Did you try it on yourself? :lol:

No, I’m still working on the prototype but pretty soon I’ll need dud brains to test so would you, Y-Fronts, and Yialoser be willing to participate in this? Image

Here is an idea...

How about promoting "lingri" (matsas, dkiotsas, tritsas...)

I don't expect everyone to know what "lingri" is, except true Cypriots...

How do TCs say "lingri" in Turkish?

The Americans might go crazy about it!

You are right Boomerang.
Americans will buy just about anything "new", sometimes as "stupid" as a pet rock. Do not under estimate the power of TV advertising. 10-20 million pcs sold in a month is common for $10 gadgets... the profits pile-up fast.

Put your invention hat on and let the imagination go wild... that's how new ideas are born.

How can we trust you with our ideas? What's stopping you from stealing them?

A common question. NDA (non disclosure agreement) is executed before any idea is submitted. The document is a standard Canadian/American legal form providing protection for both parties. Violation of NDA can result in millions of dollars by way of lawsuits for infringment... nobody wants that, trust me.

You can Google "invention brokers". The majority are legal professionals ready to entertain your idea. Hidden fees is what you should look for.
There are also scam or bogus "firms" waiting to steel your idea.

When the idea is found, inventors want to submit it for review/evaluation in the cheapest way possible. That's what I do. I can provide the evaluation for $200.00. Others would "build" on your idea, even if it's no good, just to make money by charging various fees. Usually, complains are filed for fees ranging $10,000.00 or more paid by the inventor with nothing to show from the broker.
