At CES 2018, United Patent Research (UPR) met with a major electronics manufacturer with whom we have been trying to negotiate a licensing agreement for the last several years. After meeting with their Director of Product Development and their Category Manager, UPR received signed non-disclosures agreements (NDA’s) which will allow us to provide them with continual product presentations on behalf of our clients. This manufacturer deals in a variety of categories – everything from electronic accessories, camping products, sport accessories, and bicycling, to pet items. UPR is in the process of putting an information package together since all NDA’s are in place to receive feedback on a handful of products we feel will be of great interest. We will keep you posted.

On December 11, 2017, Justin M., inventor of Shoulder It, signed a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) with a North American manufacturer to review his product that recently became fully patented. This company has expressed serious interest by signing a Non-Disclosure Agreement and has already been given access to Universal Licensing’s website to be able to download Justin’s proprietary information. Universal Licensing, the licensing affiliate of United Patent Research, becomes involved in the licensing process once a manufacturer has expressed interest in an invention and promises confidentiality by signing an NDA. The East Coast manufacturer showing initial interest in Shoulder It is involved in many government contracts and has the capabilities to give this product its every chance to become a national best seller. Universal Licensing will be following up in the very near future to explore exactly what are this East Coast company’s intentions.
