Innovation Direct™ Co-Inventors Enter Patent Pending Stage with Their Quick Lift Invention

Miami, FL, December 08, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Innovation Direct™, a leader in the invention assistance field since 1997, recently facilitated the process of the filing of a provisional application for a patent for Texas residents and co-inventors Romeo and Mary Barrera and Eduardo and Nora Lara on their Quick Lift invention upon their request. The Quick Lift is an innovative new product that addresses a common bathroom-related concern.The invention’s unique design provides its users with an effective and convenient method of lifting a toilet seat in sanitary fashion.

The Barreras and the Laras initially submitted information about the Quick Lift to Innovation Direct™ in June 2012 on the company’s Confidential Product Outline. Innovation Direct™ screened the invention to insure that it did not fall into a restricted category, and one of the company’s New Project Directors discussed the product further with the inventor. Shortly thereafter, a Product Management Services Agreement proposal that is intended to provide the Quick Lift with the optimal level of exposure to potential licensees through a variety of promotional and descriptive materials, including press releases, a digital rendition, an online product profile, an interactive virtual reality presentation, and participation in multiple and diverse industry-leading trade shows each year, was presented to the Barreras and the Laras. Exhibits that Innovation Direct™ has attended in recent years include the SHOT Show, the International Home and Housewares Show, the National Hardware Show, Licensing International, the SEMA and AAPEX Shows and the ERA D2C Convention.

In July 2012, the four co-inventors opted to contract Innovation Direct™ to represent the Quick Lift to potential licensees for a 2 year period under the terms of the Product Management Services Agreement. The terms of the agreement also included Innovation Direct™ referring the Barreras and the Laras to an independent patent law firm for the filing of a provisional application for a patent on the Quick Lift. The application was officially filed on October 17, 2012 and is valid for the term of one year. Prior to its expiration, the co-inventors will have to decide whether or not to opt to have the independent patent law firm convert the application to a non-provisional version.

Through its diverse range of promotional and descriptive materials that help provide the products on its roster with valuable exposure, as well as its ability to refer its inventor clients to quality independent patent law firms for the securing of legal protection on their products, Innovation Direct™ provides the independent inventor with the most comprehensive and effective collection of invention assistance services currently available in the industry.
