Answers to Your Inventing Questions
Thank you for all the great questions. Starting today I will be answering the most commonly asked inventing questions through my site. And to kick it off – I am starting with the # 1 question I have received to date:
Q – “Don – Will you partner/split profits/invest in, etc… with other inventors who have ideas or patents?”
A – Yes and No.
No, I am not interested in ideas for inventions. You should all know by now that coming up with ideas is the easy part. Turning them into products that people want to buy is the hard part – and that’s what every inventor needs to do. By following the simple steps in my book and watching my videos you should have a good idea how to do this. If you get stuck then just post a question by clicking on the ASK DON tab.
Now if you have a REMARKABLE PRODUCT THEN….
Yes, I am interested in helping you bring your invention to market, but only if you have the following:
- A finished pre-production prototype that is truly remarkable.
- You have done your research and are certain your invention/product does not exist in the marketplace.
- You have gotten feedback, people are crazy about it and they want to buy your product.
- And most important, I prefer inventions that can be visually demonstrated and sold on TV – infomercial, QVC.
If you have such a product or invention, please create a video of yourself demonstrating it. Then send a link of your video to my assistant, Katie at katie@inventyourselfrich.com. If I am interested in your invention, you will be notified.
Thanks again for all allowing me to help you achieve Invention Success!

Dear Don
I have created a great exercise product (you’ve heard that a million times before no doubt!).
For my machine to work, the resistance offered by the machine will be required to use adjustable resistance hydraulic cylinders, which are already patented. The rest of the machine is independent of any other patent issues. How can I move forward without infringing on the existing patented cylinders?
