For those with inventive itch, here’s a list of online communities for inventors:
Incuby is an online community designed for inventors who want to get the word out about their inventions. Once you sign up, the site asks you to input information about yourself. After that, it asks for pertinent information about your invention. You can give it a title, describe it, choose a category, and let the community know if your invention is patented yet.
You can then start searching for other inventions. The site’s listings include some good information on the creations, including product photos, videos, and prices. Soon, Incuby will enable users to buy those products on the site. Incuby is designed well, and its community, while small, is quite active. It’s worth joining.
InventBay enables inventors to list their products to target investors who might want to bring those products to store shelves. InventBay itself even does some investing.
When you sign up for InventBay and list your product, the company requires a seven-day period to review your invention before it’s placed on the site. In that time, InventBay decides if it wants to invest in your creation. If it does, you’ll receive notice and work out an investment plan with the company. If not, it’s listed on the site for other investors to check out. It’s a neat idea. And since it’s free to list a product, it’s worth trying out.
InventNow is a really great idea. The site is an outlet for child inventors to show off their inventions. They can list their product, describe how it works, explain the problem it solves, and (hopefully) be seen by an investor. The site’s message board is active and a great place for kids to share their ideas. And some of the inventions I saw on this site were much better than the inventions created by adults on other sites. Definitely check it out, if you have a budding inventor in your home.
InvenTube is a place where inventors and investors can work together to make a product a success. After you sign up for the site, you need to input information about your product, including whether it is patented, what you plan to do with it, and more. You then describe the product you want to sell and place it on the site.
United States Patent and Trademark Office is a handy tool for any inventor. It is filled with how-to articles on inventing a product, checking to make sure that your creation isn’t patented by someone else, and patenting your inventions. The site also has a variety of search tools and software downloads to help inventors and attorneys determine if a product or something similar has already been patented. It’s a helpful resource for any inventor.
