Approaching Licensees…patent application or confidentiality agreement

October 7, 2005 on 8:48 am | In Independent Inventors |

Bob Shaver, over at the Patent Pending blog has a post up today (“Confidentiality Agreement vs Patent Pending”) that discussed his opinion on whether an inventor should approach a potential licensee with a pending patent application or merely with a confidentiality (non-disclosure) agreement in hand.

I tend to agree.  Approaching a potential licensee without having started the patent process is like going to a job interview and admitting that you are so desperate for a job that you’d take any salary offer they make…don’t be surprised if they take advantage of you.
