In our opinion, nobody will work harder to develop, market and or license your invention than you will!

Important - Please read carefully:

Island Patent is a patenting firm. We are not a marketing. licensing, or a prototyping company. However, the organizations listed below have been reported by independent inventors as being helpful. As such, we decided to provide the most recently available contact information for these organizations.

The listing of the companies provided below should not be considered as any sort of an endorsement. We do not provide any guarantees, either implied or expressed, regarding the accuracy of the information provided below. If you decide to contact a listed company or organization, and commission their services, you do so at your own risk. To date we have received no verbal or written complaints from any individual or business entity that has used these organizations.

We do recommend that you take your time, and use caution. Agencies that are government sponsored or subsidized, are generally considered more trust worthy then private invention development companies. In addition, they seem to provide a great value for the services rendered.

REGARDING INVENTION DEVELOPMENT COMPANIES... Use extreme care when dealing with so called invention promotion, invention marketing, and invention development companies. See our link Inventor's Beware for more information on invention promotion and development companies.

So... go slow, be thorough, and be careful. There are certainly people out there that can and will help. You just need to find them.

Good Luck!
