If this feels familiar, you are not alone
A promising idea can quickly become an expensive maze.
Most first-time inventors are not short on determination. They are short on trustworthy direction—and often receive costly recommendations before anyone explains the complete road.
“The quotes are already in the thousands.”
You deserve to understand what each expense accomplishes, what may be premature, and what can wait before you commit.
“I don’t know whom to trust.”
You need someone looking at the entire journey and helping you select qualified professionals—not simply selling the next disconnected service.
“How will my idea be handled?”
Your confidential information should be treated deliberately, shared only when authorized and necessary, and never handled like an ordinary sales lead.
How we protect your journey
Your idea is not casually passed around.
Protection begins with disciplined handling—not promises. We create a thoughtful path for discussing, documenting, and advancing your project while keeping you informed and in control.
Compare client service levels →Confidentiality comes first
We begin with general, non-confidential information. Before confidential invention details are discussed, both parties complete a Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement.
Request the NDA for secure e-signature →Disclosure remains controlled
Drawings, technical details, and supporting records are shared only when the project requires it, with appropriate authorization and qualified professionals.
Your spending follows a plan
We help determine which questions should be answered first so you can avoid purchasing services simply because someone offered to sell them.
You remain informed
We explain the purpose of each stage, the role of each specialist, and the decisions in front of you. Your idea remains your project—not a process happening around you.
The spirit of invention
Every meaningful product began as an unfinished thought.
Why The Inventor Advocate exists
A valuable idea should not become an open invitation to spend blindly.
Client StoryShe needed someone to protect the whole picture.
Real advocacy means asking hard questions, coordinating the right professionals, and staying beside the inventor throughout the journey.

When I came to Ty, I felt overwhelmed and unsure about what should happen next or who I could trust. He took the time to review my project, explain the concerns in plain language, and then speak directly with the patent attorney on my behalf.
Ty helped confirm that several claims could be pursued and made sure the attorney’s commitment was documented with a money-back guarantee. My project is now moving forward with a clear path, and I feel protected knowing Ty will remain beside me every step of the way as my advocate.
Your idea. Honest guidance. A trusted advocate.
Start with a conversation—not a commitment.
Tell us only where the project generally stands and what you need to understand next. Before confidential invention details are discussed, both parties must complete a Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement.
