Update: Innovation Direct™ receives new report from West Coast-based industry partner regarding company’s interest in fitness accessory…

Hello, Juan C. Blanco, Innovation Direct™’s Director of Product Licensing, checking in with our latest update. Earlier Friday, the Innovation Direct™ representative managing the Innovation Direct To Industry™ account of our often mentioned West Coast-based industry partner provided us with a follow-up report regarding the interest that was being shown in a fitness accessory by one of the companies he does business with. We had initially reported about this situation in a January 27th posting (“International Technology Transfer inventor’s fitness accessory subject of advanced interest via West Coast-based industry partner…“).

As per the e-mail received Friday from our industry colleague, the company’s interest in the invention remains, but is somewhat lessened by the fact that there is not a physical working prototype of the item. The contact at the company informed our industry partner that it was acceptable for him to show the invention to other potential licensees, but certainly did not close the door on the project completely.

This is a situation still in flux and as such, we will continue to bring you updates here on the Innovation Direct™ Blog as appropriate. Incidentally, this same product idea is also the subject of a very strong interest from a Las Vegas-based Innovation Direct To Industry™ infomercial outfit, a fact that we last reported on in a January 26th posting (“Update: International Technology Transfer receives response from Las Vegas-based Innovation Direct To Industry™ company regarding 9 inventions reviewed; 1 item from group subject of advanced level of interest…“).
