“Absolutely STOKED!!!! I think that for the first time ever licensing will be taught to high school research students. I am beyond grateful and humbled by this collaboration and opportunity to young innovators that will change the world one day. Thank you Stephen Key and Madeleine Key for making this possible. We will surely be creating ripples.

Stephen Key knowing you and your passion for your cause, I can’t say enough as to how special this is for me. My kiddos across the globe who are working with me on various projects are very lucky.

To support our kiddos with their innovative mindsets, we as a society and community should extend our hand to make a difference and inventRight is one of the few who have come forward to do just that.”

“I just want to reiterate how appreciative I am of you and your course. Your help allowed my product to come to life and taught me skills to develop successful ideas in the future. Thank you again for being an amazing mentor. Without you, your ideas and encouragement, none of the above would have been possible. Thank you!!!!”

“It was great to be able to be taken seriously as a kid and to be taught these valuable skills. I felt encouraged to pursue my passions, which was such a contrast from what most people say, which is “just wait till you’re older.” I learned a lot by going through the program and they gave great learning material. I was pleasantly surprised by how easy the whole process was. The way the program was taught made everything easy to follow and understand. I truly feel like anyone my age can learn how to do it. I was given the right tools, resources, and encouragement to start licensing on my own.

I went through the program with an idea for rubber wheel covers that you could put on your plastic trash bin wheels so that they don’t make so much noise when rolling. I reached out to many companies, each time more confident than the last. The program taught me what to say, and how to say it when talking to companies. I eventually got three companies that were interested. However, they were not interested in manufacturing the product, only selling it. Nevertheless, I was able to find an idea I thought would work, write and file a provisional patent application, make my own sell sheet, and contact companies that gave me positive responses. For my first try at licensing, I would call that a success.

I am almost 18 now and have started my own company. Our business model is centered around licensing. None of it would have been possible if it weren’t for the skills that I learned at inventRight.”

“I want to thank you again for all your help in introducing us to the world of licensing.

I see it as an amazing avenue to explore innovation without needing copious amounts of startup money. I loved the 9th lesson about negotiation since it covered many details of what I could say. For example, I know now not to rush the process of finding a royalty rate, and I know how to continuously get royalties in the grant of license.

I look forward to keeping in touch with you as I go into my next endeavors. This could include discussing options for my company SENSEHydro, or it could mean learning even more. I have a few ideas in store which I would like to license as soon as possible, so I will be working on those as well. I will make sure to create a sell sheet and possibly a video demonstration for the ideas since those appear the most convincing to companies.

Once again, thank you!”
