How to publish an idea

To publish an idea you must be at least 18 years old and must be registered to the website.

To enter an idea are required, in addition to the title, a description and possibly pictures, drawings or videos associated to it, and the category it belongs to and keywords that will allow the contest to be found more easily.

You must indicate if it has particular characteristics (such as patents, working prototype, etc.) and the goal to be achieved by the publication (the purchase of the idea, the offer of participation in profits or otherwise. In the event of the purchase of the idea the ideator can provide a price or you can refer to the one requested by the buyer).

The ideas remain visible for a year or until removed by the ideator.

 

How to publish a contest 

To participate in a contest you must be at least 18 years old and must be registered to the website.

To enter a contest are required, in addition to the title, a description and possibly pictures, drawings or videos associated to it, and the category it belongs to and keywords that will allow the contest to be found more easily. A deadline must be provided, during which time answers will be accepted, and shorter than one year.

You must indicate if the answer must meet certain characteristics (such as patents, working prototype, etc.) and the goal to be achieved by the publication (the purchase of the idea, the offer of participation in profits or otherwise.

In the event of the purchase of one or more ideas that meet the requirements, a price can be provided or you can refer to the one requested by the inventor).

The contest can be launched either anonymously (will be visible only the chosen username) or not. To make the contest interesting, involving a larger number of participants and actually get what is required, in addition to careful assessment of what is offered as a reward, it must be described in as much detail as possible what the winner will get. It must be made explicit the need or requirement that needs to be satisfied, the goal you want to achieve, and in the case of a creative work, it’s very important to indicate the style you are interested in and features that it shouldn’t have (also by means of examples).

 

Answers to contests 

To respond to contests, the same rules apply for the inclusion of an idea.

In this case, the contact information will be visible only to those who launched the contest.

If the idea is not chosen by those who launched the contest, the creator can choose to make it visible to everyone by posting it as an idea.

 

 

How do I contact the creator for more information or to purchase the idea?

To request the contact details must be at least 18 years old.

Once received the contact, then you can interact directly with the creator to ask more specific information or bargain purchase.

 

How can I protect my ideas? 

If your idea can be protected legally (eg with a patent, copyright, …) before publishing it you should consult a specialist in intellectual property, so as not to risk losing their right to protection.

Otherwise the only way to protect your idea is to provide a limited number of information without being too detailed, just enough to describe it and make it palatable. More information can then be given directly to the person who will contact you. Remember not to give all the required information by phone, even when who contacts you affirms to work for well-known companies. Once the idea has been exposed, it’s already potentially stolen. Therefore, protect it for instance by signing a confidentiality agreement.

 

Why publish an idea or a contest with innovingbiz

Because ideas are important and can change people’s lives. Starting from yours. They are the foundation from which all great discoveries begin. Ideas bring new opportunities and innovation. At innovingbiz we believe everyone has great potential, and we think this is a very simple and inexpensive way to prove so.

There are no intermediaries between those offering and those looking for an idea. There is a curriculum that acts as guarantor, but it is the idea that can convince or not the buyer.

The process is also very fast, there is no dead time or fees or commission to pay.

 

Can a patent or a copyright be more useful to sell my idea? 

Patents and copyrights are intended to legally protect an idea, not to advertise or attract potential stakeholders. An idea held in a drawer does not bring anything and does not help anyone. However, if you are not comfortable with publishing an unprotected idea, it’d be wise to consult a specialist for industrial property about manner, timing and costs to defend the ownership of your work.

Publish your idea only if you are sure of what you are doing. And in any case it will be up to you to decide which information will be visible to everyone, so that no one takes advantage of your information for free.

 

When the publication of an idea is not recommended

We do not recommend the publishing of an idea if at least one of the following cases occurs:

1- if you do not agree with the terms of use or you are not satisfied with the information provided

2- if you are uncomfortable with publishing something which is not legally protected

3- if you don’t have particular goals set by publishing and purchasing the ideas.
