Online Tutorial on Refining Idea Concept

Here’s a jewel of information for the average inventor.  Planet Eureka!, operated by Merwyn Research, Inc., provides free on-line tutorials for getting your invention noticed and to the market. The FREE Merwyn Business Translation Workshop includes nine videos and a downloadable workbook that walks you through the process of translating your idea into a simple description. You can then use your workbook to pitch your idea to others or use the fee-based services provided through the Merwyn Business Simulation Research and post your idea on their searchable website.  Caution – simulation research is not cheap!

Planet Eureka! is also a searchable website where you can look-up other innovations or seek manufacturers that may be looking for your type of product.  Planet Eureka! is supported by the USA National Innovation Marketplace, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and the Manufacturing Extension Partnership, the Kauffman Foundation and others.
