We sincerely appreciate your interest in NatWish LLC. Your idea submission is the first step in working with us, so we invite you to take a moment to complete and submit the form on the next page. At this point, please keep your invention description somewhat general in nature, and mostly along the lines of what problem your invention solves, who would use the invention, and why these consumers will want to buy it.

Also, before you submit your invention registration, please be sure that you have done both of the following:

• Perform an exhaustive competitive product search using Google, MSN, Yahoo!, or similar search engine to discover if your invention is truly unique and novel (even if you are patented);
• If you are not patented, perform a basic preliminary patent search on the USPTO website (www.uspto.gov), or sites such as Free Patents Online (www.freepatentsonline.com) and Patent Storm(www.patentstorm.com) to ensure that your invention has not been previously-patented. Also, be sure to separately check for patents on the key individual components of your invention (even as they may be used in other industries, products and applications), as any prior patent(s) on a specific part of your invention may block your ability to patent a particular feature, should you decide to pursue a patent in the future. If you are in doubt of the patent status regarding any or all of your invention, you should consult a patent attorney or agent for a professional search and recommendation.

After completing these steps, many inventors are surprised to learn that their invention has been invented and patented before, and it may already be selling on the market. Please make sure that your invention will not raise a potential patent infringement issue, and that it is truly a new and unique idea.

We review every invention registration that we receive, and we will respond within one week or less with our initial thoughts, recommendations, and whether we believe your innovation may qualify for our licensing program.
