2023 será el año de oro para los inventores
El gran inconveniente para inventores como tú, es el acceso a la financiación privada para dar los primeros pasos.
Las puertas de los principales foros de inversión y eventos para emprendedores han estado muy cerradas para proyectos emprendedores con productos hardware (productos físicos).
Las Patentes NO se venden. ¡ Se compran!
Esta semana le dije a un potencial cliente: “Paco, las Patentes No se Venden. Se compran”
Me miró con cara rara y… ¡chupito!
3D printing is not the prototype
La impresión 3D no es el prototipo Hola Amigo: Yo pensaba que era una obviedad. Estaba convencido de que nadie podría confundir estos
It is key to study the feasibility of the invention
I know you're convinced that your invention works.
I also know that you see little interest in investing money in studying its feasibility.
Well. 70% of the inventors we work with have that blind FE because they have been fed with a couple of drawings in the patent company on duty.
Magic or engineering
As you know, I've been BLACK for a couple of weeks because of the number of semi-deceived customers that are coming to us.
Especially those that come with Utility Models under the arm.
The vast majority, with claims of innovation and descriptions, very little serious

Ideas Written on Cocktail Napkins vs. Business Opportunities
We all come up with ideas, sometimes in a bar, others in the shower…
The truth of the matter is that we toss and turn all night going over and over it in our heads… “If it works out, I’ll be loaded.” “And if I fail…”
Starting today, it will be easier for you to differentiate between business opportunities and ideas written on a cocktail napkin.
What Type of Inventor Are You?
Coming up with ideas is important, but managing them properly is essential.
Although it may sound harsh, I am convinced that the success of a new product depends just 5% on a great idea.
Please note that the other 95% depends on the decisions made during the course of the process.

How Much Does It Cost to Manufacture a Prototype?
This week I lost an inventor who I honestly thought would manufacture his prototype with us.
He’s screwed me over!
The deal has fallen apart for two reasons…
How Much Is Your Idea Worth?
Want to sell your idea? Already set a price?
Let me guess your answers:
“Yes” and “It’s negotiable.” I’d love to tell you that you’re very close to achieving it. But, as you know, I’m not very good at sweetening the truth. 🙂
