), and has counselled many inventors who secured licensing agreements or started their own “direct-to-market” companies.
