			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;No matter what your product is, you are ultimately in the education business.  Your customers need to be constantly educated about the many advantages of doing business with you.<br />
They need to be trained to use your products more effectively, and taught how to make never-ending improvement in their lives.&#8221;<br />
-Robert G Allen </p>
<p>Launching new consumer products to end user and retail markets is easier than ever with the right tools.<br />
Ever wonder why some new products become successful, while others never get off the shelf or develop into anything meaningful?<br />
Successful product launching all have a focus and another thing in common.</p>
<p>They develop momentum and then keep plotting away until their dreams become reality.<br />
In some cases new products fail.<br />
They fail for various reasons too lengthy to get into here, but most fail because they never get off the shelf.</p>
<p>Most new products take similar avenues, but the one avenue every successful product takes is that they actually introduce it.  After your product is &#8220;ready for market&#8221;, the minimum you should do is &#8220;Showcase&#8221; it on the internet.  This is the right opportunity to show it off and introduce it.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s been said, the best kept story is the one that is never told.  It&#8217;s time, show it off, and there is no better path than the internet for a showing a product off.  No matter whether you have a brand new product or service or want to dust off the one you think is a great idea.</p>
<p>New products so not have to be marketed online, but you can and should use &#8220;Showcasing&#8221; and the internet as the foundation for several strategies in your marketing arsenal.<br />
Use the internet and &#8220;Showcasing&#8221; as a resume for your new identity, as well as to show the advantages of your new product.  Illuminating new products by showcasing them on your website gives them a chance to develop and become successful.</p>
<p>Use internet business website to bring value to your new product or business:<br />
* Attach Sales brochures to inform prospects<br />
* Show illustrations and pictures bring your product to life<br />
* Show the vision for your product and company<br />
* Showlike a professional business or product to be offered for sale<br />
* Answer FAQ to move the selling process forward.</p>
<p>If you really believe in the potential of the new product or service you created, or have another one just collecting dust, t&#8217;s time to push it off the shelf.<br />
Showcasing will let you see if that idea of yours can make you money and best of all, with a minimum of upfront money.<br />
Once you learn the process you can throw some fuel on your creativity and generate and launch new products in the future.</p>
<p>For a under hundred dollars, you can find core website products that let you showcase it to make it look professional.  After you introduce it, You just might get someone to license it from you.  It won&#8217;t happen if you leave it on the back shelf.</p>
<p>Time to make the call.   It&#8217;s your product and your idea.  Showcase it and launch it on the internet.  Open a free Pay Pal account or use another ecommerce provider: you just might sell them!</p>
<p>To locate the right tools to &#8220;Showcase&#8221; your new product, search keywords on the internet:<br />
* easy product launcher, easy web automation<br />
* auto responders<br />
* domain registration<br />
* Website templates<br />

		<description><![CDATA[Is a "provisional patent" the same as a "patent"?  Actually, no. The word
"provisional" in the term means that a patent has been granted conditionally
pending the submission of a regular patent application and the patentability
of the invention.  Thus it establishes a place in time as to when the idea was
first brought to the attention of the United States Patent &#38; Trademark Office
(USPTO) and protects the owner from challenges from someone who may file for the same idea at a later time. The duration of a provisional patent is one
year and you (or someone you designate) must file for a regular patent during that time. If you don't you lose the benefit of getting a provisional patent. It also protects the inventor from theft of his idea when the details of the patentable idea are revealed for negotiation or publication purposes.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Is a &#8220;provisional patent&#8221; the same as a &#8220;patent&#8221;?  Actually, no. The word<br />
&#8220;provisional&#8221; in the term means that a patent has been granted conditionally<br />
pending the submission of a regular patent application and the patentability<br />
of the invention.  Thus it establishes a place in time as to when the idea was<br />
first brought to the attention of the United States Patent &amp; Trademark Office<br />
(USPTO) and protects the owner from challenges from someone who may file for the same idea at a later time. The duration of a provisional patent is one<br />
year and you (or someone you designate) must file for a regular patent during that time. If you don&#8217;t you lose the benefit of getting a provisional patent. It also protects the inventor from theft of his idea when the details of the patentable idea are revealed for negotiation or publication purposes.</p>
<p>If you have a great idea you want to get patented, the easiest way to get in<br />
the game is to get a provisional patent (and the protection it confers) and then negotiate with someone to produce your idea after paying you an up front fee plus a royalty of some kind.  Make sure the people you have contacted are<br />
aware that there are other bidders for your invention.  The idea here is to get a bidding war started to maximize your gain.</p>
<p>Getting a provisional patent is doable for the do-it-yourselfer.  Go to the<br />
USPTO website at www.uspto.gov and seek the forms and instructions you need. They are there but it takes a lot of time to figure things out.  If you have<br />
the time, this is the least expensive way to go.  If you don&#8217;t have the time, there are some other approaches you can take.</p>
<p>Some services on the web will ask you to fill in forms they have designed and<br />
then translate the information over to the patent application forms for you.<br />
Generally, this type of service runs to the $80-$120 range for each application.  Many lawyers advertise on the web to handle this application for<br />
you and, if you have the money, that may be advisable.  On the other hand,<br />
there are kits available, some reusable many times, that instruct you on what<br />
to do and provide the federal forms you need.  You may like that best as that<br />
is generally the least expensive option.</p>
<p>Dealing with government agencies is uncertain at best and there are no<br />
guarantees that you will succeed but using a kit that someone else has used<br />
successfully is a really good option. Search on &#8220;provisional patent kit&#8221; and<br />
read through your choices that result.</p>
