Turned inventRight guidance into a licensing yes

How inventRight’s invention licensing coaching helped Frank land a licensing agreement for his entire product line

Independent inventor, Frank Rathgeber, used inventRight’s free content to learn licensing, refine his idea into multiple variations, and present himself professionally to companies. After his first company meeting, coaching with Paul Sorenson helped him sharpen his approach and communicate confidently on his own. By staying consistent through obstacles and repeated rejection, he secured a licensing agreement for his entire product line, with a summer launch planned across multiple channels.

“Just over two years ago, my journey began with “One Simple Idea”.

Shortly after, I discovered inventRight TV as a source of guidance. It was then I learned about licensing. I was immediately hooked and anxious to learn more.

I was able to educate myself at no cost by watching countless inventRight videos and reading one of their books. Their content outlined a clear sequence of steps. With their guidance, I even developed multiple product variations, resulting in a six-item product line.

In no time, I had professional samples, filed well-written provisional patent applications, and designed marketing materials with one-line benefit statements that would capture the attention of CEO’s and Presidents.

I gained an understanding of the importance of maintaining a professional LinkedIn profile and email signature. I learned how to identify the appropriate contacts within companies and reach out with concise, to-the-point messages.

After generating interest and arranging my first company meeting, I began receiving professional one-on-one coaching from Paul. His coaching gave me the know-how to eventually communicate with other companies on my own.

Despite facing constant obstacles and repeated no’s along the way, I never considered quitting. A familiar phrase on inventRight TV was “a no is one step closer to a yes”.

Today, I got my yes and secured a licensing agreement with a great company for my entire product line. The products are scheduled to launch this summer through multiple distribution channels.

I want to thank Stephen, Andrew, Paul, Dana, and Chad at inventRight for providing me with the tools needed to turn my vision into reality.

I also want to thank the previous inventRight members and guests who shared their stories of success.

I could not have done it without you all as my mentors.

Keep inventing, everyone!
