Invention University, an Albuquerque based invention services company has received an award in the Education category, from the National Mail Order Association (NMOA) for being the “Made in America Hot Product”.

The home study course “So you have a great idea…Now What?” is unique in that it effectively teaches the essentials on all facets of inventing, within one full day. “The benefit of Invention University’s approach is two-fold: an educated inventor is less likely to be scammed by an unscrupulous invention submission company and an educated inventor will know exactly where to spend what money they do have to get the most out of their idea. ” according to Randy Asselin, company President.

Asselin says “Until recently inventors had to read countless books that often have conflicting and confusing messages. Many inventors have come to our one day seminars and leave feeling like they just drank from a fire hydrant because of the vast quantity of good information”. Ultimately the decision was made to put the seminar in a box so that inventors could learn at their pace. The course covers everything from initial ideas that are sketched on paper, through licensing for income.

Asselin says that the trend in the retail marketplace has large retailers such as Wal-Mart and Target, making manufacturers justify shelf space by offering a wider array of products. “We have found that more and more manufacturers have systems in place to evaluate and develop new ideas that are brought to them from outside sources such as a savvy inventor or a company like Invention University-Licensing is a multi-billion dollar industry that is still growing”.

The course is taught by successful inventor and founder of Invention University, Lisa Lloyd. Lloyd presents the information in a simplistic yet substantive way that appeals to a very broad audience. The course consists of a workbook, four audio CDs, helpful documents, and everyone that purchases the course gets a 30 minute consulting session with Invention University.
