Irish Amateur Inventor Giving Away His Patentable Ideas in New Book to Boost Employment
At Home Inventor decides to publish all of his ideas for products and services without any patent protection, in a uniquely risky bid to boost employment in his home country.
Cork, Ireland, May 26, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Fly Flaps & Other Inventions, (ISBN 978-1477488195) is a self published book by Bill O’Riordan that includes descriptions and explanations for some 200 ideas, concepts and patentable inventions he has had over the years, and he believes that some of them could be viable opportunities for anyone who reads the book. None of the ideas have any patent protection, and he’s publishing them now because he believes someone will be inspired by them and use them.
He is giving them away in the hope that someone, somewhere might be able to take them further than he can, and bring one or two of them to market. Ultimately it’s hoped that some of the ideas in the book could boost employment rates in Ireland or indeed anywhere in the world.
The book is loosely based on notes he’s made over the years as the ideas occurred to him. The reason he’s publishing them now is simply to bring them out from his “shed” and set them free; “to see what happens,” he says.
Bill O’Riordan, originally from Millstreet in Co. Cork, Ireland says; “I’ve probably spent way too much time in my 'man-shed' trying to develop these products or ideas, without ever completing a patentable prototype, or a design plan. By writing them down it meant I would never lose them, and I’m always saying I could get back to this one or that one at some stage.
“Originally it was my wife who suggested I should try to put these ideas together in a more user friendly way, hoping I suppose that by writing them down properly I’d be less likely to blow myself up.
“The book is dedicated to her, as her patience is a testament to the woman herself for putting up with me, stomping around with some new idea, and nearly killing myself a few times,” he says.
There are no Intellectual Property claims on any of the concepts, apart from the copyright of the book itself, so anyone is welcome to take and adapt the ideas as they see fit. Some of the ideas, or variations of them may even have been invented before, in some form or other, but as Bill himself says; “Ideas are always free until someone spends a lot of money trying to claim them.”
Bill adds that Fly Flaps & Other Inventions (ISBN 978-1477488195) is like a set of “elevator pitches” he would give if he owned his own Venture Capital fund, and if he ever does get his hands on such a fund he will certainly invent something. He may even have kept one or two of these ideas up his sleeve for later?
Incidentally; A Fly Flap is a window escape hatch designed specifically for trapped flies.
Fly Flaps & Other Inventions is printed and distributed by CreateSpace, as a self published title and is due out in 2012.
