Subscribe to Our Mailing List

Once a month, we have a meeting with a presentation about something invention related. Sometimes it's the creative part, like how someone came up with an idea. Sometimes it's the legal parts, like protection, patents, trademark, & licensing. Manufacturing comes up a lot, and so does marketing. We always enjoy our speakers, and we always learn from them. Questions are always encouraged, and our speakers share insights you can't get anywhere else. Before the meeting, you can visit with other inventors. New faces are always welcome, and if you have questions about invention or patents or marketing or ... there are usually members who can help guide you.

Learn How Edison Nation Licenses Inventor Ideas, with Aimee Carroll




Register for the Meeting

Aimee Carroll, acarroll@edisonnation.com, from Edison Nation will present the 8-stages Edison Nation uses to get inventor ideas in front of companies for licensing opportunities and other opportunities for creative minds and innovators available from Edison Nation. Aimee will discuss the process that their product review team expertly uses to evaluate each idea and design submission and how they pitch selected ideas to their partners. Also, she will mention the possible payout an innovator can receive if his/her product is licensed.

Ms. Carroll will speak on how to submit ideas to their secure online portal and the various evaluation “stages” Edison Nation’s team uses and the related factors they consider including: • Competing Products • Uniqueness • Retail Pricing • Liability and Safety • Marketability • Manufacturing Cost • Patentability • Features/Benefits and Commercial-ability. In addition, Aimee will discuss submitting just an idea, a sketch, a non-patented product or a patented product and if a patent and/or a prototype is actually needed. Aimee said, "I am excited to share the great opportunities Edison Nation offers to get ideas out of people’s heads and into the hands of a strong team for potential licensing opportunities which is not a financial risk to the inventor."

Aimee said that Edison Nation's product review process is confidential and under non-disclosure agreements with all of their licensing partners and is a no risk option for inventors who don't want to go on a licensing journey alone.

Aimee Carroll is a leading team member with Edison Nation, Inc., a contributing member of the Inventor Advisory Board, and a member of the Edison Nation Leadership Team. She founded Aspire Design & Innovations, LLC in 2014 to connect aspiring small businesses, entrepreneurs, and inventors with the people and resources needed to help them succeed. She has a Bachelors Degree in Marketing and Advertising.
