OM DENNE EPISODE
How do you turn a product idea into a licensed product that actually reaches the marketplace?
Robert Trevino did it with *ByeKnot,* a fishing accessory he developed, patented, and ultimately licensed to a company. Today, ByeKnot is selling online, including on Amazon.
Robert is a former *inventRight member* who learned how to bring his ideas to market through licensing with inventRight. In this interview with Stephen Key, he shares how that education helped him move from developing product ideas to ultimately securing a licensing deal for ByeKnot.
You'll learn about *product licensing, patenting an invention, licensing vs. manufacturing a product yourself, marketing a licensed product, and what it takes to keep moving forward when you're developing a new product.*
If you have a product idea and are deciding whether to *license your product or manufacture and sell it yourself,* Robert's story offers a real-world look at the licensing path — including the education, persistence, relationships, and mindset that helped him bring ByeKnot to market.
