99.9% fail - 1 out of 5000 inventions have successful product launches. “[E]xperts estimate that 1 out of 5,000 inventions have gone on to successful product launches." Invention success rate. Percent of inventions that fail. (Williams-Harold, Bevolyn, “You've got it made! (developing invention ideas),” Black Enterprise, June 1, 1999)


99.9% fail. Only 2 products are launched out of every 3,000 ideas. “Out of 3,000 ideas, for instance, only about two products are ever actually launched — and only one of those succeeds, says Greg Stevens, president of WinOvations, a new product research and consulting firm in Midland, Mich.” What percent of inventions become commercially successful? (Jeannie Mandelker, Reporter Associate: Anne Ashby Gilbert, Marketing, Your Company, pp. 54+, October 1, 1997)


99.8% fail. Only 3,000 patents out of 1.5 million patents are commercially viable. “In truth, odds are stacked astronomically against inventors, and no marketing outfit can change them. ‘There are around 1.5 million patents in effect and in force in this country, and of those, maybe 3,000 are commercially viable,’ [Richard Maulsby, director of the Office of Public Affairs for the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office], says. ‘It's a very small percentage of patents that actually turn into products that make money for people. On top of all that, to get ripped off for tens of thousands of dollars adds insult to injury.” What percent of patents make money? How many patents become products? Percent of patents commercialized. Percent of patents that get approved. (Richard Maulsby, director of public affairs for the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office, quoted in Karen E. Klein, Smart Answers, “Avoiding the Inventor's Lament,” Business Week, November 10, 2005)

my billion dollar idea involves large trash bags, bulky overcoats, and multiple daily visits to all you can eat buffets.

Just wanted to brag that I have an infinite dollar idea that I won't disclose here, because my friends Martin and Gale would kill me if I did.

Think it was called facebook.

This would have been around 1982 or so I think. So more likely to be a Rubik's Cube type thing or pants that have a zipper that goes around at the top instead of belt-loops....


or maybe it was this!!

I honestly think I came up with probably one of the greatest ideas for poker in a very long time. I'm sure you guys get the picture what are my options here?

EDIT:lol i just read my post i sound like a douche but i'm seriously REALLY excited
Put me down for 10k

You think your idea is worth $1 billion? I highly doubt it. Seeing as how Stars is only valued at roughly $1.5-$2 billion. Anyway GL OP and FYI you cannot patent an idea. You can patent a process or product, not an idea. Also LOL at I can't tell anyone. I got news for ya. It isn't the idea that is important. It is the implementation of it. That is what sets apart the Gates, Jobs, Zuckerwhatevers from the dude sitting in his basement posting on message boards about their "brilliant" ideas. PM me your idea and I will look at it and let you know if you have something. Here is a NDA if you want me to sign it.

This is an example of what a process patent looks like.

If this idea is really serious, i'm sure youve realized by reading these posts you REALLY came to the wrong place. Talk to an attorney, dont try to get advice from a major collection of goofballs.

A crazy uncle of mine had a similar eureka moment back when I was a kid. I havent seen him in years as he's off running some manufacturing plant in eastern europe somewhere now making millions of profit each year.

In case hes reading this: I'm only joking when I keep saying how ur a **** and I would absolutely love it if you would come visit with your cheque book.
