25 Years of inventRight: Join Our 25th Anniversary Celebration Contest & Win Big
1. Grand Prize: Premium Coaching Membership for 12 Months — 1 Winner (Value: $3,939)

The grand prize in our 25th anniversary contest is a Premium Coaching Membership Package valued at $3,939. This amazing prize includes:

The true value of this package lies in having a coach who is supportive, encouraging, and dedicated to helping you throughout the year. This kind of guidance can make a huge difference in your success. You can find more details here, but trust us, this package is packed with everything you need to take your ideas to the next level.
2. Design Packages — 3 Winners (Value: $699 each)
Alright, let's talk about the second prize. We’re giving away three design packages. Each package includes a sell sheet and a virtual prototype. A sell sheet is a one-page PDF that showcases your product and its benefits. It's a marketing tool with a picture of your product.
Don’t have a picture or a prototype? No problem. The package includes a virtual prototype that you can use in the sell sheet to create a complete marketing piece. This design package is valued at $699, and we're giving away three of them. Don’t miss your chance to win.
3. Product Evaluations — 5 Winners (Value: $299 each)
As part of our 25th anniversary celebration, we're giving away five product evaluations, each valued at $299. These sessions last for a full hour and are conducted by our head coach or our negotiation coach, Paul. Most often, Terry, who excels at these reviews, will handle your session.
During your product evaluation, you can discuss whatever you need. There is an onboarding survey to fill out beforehand, where you can specify your goals. The more details you provide to Terry before your meeting, the more beneficial your session will be. In just one hour, you'll gain valuable insights and a clear direction for your product.
While we can't perform miracles, with the right information from you, we'll help you understand your product's position in the market by the end of the call.
4. Smart IPs — 5 Winners (Value: $199 each)

Number four on our list: We're excited to give away five Smart IPs, each valued at $199. Developed in collaboration with patent attorney Gene Quinn, this program helps you file your provisional patent application effortlessly.
With Smart IP, you can draft your provisional patent and submit it to the patent office for just a $65 fee, avoiding typical costs ranging from $2500 to $3500 with a patent attorney. Filing a provisional patent application with the USPTO allows you to mark your invention as "patent pending" for a full year, giving you time to gauge interest in your idea. If there's interest, you can then follow inventRight's proven approach to negotiate further funding to convert your PPA into a non-provisional patent application.
This approach is particularly beneficial for those who are new to patenting and want to explore their ideas without committing heavily upfront.
5. 6 Months of LicenseThis! Membership — 11 Winners (Value: $174 each)
Number five on our list is a great prize. We're giving away 11 six-month memberships to LicenseThis!. Each membership is worth $174.
The LicenseThis! members call themselves the 29ers because the membership costs $29 a month. But you won’t have to pay a cent for the first six months if you win. We're excited to offer 11 of these memberships to our lucky winners.
So, what's included in LicenseThis! membership? You get access to all the same training materials our regular coaching students receive. You won't have a personal coach, but you can still go through the 10 steps, watch the training videos, read the materials, and check out various samples. It's a great way to get a solid understanding and move forward with your ideas. If you're used to watching our YouTube videos, this is much more structured and comprehensive.
Final Words
We're deeply grateful to our community, including our YouTube audience, members and fans for their incredible support. You've given us more than we could ask for, and we're excited to give back.
I'm not sure if I can explain it perfectly, but let me share why we do what we do here. Over 25 years, we've experienced so much. I can confidently say that being part of your journey and celebrating your successes has been incredibly rewarding for us. We want to express our gratitude to everyone who's watched our videos, read our articles and books, and joined the exciting world of pitching ideas with inventRight's guidance.
