AboutMarty McCrea Expertise I can answer questions about honing your idea and helping it to become more real in your mind, your research, and within your speaking. My expertise is in answering the large questions that you have into more manageable pieces. I can also assist you in finding the source of the data that you can use to prove and pitch your idea if that's the path that you're on.
Experience In my opinion, the current way to invent is inherently flawed. Regular people like us normally get “eaten up” by the proverbial sharks in the water. (corporations, invention submission companies, lawyers, etc)
We can not stand for this any longer; you feel this too, yes?
Experience:
I have helped people think and re-think their ideas for years. As a byproduct of talking with hundreds of inventors, there is a new and very revolutionary way to invent that will be available to the world in 2009.
Nobel Prize Winner Albert von Szent-Gyorgyi once said that "Discovery consists of seeing what everybody else has seen, and thinking what no one has thought." I agree with this truth with all of my heart.
Now let's talk about your question, your passion, and how I can help your idea gain momentum if it is ready.
Question QUESTION: I have a new shoe design that I have been working on for the past couple of months. I have done my own market research and have found that it is 100% well received by the woman interviewed. I have searched online for various places to contact and it seems they are all in China. Any recommendations how I best locate a reputable shoe manufacturer that can provide all of the different materials that will be needed to manufacture?
ANSWER: Hi Shelley;
Great to hear that you are ready to look at manufacturers. I would recommend finding a manufacturing liaison to assist you in finding the right fit and pricing structures. I would recommend a good friend of mine named Alan. You can reach him at www.arkk.com Tell him Marty sent you.
Also, here is a link to the archives to allexperts. So far 69 people have asked questions about inventing a new shoe design. I'm sure you can pick up a few pearls of wisdom by reading through the past answers.
QUESTION: Can your friend Alan guide me into ensuring my shoe design is protected with a patent pending that will cross over in to the chinese market as they more than likely would be the country of manufacturing?
Answer Hi
Yes, he can somewhat guide you in the process. He is not a patent attorney, and his patent advice is just that...advice. When it comes to anything dealing with manufacturing, he is your man. He can help you and answer anything. When it comes to patents, you will want to find a good patent attorney to discuss international intellectual property rights with.
