The Missing Link in Product Licensing: inventRight Gateway

by | Jul 21, 2025 | 0 comments

Licensing

You had a solid idea for a new product, so you built a prototype, protected it, and refined your pitch for licensing consideration. Now companies aren’t responding to you. You aren’t sure they’ve even seen what you’ve developed. You’re wondering what you are doing wrong. How will you license your product onto the marketplace without being able to grab their attention?

It’s the same problem we’ve seen for 25 years at inventRight: Outreach. 

Outreach is the step that sinks even the most promising product ideas. It’s not your fault—it’s the nature of the game. And that’s exactly why we created Gateway.

The Real Product Licensing Bottleneck: Access

Most inventors aren’t getting rejected. They’re getting ignored.

Your product might be great. Your pitch might be persuasive. But if your email never reaches a decision-maker—or worse, lands in a spam folder—it doesn’t matter. Companies are overwhelmed. Their inboxes are flooded. They’re wary of legal risks, off-brand submissions, and time-wasters. Unless they already trust the source, most ideas never even get looked at.

That’s the problem inventRight’s new service, Gateway, solves.

From Teaching Product Licensing to Doing

For decades, inventRight has taught inventors how to license their products through its one-of-a-kind coaching program. Our members have had incredible success. Check out products invented and commercialized from our members here.

But again and again, we heard the same thing:

“I can do everything you taught me… except get a company to actually respond.”

So we decided to evolve. With Gateway, we’re doing the hard work of pitching for you.

We’ve built relationships with nearly 800 companies across dozens of industries—companies that are actively open to reviewing outside product ideas. And when a vetted Gateway submission hits their inbox, they know it’s worth their time. That trust makes all the difference.
