Bring us your idea

Before you spend thousands, understand what should happen next.

For inventors with limited budgets, unanswered questions, and no clear way to know who to trust. We help organize the road, coordinate qualified professionals, and protect the inventor’s informed control.

A disciplined path forward

Five steps. No fog. No false promises.

We help with the work that comes before and around specialized legal, engineering, manufacturing, and commercial services.

We listen first—where the idea stands, what has been done, and what decision you need to make next.

02

Search

We investigate the accessible patent landscape and explain meaningful similarities in plain language.

Walk Into Counsel Prepared

Private client access

You are not left to figure out the next stage alone.

Inventors often reach a point where the next step requires a specialist, a manufacturer, or an experienced operator—not another general recommendation. Private clients gain access to The Advocate Network: a carefully developed group of independent professionals and product-development resources that can help move a qualified project forward.

We make introductions only when the project is ready, help prepare the handoff, and remain involved as your advocate so that each specialist understands the work already completed and the decision in front of you.

01

Protection

Registered patent attorneys and patent agents for legal strategy, claims, applications, filing, and prosecution.

02

Development

Product designers, engineers, prototype specialists, technical illustrators, and testing resources.

03

Manufacturing

Domestic and international sourcing, factory introductions, production planning, and experienced China manufacturing resources.

04

Commercialization

Licensing preparation, launch planning, packaging, branding, marketing, social media, promotion, and growth support.

Exclusive client benefitThe Advocate Network

Accepted clients may receive preferred client pricing or special consideration from participating independent providers when available. The provider, scope, availability, and terms vary by project and are confirmed before any outside work begins.

Begin with a private fit call

Network professionals are independent providers selected and retained separately by the client. Introductions, preferred access, or preferred pricing do not guarantee patent protection, prototype performance, manufacturing acceptance, licensing, investment, sales, or commercial results. Partner identities remain private until an appropriate introduction is authorized.

Private Client Welcome Collection

An exclusive collection for the inventors we represent.

Your invention deserves more than scattered notes, disconnected documents, and decisions you may struggle to reconstruct months later. Every inventor accepted as a client of The Inventor Advocate receives a private working system designed to help organize, document, protect, and advance the journey from idea to opportunity.

This collection is presented exclusively to our clients and is not available as a retail bundle.

Private Client Edition

Reserved exclusively for accepted clients

Every accepted client receives our exclusive Inventor’s Legacy Journal—a premium, professionally structured workbook created specifically for documenting an invention’s development and commercialization journey. It is presented after the engagement agreement is signed and the initial payment is completed.

This is not an ordinary notebook. It is a practical project-management and evidence-building tool that helps inventors:

  • Record the origin and evolution of an idea
  • Create a chronological history of development
  • Document prior-art observations and research findings
  • Organize product features, improvements, and design decisions
  • Capture sketches, specifications, testing notes, and prototype results
  • Document customer discovery and market feedback
  • Track conversations with manufacturers, engineers, attorneys, and potential partners
  • Record important dates, decisions, commitments, and next actions
  • Evaluate protection, licensing, manufacturing, and commercialization pathways
  • Identify unanswered questions, risks, and project priorities
  • Maintain a centralized working record throughout the engagement
  • Prepare more effectively for strategy sessions with The Inventor Advocate
The journal supports organization and recordkeeping but does not replace legal advice or independently establish intellectual-property rights.

Middle-tier and premier clients also receive

The Complete Inventor Advocate Private Client Library

Clients enrolling at the middle tier or above receive the complete Inventor Advocate series in physical, author-signed editions. The books are delivered together at onboarding, giving each inventor immediate access to the strategies, lessons, warnings, case studies, and decision-making tools most relevant to their current stage.

The complete professional library helps clients better understand:

  • How to evaluate an idea honestly before overspending
  • Common mistakes inventors make and how to avoid them
  • The fundamentals of protecting an invention
  • Product development, prototyping, and manufacturing
  • Market validation and customer discovery
  • Licensing versus launching independently
  • Commercialization planning and strategic decision-making
  • Lessons drawn from real inventor successes, failures, and turning points
Why the complete series arrives at onceInventors enter the process at different stages. Your full library is available from day one, so the guidance relevant to the decision in front of you is always within reach.

The $299 collection value reflects the premium journal, complete signed series, personalization, presentation materials, packaging, and delivery—not the books alone.

Documented Client ExperienceA clearer path—and an advocate beside her.

No patent or commercial outcome is promised. This is one client’s experience.

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.
