Introducing the New InventionHome Blog
August 30th, 2011 by InventionHome | 6 Comments
With the InventionHome community growing larger and more experienced everyday, it became obvious that we needed a better solution to speak directly to our fellow inventors. More importantly, however, we needed a better way for you to speak to us.
The new InventionHome Blog is our attempt to deliver a higher-quality, more relevant stream of information to the inventor community. At the same time, we’re hoping that you will join in the discussion below, share your own experience and help shape the content we deliver over the weeks and months to come.
Here’s What We Have in Store for You…
The following is a small sample of content we already have in place, but this lineup is sure to grow and change based on your inventor feedback:

The number of patents is huge. The problem I see is to find a company that could be interested in the item.

@Lina – Here are two quick ways we help solve this problem:
1) With our Targeted Invention Alerts, we ensure that your invention is sent to the most relevant companies because they decide what types of products they would like to receive in the first place.
2) With our proactive approach, we deliver inventions directly to the companies’ personnel who are responsible for product discovery. So you don’t have to cross your fingers hoping your invention ends up in the right place.
