Innovation Direct™ Enjoys Experience at Highly Productive SHOT Show 2011

Miami, FL, January 27, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Innovation Direct™, a Miami, Florida-based leader in the intellectual property licensing field since 1997, recently attended the SHOT Show 2011, which took place January 18th-21st at the Sands Exhibition Center in Las Vegas, Nevada., as its first stop on its 2011 trade show itinerary. The event lived up to its promise as one of the most prolific editions of the show yet, with a record setting 31,769 buyers and overall attendance of 57,390, according to official figures released by the event organizers.

These numbers apparently ranked the just completed 2011 SHOT Show as the third largest ever behind the 2008 and 2010 editions. Approximately 1,600 companies were featured on the exhibit floor of the Sands Convention Center, providing Innovation Direct™'s trade show contingent with ample opportunity to establish new relationships with manufacturers and solidify previously established ones. Innovation Direct™ representatives will begin the process of following up with many of these companies as soon as possible with the goal being to enroll as many as possible in their invention and patent information delivery service for manufacturers, Innovation Direct To Industry™.

"The SHOT Show simply continues to be one of the most productive and fruitful stops on our trade show schedule each year," commented Peter Doran, Innovation Direct™'s Managing Director. "We always benefit from networking from companies in the wide variety of industries represented at the event, and plan on continuing our participation in future years."

The SHOT Show 2011 was truly a worldwide event also, as over 100 countries were represented at the show, providing Innovation Direct™ with the potential opportunity to engage in global dialogue regarding the patents and inventions that the company represents. With such a positive and successful 2011 experience, the countdown to the 2012 edition, taking place next January 17th-20th, is already underway.

Innovation Direct™ representatives will conduct follow-up efforts with manufacturers and marketers met during the SHOT Show event on behalf of the inventions and patents that it represents. In accordance with the contractual obligations it has to its client base, Innovation Direct™ will also follow up on any interest displayed by these companies in innovations that are sent to them for review, and will spearhead licensing negotiations if the need arises.

About Innovation Direct™: Miami, Florida-based Innovation Direct™ is in its 14th year as a leader in the field of new product licensing and intellectual property transfer.
