Register To Attend

June Speaker - Gus Bigos, Product Scout for Evergreen IP.

Evergreen IP helps inventors commercialize their products, and recently entered into an agreement with Clorox, under which they solicit new product concepts for them, screen those concepts using their proprietary process, then present selected concepts to Clorox to make a go/no go decision under a standard licensing deal. Gus will explain what Clorox is looking for and how the standard licensing deal works.

It's been several years since Evergreen IP has spoken to Inventors Alliance and it's about time we've had them back. Gus and the other partners over at Evergreen IP have reviewed well over 8,000 ideas over the years from Inventors.

Gus will share with you what "to do" and what "not to do" when submitting your ideas to large companies. He'll also share how to better present your ideas to any company (not just Clorox). As you might guess, not every idea Evergreen IP has seen over the years has been presented well or been properly researched. Gus will give you some tips on how to make a good impression when presenting you ideas.

Attend this meeting to find out how you can pitch your ideas directly to Clorox through Evergreen IP. Also, learn how to properly present your ideas from a company that has reviewed literally thousands of ideas over the years coming from Inventors just like you.
