Book Description

August 1, 1993
Reap the profits of your own imagination… How to License Your Million Dollar Idea Everything You Need to Know to Make Money from Your New Product Idea You’ve seen them on TV, in business magazines, and as the subjects of case studies in major business schools: ordinary people who have parlayed their simple, clever ideas for new products or services into millions of dollars. What’s the difference between these success stories and the people who say, "Hey, I had that idea years ago"? The former had the motivation and information necessary to license their idea and turn it into profit. In How to License Your Million Dollar Idea, Harvey Reese, a successful new product developer reveals his system for creating commercially profitable ideas and his secrets for turning them into lucrative licensing agreements. Not only will you find nuts-and-bolts information on the licensing process, you’ll also learn how to formulate an idea and—more importantly—motivate yourself to get out there and make it work for you. How to License Your Million Dollar Idea:
  • Shows you how to turn a product or service idea into profit without risking your own financial resources
  • Takes you through the entire licensing process step-by-step, from formulating the idea, researching the competition, and obtaining patents, to finding prospects, negotiating the deal, and beyond
  • Offers examples of successful licensing ventures including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles®, Pound Puppies®, and Monopoly®
  • Includes sample patent forms, licensing agreements, disclosure statements, and more

4.0 out of 5 stars Chock Full of Info!, May 30, 2000
This review is from: How to License Your Million Dollar Idea: Everything You Need to Know to Make Money from Your New Product Idea (Paperback)
This book is one of the best I have read so far. The author lists lots of how to tips for all phases of the invention process. I, like another reviewer of this book, only wish the author had an e mail address so I could communicate with him. I really learned somethings that I could DO from this book. (some supposedly how-to books only tell how the author did it! ) This book helps to end some of the frustration that arises from having a great product--and not knowing where to go with it! Thanks

5.0 out of 5 stars Harvey Reese knows what he is talking about, June 14, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: How to License Your Million Dollar Idea: Everything You Need to Know to Make Money from Your New Product Idea (Paperback)
My mind is always working and coming up with ideas. Until I read this book, I had no idea what to do with them or how I could make money on them. I always thought that I would need a patent.

By reading this book, Harvey Reese took me step by step through the ideation, creation, and licensing of new product ideas.

Mr. Reese has licensed a number of his ideas in the toy industry and has been very successful. This book gave me the get up an go to get out there and make money off of my ideas.

BTW, I found Harvey's website. It's www.money4ideas.com for anyone that would like to know. He did not put this in his book, but it is an excellent resource and a way to get a hold of him.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most reader-friendly and useful books on licensing, April 19, 1999
This review is from: How to License Your Million Dollar Idea: Everything You Need to Know to Make Money from Your New Product Idea (Paperback)
Most "how to" books (on any topic) are often boring and technical. This book was an easy and riveting read from cover to cover, and it managed to convey all of the important information that I need to get started on licensing my invention. It's great for giving you a thorough overview of licensing and patenting, from which you can take immediate action. It's also a good starting point if you want to move onto more technical (and unfortunately dry) sources of information. Since I am an Australian, a chapter with more of an international perspective would have been helpful.
