IW Featured in Stephen Key’s InventRight Newsletter
A Simple Idea Can Be Worth Millions!
It’s true, a simple idea can be worth millions. Successful inventor and licensing expert Stephen Key has made millions of dollars licensing simple ideas. One of Stephen’s most successful inventions is the Spinformation® Rotating Label. This label has appeared on products such as Rexall Sundown Herbals, Jim Beam DeKuyper Pucker, Nescafe Coffee & Lawry’s Spices to name just a few. However even though Stephen has sold well over 400 million labels he has only scratched the surface of the potential of this product.
The Spinformation® label will soon be featured on a new childrens medication product called Accudial. Accudial uses the Spinformation® label to show parents how to properly dose their children based on weight instead of the traditional dosing method based on age. This will help prevent the over 27,000 overdosed and underdosed children in the United States each year.
Accudial will be appearing online soon at Amazon.com, Drugstore.com, Target.com and Accuratedose.com and will soon be on the shelves of 9000 drug stores in the U.S. & Canada. Watch for it in a store near you.

Sharktank Casting Call
SHARKTANK TV Show on ABC
The “Shark Tank” TV show on ABC Friday evenings is an interesting and entertaining reality show about entrepreneurs and inventors pitching and selling their innovative ideas to wealthy investors (the sharks) and trying to convince them to invest their money. It is interesting to watch the negotiations between the entrepreneurs and investors. Their casting department is looking for participants. Read the agreement carefully, it is a non-confidential disclosure, so if you have a product, it is best to have a patent pending situation.

Article:
I. INTRODUCTION
Far too much otherwise usable university research fails to find its way to advanced stages of research, commercial products, or other uses.1 Given the fundamental nature of much university research, a certain amount of this research will appropriately reach its potential with publication and classroom instruction, but a substantial volume of these innovations instead deserves life in products, services, research
tools and methodologies, and other uses. Unfortunately, exploitation of university innovations does not seem to be what it could be and is significantly below its potential for evolving to later stages of research, advancing human welfare, and spurring economic growth. Of course, there are success stories that should be celebrated, but when measured against potential and opportunity, much more must be expected from and more must be done by industry, government, universities, and their respective leaders. Congress has declared and reiterated that our country’s federal policy shall be to support and pursue the usefulness of the fruits of research conducted using federal money, including
through increased collaboration between and among industry, universities, and government.2 (read full article [PDF])
