Product Description: TURN YOUR GREAT IDEA INTO A GREAT BIG FORTUNE...

Filled with examples of successful, well-known licensing ventures, How to License Your Million Dollar Idea, Second Edition also features an expanded appendix of sample patent forms, licensing agreements, disclosure statements, publications, contact information, and more.
Not very helpful Much of book contains common sense topics that most readers would know on their own. Other books have been much more helpful in the licensing arena than I found with this one. Writer has a great deal of references to his web site to steer readers for licensing help. However he does not mention he charges a hefty fee to conduct such reviews. Book did not contain much guidance in area of options for selling your idea as other books on that topic have offered.
Everything plus more You should read this book before you move ahead with your idea. Really helped me to understand the process, what to watch out for and to take my time and do the research before spending my money to do a patent search.
Most Helpful... I came up with an invention and had no idea how to protect it or what direction to go next. I had read several other books but Harvey's book rocked!! It gave me so much of the information I needed, I am considering submitting my idea to Harvey Reese to see if he can obtain a licensing agreement.
A Good Read Straight forward tips and tactics about how to turn an idea into royalties. Worth the read if you think you have an idea that could make money.
This will get you pumped up! This is book is an easy read, with a lot of very relevant information. I own a small product development company and the information here is accurate and maybe most importantly very motivating. Read it, and get moving on taking your product from an idea to making money.
