INVENTOR-NET PARTNERS WITH LOCAL SOLICITORS� FIRM
Added: (Wed Jun 27 2007)
Sheffield and South Yorkshire inventors� incubation service, Inventor-Net, continues to grow and expand its offering to inventors. It now announces that it has forged an alliance with Rotherham-based solicitors firm, Oxley & Coward, to support inventors on all legal matters.
Inventor-Net - created and supported by Atkinson & Company, in partnership with Fixed Fee IP, continues to go from strength to strength with around 30 of the region�s inventors attending the recent Inventor-Net �By Invitation� event at President Park, Sheffield.
Oxley & Coward will be represented at Inventor-Net events by associate solicitor for Oxley & Coward, Rebecca Stopford.
Ralph Atkinson, director of Atkinson & Company, said: �Rebecca has shown she has a real feel for what the Inventor-Net model is all about and we are delighted to welcome her to the Inventor-Net team. Both Rebecca and Oxley & Coward have a great deal of valuable experience in handling the legal aspects relating to inventions and business start-ups, and this partnership will add significantly to the Inventor-Net offering.
�We now have partnership arrangements in place with product designers and developers, patent attorneys, lawyers, general business advisers, and sales, marketing and PR professionals. The long-term plan is to provide everything under one roof that the inventor needs to give their idea the best possible chance of success, and to ultimately reach commercial fruition.
�We are always interested in talking to like-minded organisations with different skills and experience that can fit in to the Inventor-Net model and improve the offer to inventors still further.�
Rebecca Stopford said: �I was taken by the Inventor-Net approach, which is one of the few private sector initiatives that brings together experienced professionals offering a genuine support network to inventors. The primary motivation is to see the best ideas succeed, rather than simply earn a quick buck out of the vulnerable start-up, which is really refreshing.�
The initial assessment and participation in the first Inventor-Net consultation is free of charge. There are no hidden costs or expenses. Once an invention is approved as having market potential, the inventor is offered a one year�s consultancy service on a fixed fee basis (modules include Sales, Patent and Product Development and can be paid for in instalments). For a whole year an inventor then has full access to Inventor-Net�s professional consultancy service.
Anyone with an idea or invention is welcome to join the Inventor-Net Confidential in Sheffield. To book a place for a free consultation, call Eileen Ellis on 0870 850 0043. The next Inventor-Net Confidential events will take place in Sheffield on the following dates:
Wednesday 11 July
Wednesday 15 August
Wednesday 12 September
Wednesday 17 October
Wednesday 14 November
Wednesday 12 December
