Innovation Direct™ Tabbed as Licensing Liaison for Ian Sleeve Invention

South Miami, FL, November 20, 2014 --(PR.com)-- A simple yet highly useful new product designed to address a common problem for hair stylists and barbers, the Ian Sleeve, has been developed by Ian Spillman of Olathe, Kansas. The invention’s unique design helps insure that its user’s hands are protected from the heat generated by a hair clipper when in use.

The Ian Sleeve is thoroughly comfortable and unobtrusive. The product can help prevent irritation or outright burns on the hands of its users. Additionally, the Ian Sleeve is exceedingly easy to implement on any model of hair clipper. Furthermore, the Ian Sleeve eliminates the need for a barber to have to wait a certain period between customers before re-using a clipper, thereby increasing productivity and potentially, profits. Moreover, it significantly reduces the chances of a clipper being dropped and subsequently damaged from it being unexpectedly hot to the touch. The product will also be competitively priced and will be made from durable materials, adding to its appeal.

The Ian Sleeve is also in Patent Pending status within the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

Mr. Spillman now seeks a third party licensee to manufacture, market, and distribute the product for him under a royalty agreement. Potential licensees in the professional barber shop products industry are currently being targeted as candidates to eventually commercialize the Ian Sleeve on a worldwide basis.

In September 2014, Mr. Spillman contracted Miami, Florida-based product management services leader Innovation Direct™ to represent the Ian Sleeve to potential licensees for a 2 year period. Innovation Direct™ obtains the maximum amount of exposure for the products that it represents through its unique and patented licensing methodology and its participation in multiple and diverse industry-leading trade shows each year.
