The presentation is designed to spark interest in your patent, not to sell it on the initial contact. It will be brief, to the point and in the form and manner manufacturers prefer to see. If an executive is interested, he or she will request more information. Many executives are not willing to invest time sifting through large amounts of information trying to decipher whether they may or may not be interested in a proposal. Long proposals will probably be set aside, indefinitely.
Manufacturers are more likely to respond to an individual than a marketing company.
Over the years some of these manufacturers have received hundreds, even thousands of submissions from marketing companies. Many of the submissions are unrelated to their business. Our clients have told us they have received responses from the same manufacturer that ignored their idea when it was previously submitted by a marketing company. Many marketing companies charge thousands of dollars to send letters to manufacturers. These letters are usually mailed out over a one or two year period to create the illusion that they are constantly working for you.
