Licensing or selling a patent requires a lot of time and effort. You may choose to get your idea to the prototype and provisional patent stage where you can potentially find an entrepreneur willing to partner with you. However, it is often the inventors that believe in their product and have skin in the game that attract others to do the same and have a better chance of success. You can improve your chances of success by diligently researching your market and ensuring your product is unique and would have market value. I hope that helps. Hi Mark,

I'm just the IDEA GUY interested in compensation. Any suggestion? Thanks, Mark Hello,

I found this article very helpful however this is the first place where I have read with an example of 20% royalties. Everywhere else have stated receiving royalties of 3-7% with an average of 5%.
