Customer Reviews

Better than his other book, he is stuck in toys.

I liked this book. Has good intructions and resources generally, plus the usual fluff of forms and inventors councils. His product report is worth reading as his other books. Perhaps best from the library, but a good book to buy for reference. For a good way on what to invent, I would choose Mosley's "Marketing your invention" and for processes to avoid failure bringing ot market Robert G. Cooper's "Winning at new products" Levy has had one big winner, the game Adverteasing, but is a good author overall. His advice should be taken into account with other invention books for an overall picture.

This is a must read for aspiring inventors!

This is one of the best books on the entire patent process in the U.S. Levy, an experienced inventor himself, gives great tips on what to avoid, common pitfalls, and GREAT advice for the novice as well as experienced entrepreneurs/inventors. I'm a professional who has done patent searching for years. All the questions I get from people are all answered thoroughly by Levy's work. Great job!
