At CES 2018, United Patent Research (UPR) met with a major U.S. manufacturer who specializes in mobile, tablet, PC, and GoPro accessories. Over the last several years, UPR has presented several invention submissions to this company. We are happy to announce the execution of a general Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA) with this company which will allow us to submit products to them on a regular basis. The direct submission process is what we are always looking for because it allows us to avoid red tape and present new inventions to manufacturers in a quick and orderly fashion thereby accelerating the review process. We are in the process of putting together an information package of new ideas for this U.S. manufacturer to review, and we look forward to getting feedback from them in the very near future.
