Let us discuss a word: Proprietary.

I'll be sure to stay tuned. I am all ears.

Thanks for the heads up.

in some ways..we're getting back around to BRINGING A PRODUCT TO MARKET, although, we've always been focused on that. We've had periods where we went full out IN on creating and marketing.

So, rather than make you search our archives where you will find a lot of discussion and some book reviews, here are some of those resources, and don't forget your local library too. Today, most belong to an inter library resource and many are now on digital or if you can stand it, even audio.

In the past, the books I've read and studied included:

Stephen Key's: ONE SIMPLE IDEA and SELL YOUR IDEAS WITH OR WITHOUT A PATENT.

Harvey Reese's: HOW TO LICENSE YOUR MILLION DOLLAR IDEA.

Richard Stim writing for NOLO: PROFIT FROM YOUR IDEA, HOW TO MAKE SMART LICENSING DEALS. The latest edition is the blue cover, 2017.

I don't want to overload anyone, maybe later (or feel free to do it yourself), search the archives for a few of these, you'll find the threads of all the info.

What is missing, and something we are trying to remedy, is a CURRENT case study, from a living person, who is actually DOING a licensing agreement, and maybe several of them. We are approaching a few of the well known folks whom we know for a fact have or are doing this TODAY.

Hopefully, when our "mystery guest" is ready to sign in here, we'll let you take off the blindfolds and ask him (or her) directly, fair enough?

Until then, do some google searches for "how to license a product" and spend some time down that rabbit hole, if you have any interest.

Here are a couple of sites to look over:

Just to get you started THINKING.

Thank you Gordon!

The resources will help save me a ton of time. Additionally, I expect my product launch will be helped greatly by this also.

I'll let you know how things progress with my new project.

It sounds interesting Millard. Re: 1961 plane incidents, at that time the CAB was still in existence, and they kept records. You have to jump through a few hoops and spend some time, but their archives are available, and the incident in Kansas City is probably somewhere with them. The FAA, is for the most part, useless in my opinion...based on what pilot Bud Riggs told me about how they investigate the dozens of plane "incidents" a day.

Bud convinced me, to be extra careful when flying in "puddle hoppers" because today, the pilots need very little actual air time to qualify.

Money talks.

In everything.

Good luck, I might be a good target for a sustainable homestead, without reverting back to my W.V. roots, over the holler and around the bend.
