Access to Capital

I was recently sent an old copy of a publication called:

A Better Mousetrap; A Guide for Inventors by Peter Bissell and Graham Barker

I would like to thank one of our avid followers for doing me the courtesy of sending this along. Well done Roc, you know who you are. It is a fantastic resource and after reading it I thought about how I could perhaps make some attempt to publish it on the site.

My very quick online research led me to the site: http://www.abettermousetrap.co.uk/ 

This is the site managed by the authors of the original publication and through it there is now a comprehensive book that they published in 1998 called The Business of Invention - a step by step guide to turning an idea into a commercial product.

Now as we field many enquiries about various ideas here at AccessToCapital I am a big believer in making available any signpost or piece of information that will help people out there commercialise their Intellectual Property. Having read the 32 page Second Edition of this publication from 1990 I can only imagine then how good the book would be. OK so its a UK publication and some of the information will be UK centric but the fundamentals are the same all over the world and if you dont pay attention to the fundamentals then you are better to pass your idea onto those that know how to commercialise products.

Remember its all about education. So whether you get this publication or use the resources on offer at many of the places we have recommended on this site then keep getting the information you need to make smarter decisions.

Best Wishes
