Question Hi, I have an invention that will enable online music retailers to add new services to their service line. It is very unique and will impact the whole music industry. It's patent pending, and I'm now looking to speak about it with online businesses such as Apple, Google, Yahoo and etc. I have the following questions:
1) What is the best way to approach these companies?
2) What do I need to prepare before contacting them (Documents, Video, Drawings)?
3) What is the best way to find the right people in these companies?
4) Do you know any licensing agencies that can help me?
