Innovation Direct™ Inventor Takes Crucial First Step in Protecting the Web Invention

Miami, FL, February 01, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Innovation Direct™, a leader in the invention assistance field since 1997, recently facilitated the process of the filing of a provisional application for a patent for Pennsylvania resident and inventor Kabaso Masanzi on her new product concept, The Web, upon her request. The Web is an innovative new product designed to greatly simplify a normally cumbersome lawn and garden task. The product’s unique design enables its users to keep a lawn orderly in optimally efficient fashion.

Mr. Masanzi initially submitted information about The Web to Innovation Direct™ in September 2012 on the company’s Confidential Product Outline. Innovation Direct™ screened the invention to insure that it did not fall into a restricted category, and one of the company’s New Project Directors discussed the product further with the inventor. Shortly thereafter, a Product Management Services Agreement proposal that is intended to provide The Web with the optimal level of exposure to potential licensees through a variety of promotional and descriptive materials, including press releases, a digital rendition, an online product profile, an interactive virtual reality presentation, and participation in multiple and diverse industry-leading trade shows each year, was presented to Ms. Masanzi. Exhibits that Innovation Direct™ has attended in recent years include the SHOT Show, the International Home and Housewares Show, the National Hardware Show, Licensing International, the SEMA and AAPEX Shows and the ERA D2C Convention.

In October 2012, Ms. Masanzi opted to contract Innovation Direct™ to represent The Web to potential licensees for a 2 year period under the terms of the Product Management Services Agreement. The terms of the agreement also included Innovation Direct™ referring Ms. Masanzi to an independent patent law firm for the filing of a provisional application for a patent on The Web. The application was officially filed on November 29, 2012 and is valid for the term of one year. Prior to its expiration, Ms. Masanzi will have to decide whether or not to opt to have the independent patent law firm convert the application to a non-provisional version.

Through its diverse range of promotional and descriptive materials that help provide the products on its roster with valuable exposure, its patented proven invention licensing process, and its ability to refer its inventor clients to quality independent patent law firms for the securing of legal protection on their products, Innovation Direct™ provides the independent inventor with the most comprehensive and effective collection of invention assistance services currently available in the industry.
