Marc, thanks for always coming back. Thanks, Steve.
Thank you Timothy!
My pleasure Timothy. I enjoy it.
Thank you very much for being a subscriber of our channel!
I really love Marc Portney way of dealing and talking. I can't stand fake BS! I totally agree and will be sending him some ideas.
Fantastic!
Let’s go!!!!
This was great! I was contemplating on sending him another idea. This gave me confirmation. Love his honesty!!!
Thank you for watching!
Good luck
Looking forward to it
Thanx inventright for inviting Marc.
I have watched his talks with Stephen multiple times and nearly every time I discovered a new wisdom.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks Mohammad
@@marcportney7660 @Stephen Key
always a pleasure :-)
@@marcportney7660 i have submitted an idea and i didnt even get a yes or no. please let me know if at least you guys read it. my name is Ahmed Ahmed and my idea product was about garbage cans.
For anyone on the fence, I've submitted 4 ideas to Marc and his partner Brian. I have a ton of respect for them and plan on sending them more once I have prototypes. My experience has been excellent, respectful, prompt, and pertinent responses.
Question, are you the one applying for the provisional patent? Or is Mark applying for it?. Thank you.
@@daviddimise6486 In 2 cases I got the provisional patents, the rest i basically showed him proof of concept.
Sorry for another question, what does he need for proof of conception?
Wow Stephen Marc is brilliant, no BS straight to the point. And you yourself Steven when you throw them role play questions to him is pure gold. They are the exact things we are going to ask/cock up when asking
Marc is a lot of fun!
Stephen thank you! Another home run. I submitted our patented Senior Safety Grab Handle to Marc.
Wonderful but I don’t think it’s the right fit.
Keep me posted Reggie!
I like honesty...... Mock you’re the man....
This guy is the freaking best! I've been watching invent right videos for a while now, and this was just a freaking awesome surprise. I'd love to talk to Marc one day.
Great videos! I have been watching a lot of them. Trying to get a question answered. Question is does Mark want a provisional patent application done by the inventor? Or him? When submitting an idea.
I have learned a lot from you guys I can't thank you enough Mr key ,mt kruass and Mr portney
That’s wonderful. Please subscribe if you haven’t already.!
@@inventRight Hello thank you for your response I'm going for my PPA this weekend is there any teaching you can give a learning pupil from afar
2 questions:
1. Do I need to have a manufacturing quote for Marc to consider my idea?
2. Is a virtual prototype ok, if the product can be made with off the shelf parts and standard tooling?
Thanks a ton for all the info!
I would reach out and ask Marc.
@@inventRight Ok, don't have to tell me twice! Thank you InventRight, your team have been amazing allies!
Wonderful!
Love these videos. Marc's straight talking is hilarious . I have a question for Marc - is it considered to be public disclosure by getting you to look at an idea without an nda?
That’s a gray area. That’s a good question for someone in the legal profession. Have an NDA signed if you’re worried about it.
@@stephenkey3137 thanks Stephen
What a great video. First time with Marc Portney.
Is Marc taking submissions now? Nov 2022?
Thank you Stephen for your channel and great videos.
Steller good interview as always Stephen. Thanks to Marc for being "REAL". Tip, making sure your product has a mass market that is big enough so that money can be made by you and your investor, glad you covered that! Having a unique item that is not a one trick is not a bad thing, just make sure it does everything well.
Thank you for commenting and watching!
Stephen is great at his craft. He really knows how to get me going.
@@marcportney7660 Do you do only investments or do you also do licensing? I have an idea i want to licence.
I just suddenly started to laugh so hard when I saw the Hurt Skirt, ..because for decades...when I had a sprained ankle or a bad elbow pain; I would take a stretchy sock....or 2 ...cut the toe part of it/them, and slide that over the affected area, and it did the trick in alleviate the pain..... Now, I am almost in tears at the thought that I could have been the guy that came up with that product idea. ...Oh well ...nowadays; I make a conscious effort to think out of the box , and I got a few items that would make life easier for some people in the construction trade....Still in the prototype state....but it has great potential. Time will tell
"of course shit stain!" LOL
😂😂😂Mr. Stephen stop tryna hold back your laugh...Mr. Marc is Freaking Funny as hell...I Love watching your videos and I'm totally Fine with you or Mr. Marc telling me
If my idea is a Hero or Zero
Love your honesty Mr. Portney. I hope to work with you in the future. 😉
Love Marks straight shooting..
So do I! Thanks for watching!
No other way to be!!
Just came across this video.. appreciate the directness lol. Marc still accepting product ideas ??
Just reached out to Marc through his website, I'm waiting for his response. I've got something that fits everything he has mentioned here, I would love to work with him, life's too short for bullshit. Cheers for another great video Stephen Key.
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Looking forward to it.
I love it! Just read up the terms and conditions for submitting a proposal to Marc and honestly was put off by the lack of protection for the inventor and the IP... I would love to show Marc my product (or anyone else who can help bring it to market) but how do I protect it if he won't sign a basic NDA? Any advice/help appreciated🙏💙💙💙 *i love the inventrightTV thanks so much!!!
That has me a bit concerned, as well. I just realized today that pitching the invention with only a PPA is a public disclosure, which could come back to bite you, if the licensing deal falls through, or takes longer than a year to negotiate. In some countries outside the PCT, pitch meetings with a PPA are considered prior art, and make the idea ineligible for patent protection.
@@CognitiveDissident. I don't get your saying that pitch meetings with a PPA are considered prior art. If your PPA application is filed before the meeting, why does it matter that the meeting becomes prior art? It's just like you file your PPA before you start mass selling, why would you care that your mass selling becomes prior art?
@@ericteng3053 Public disclosure could effect your ability to get a patent outside the US, whether you have a PPA in the US or not, but I think I was partly misinformed at the time I wrote this, from having heard a lot of different things from different people wanting to sell their services. I think the US PPA covers you for the PCT, but public disclosure also means you have to file for 2 Patents after 12 months to protect the idea in most of the world.
@@CognitiveDissident. If you have a public disclosure, just make sure you fill for a patent, whether US or international, within one year and you'd be okay anyway. For the US, you should file it within one year of your PPA filing that means doing it before the one year anniversary of your "public disclosure". For international filing, I believe you PPA filing will be the prior art of somebody else but not yours. So still, you'll never be hurt by your "public disclosure" after you have filed for the PPA in the US.
@@CognitiveDissident. Also, with or without public disclosure, you still have to file for multiple patents if you want protection in outside of the US. So again, whether that counts as a "public disclosure" is moot.
Love this guy.
Thanks Anthony. Much appreciated!!
You are not alone! Thanks for watching!
Been listening to Marc for a while and love the directness. How do I submit my prototype to you Marc?
There back ! 💎 💎 💎 ‘s
Hello gentlemen! Hi audience members! Following the theme, Ill cut to the point as i have a 2 part question: can a submission be made without a ppa? And can a submission be made with a video/image combination or is best to pick 1 of the 2? Thank you!
Thanks mark love the honesty, tell it like it is sensei!cheers
Mark great videos I like watching you do I need a ppa before i can hear from you thanks maybe exsplain the process for a new inventor I'm new to the game
Great to see !
Shit Stain!!! LOL, I'm dyin' over here!!
hahaha
Marc doesn’t hold back does he?
I’m passionate about what we talk about. Lol
I guess people don't understand.
Marc is right that's it period.
Mark Portney is a great resource. But first have to call inventor rights and take their course. Which is just great resources for new inventors😊👍
Great video like always, thank you guys. Quick question, Is licensing (in certain cases) is selling an idea that may improve a company's product or its just pourcentage under a contract through the sales? thank you
I’m not quite sure of your question.
Your licensing your product idea to a company in exchange for receiving royalties on each and every product they sell. They do everything!
@@stephenkey3137 Thank you for your answer, sorry about the confusion. So you have to reach out to compagnies who make products similar to your idea. Thanks again
Yes!
inventRight cofounder Andrew Krauss is going live at 4pm Pacific this afternoon right here on TH-cam for an hour for Q&A. th-cam.com/video/6iTy8HuyBVQ/w-d-xo.html
That's a great time to get your question answered thoroughly. Thank you for being a subscriber!
So is he only for individuals that are already selling their products but need help or for people that are solely looking for licensing deals?
No he’s looking for everything. Prototype
concept, you name it. Basically good ideas!
“Of course, shit stain!…”. OMG this guy! 🤣😂🤣😂
Does Marc accept ideas from outside the U.S.?
Yes I do
@@marcportney7660 Wow that’s awesome. Thanks!
How do I get ahold of this man? I have tons of ideas in my sketch books that I believe are useful.
His contact information is above. Click on the title.
Quality content as always. Don't get it why these videos get so few likes. 47k subscribers to the channel and below 100 likes and comments. Quite sad ppl don't appreciate good work!
Thank you for noticing. I think these videos are important. Please share them with others!
@@stephenkey3137 definitely will!
Thanks Primus
Hi Marc. If you do NOT consider someone's idea; Can you provide a short list of potential interested parties, without jeopardizing your interests? Thanks
Thank you. A question, I know Stephen you say not to just send your sell sheet but for busy people like Marc wouldn’t that be preferable? If it’s a great idea seems like that’s the best way to impress. I’m an advertising creative director and all I want anyone to send me is ideas or portfolios not their opinion on what they can do for me of my clients. Show me the goods, the proof! For me it makes them seem a little novice and “salesey” if they don’t . Maybe I’m totally wrong!
Absolutely send your sell sheet!
@@stephenkey3137 Thanks! If you have the time, just one more question: in your book I thought you advised getting permission before you send the sell sheet. Maybe I had that wrong, and that advice was really about just finding the right person to send it to so you’re not peppering all the wrong people.
Hi Jonathan, good question. Please send sell sheet. Tell me what is the problem then what is the solution?
That makes it easier for me to assess the item.
@@marcportney7660 Thanks Marc!
Hello again I'm not giving up,but it's hard trying to keep my sanity but I will reach out were can I send a short video
Stephen@inventright.com
Q ?... What if I don't have it patient or precision patient right now... But I want to show you my idea 💡 but with a confidentiality agreement.. between us... Will that be in writing ✍🏾 first
I have an invention for major automotive manufacturers such as Mercedes Benz, BMW, VW, Rover, Toyota, Chrysler..... Who should hire to help me with this?
That is going to be difficult.
Awesomeness!
Glad you’re back,thanks for watching!
@@stephenkey3137 I never left, just trying to make a lemon orchard out of these lemons I keep finding. But with mental burdens weighing me down, I can't seem to even sow a seed. Thank you Stephen for recognizing my absence. I hope to reply back to your email with a success story this time.
That would be awesome!
Hey Marc,do you have your hooks into the big chocolate companies like hershey, Mars etc , I have a mass consumable for you if you do. thanks
Hi Helaman, is it protectable?
Where do we send the NDA to Marc Porney
What what is mass? The entire country's population or have to country?
Marc/Stephen, What’s your opinion on crowd funding?
Good idea for a video.
Where do I send Marc my sell sheet...his email?
Ty sirs💪
so how much doess it cost if marc likes the idea? anyone know? and whats an nds
No cost
How much is Marcs cut?
I think that all depends. You should reach out to Marc.
Every deal is different
l have two inventions that invent companies was trying to get but I want someone like Marc who can really help get my inventions in the marketplace
299 no's? So...you're saying there's a chance!
Of course. But in every situation it’s always a numbers game.
There is always a chance!! Keep on plugging.
I'm trying to reach out to you Marc. Nobody not him not you will say where to submit my new product ,. Where
Look in the description bar.
I've got something that's neither consumable nor mass, and I can think of only two (literally two-2) potential customers for it... but I think it's a million $$$ idea!
This is actually the spot I'm in. Funny ole' world :)
Sounds intriguing
@@marcportney7660 Bright side is it will take you about 10sec to understand it completely. So even if it's a No, it's not a time taker. I just have to submit a PPA, then shoot a video of the working prototype I made for my own use.
Let’s gooooo!!!
@@marcportney7660 I submitted an idea to your online portal and found it very useful. I emailed a Mr Scanlon. I hope to build a relationship with your company. Unfortunately I was informed you don't deal with firearm accessories. Thanks for being here for the inventor.
My God how this guy is sour! It looks like a barrel of Swisse lemonade! Guess what? I'm a barrel of "cachaça"! Hey Stephen, if you go with me, we can make the best "caipirinha" that someone has tasted. Just because you are the sweetest man in the world! Hahaha
Is a specific type of ideas that you accept or don’t’ mark? I wanna spare you and me the time.
I started off laughing because you guys are hilarious, but...people need to put themselves in Marc's shoes. I could lose my kindness real quick if people started attacking me.
I get italian mobster vibe from Marc
@Marc Portney Would you consider a product that has similar features to something you’re already involved in, but the main feature is different?
Hi Son, I would certainly take a look.
@@marcportney7660 hey Mark, I'm patent pending on a hand tool that is the first tool for this job that there has never been a tool for before, its great, it saves $-,time,labor, material, and injury, it's so easy and cheap to make and the market has no rival tool to compete!!I'm trying to get it licensed now through a ILC.
Can I submit my healthcare invention?? You think he'll buy it?? Help me set up a meeting, please. I'm struggling and want to save lives including my own...please lend a hand I'm dissabled.
My goal is to submit a product idea to Marc that gets his attention. I want Brian Scanlon to reply back with interest instead of a reason to pass, I do appreciate your time to view my ideas, thanks!
Send me an awesome business opportunity. That gets my attention I am looking forward to it!!
So EVERYONE sends their submission and you don't EVEN offer the
"professional courtesy" of a CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT!!!??????? wait
...what???
Hello Gilbert,
Most companies will not sign an NDA.
The best protection is the history of how a company treats inventors. I would also file a Provisional Patent Application. NDA‘s are not a great protection vehicle. Most inventors are a little confused on their purpose.
Thank you for watching and commenting.
🥰🤣👍
What products are you into Marc?
Has any one here done business with Marc
Don't be trying to bust this guys balls. There made of steel.
I have a identified a problem, created a solution, no one else has done it, have the name, slogan and adverising plan. Now what!! My biggest fear is my idea been stollen.
At least 50% of the population will want a nd need it
Should i get a ppa before submitting him my idea?
That’s your decision.
Tonya you should tried to contact marc he will reply he will let you know if he is interested or not he is in honest so far I had a good experience even if he was not interested in my item he reply all this is normal remember when a company starts dancing or asking you for money run away believed me I had a bad experience with someone else
@@reyvajhernandez9468 thank you so much i appreciate that!!
