FACILITATING COMMERCIALIZATION OF INNOVATIVE IDEAS

摘要

A method includes receiving at a publicly advertised casting call ideas without any confidentiality obligations and without any use restriction; identifying a product embodying each idea; considering patentability and commercial feasibility of the product; selecting some of the ideas based on these considerations; acquiring all intellectual property rights in the selected ideas in exchange for predetermined consideration; bringing to market respective commercial products embodying the respective selected ideas; video recording performance of the steps; and producing a broadcast program including the video recording. A method of commercializing an idea includes contracting to deliver an idea for a product; requesting that ideas be submitted; providing a website configured to allow users to submit ideas; storing submitted ideas; communicating one of the submitted ideas; and receiving compensation.
