At SEMA 2017, United Patent Research (UPR) met with a major North American tool manufacturer that specializes in pneumatic tools. We have met with this company previously. They have a very narrow market niche but have been very receptive to reviewing new ideas when presented. We had a productive meeting with the Product Manager, Chris P. UPR will be reviewing new products submitted by inventors working with our company in order to identify products which might of interest to this significant tool company.

As a follow-up from an earlier post, United Patent Research (UPR) spoke with a company representative, Tina W., and discovered that she will be bringing the Kombo-Kutt and the I.D. Collet to Australia and Taiwan for review and consideration. We hope that both of these products will pass the scrutiny test and we look forward to receiving positive feedback for a possible licensing agreement.

At AAPEX 2017, United Patent Research (UPR) met with an automotive manufacturer that is looking for vacuums, polishers, organizational tools, torque tools, and unique washing items. After meeting with the President of this company on Day 1 of the show, UPR also had a meeting on Day 2 with the Vice President. At that meeting, there were further discussions about getting additional documentation in place so that we can provide invention products for submission on a routine basis. UPR is in the process of putting together a list of relevant products as well as the appropriate legal documentation to start our relationship. We will be contacting this company in the very near future. We look forward to having a long working relationship with this company that would result in getting products licensed.

At AAPEX 2017, United Patent Research (UPR) met with the Director of Marketing of a major manufacturer that is looking for hand tools and mechanic’s tools. This was our first meeting with this company. Looking at the products that they had on display, we feel we have a handful of ideas that fit their product niche. It is fortunate that we were able to meet with the Marketing Director of this company for two days in a row. We will be submitting inventions to them for their consideration and we are hoping that we can get additional documentation in place to make the submission process smoother as our relationship develops.

At AAPEX 2017, United Patent Research (UPR) met with a major tool company that we had been meeting with for the last several years. This company has been in business developing innovative tools since 1966. An example of the type of unique products this company is looking for is their needle-nose pliers which can perform five practical tasks with only one tool. At the show UPR was pleased to have the opportunity to meet with this tool company’s Executive Vice President. We will be contacting this company in the very near future to present specialty tools that will fit their market niche perfectly.

At AAPEX 2017, United Patent Research (UPR) met with the President and the Sales and Marketing Director of a North American manufacturer that has offices in the U.S. and Canada as well as having ties to factories in China. UPR presented five hand selected products in addition to a category of products that we felt were a perfect niche for this major manufacturer. Dan S.’s (Smith) SXS Racks product stood out to the Sales and Marketing Director and we were asked to provide additional information on this innovative truck accessory. This inventor has working prototypes and has a beautiful presentation already in place for UPR to work with. We are in the process of putting the additional information together. We also will be contacting the inventor to bring him up to speed on the latest contacts with this company. We are looking forward to favorable results with this company in the very near future.

At AAPEX 2017, United Patent Research (UPR) met with a Midwest, United States company that has products made in China. Their specialty is car accessories. Several years ago, UPR was successful in getting non-disclosure agreements in place so that we can easily present products to this company while protecting the intellectual property rights of the inventors. There were three products which caught the eye of the President at this meeting. These products are:  James B.’s “Vehicle Breakdown Flag”, Belinda C.’s “Cage Pal” and Frederick R.’s “Door Protector”. UPR will be assembling information about these inventions to submit to this company. We look forward to following up with them in the very near future.

At SEMA 2017, United Patent Research (UPR) met with a North American manufacturer whose niche is specialty hand tools such as inspection mirrors, magnetic tools, spark plug tools, etc. In 2016, UPR was able to secure non-disclosure agreements to allow us to submit ideas to this company. At the show, UPR presented several products to the President which we felt were a good fit for their product line. Two products initially stood out: Dorman N.’s (Nuttall) Machinist Hammer and Matthew S.’s (Schroeder) DeHoser. We are in the process of putting information files together to send to this company, and at the same time we will be looking for other products that we feel can also fit their niche. Both inventors have prototypes and video presentations that UPR will be submitting to this company. If any interest is received, UPR will be contacting Universal Licensing, our licensing affiliate, for follow-up.
