How do you work a trade show as a professional inventor? Licensing expert Stephen Key interviews Sara Farber, professional toy and game inventor, to ask her about her advice. Sara and her husband Bryan cofounded Galactic Sneeze to venture and license their own ideas for games and toys into the market. Sara describes how publicly displaying a prototype of your inventions can result in potential ownership issues. Yes, there are opportunities for inventors who are manufacturing to display their product at trade shows like Toy Fair and ChiTAG. But that's not the same as an inventor pitching a prototype; meaning an idea that they have not brought to market yet.
If you have a toy or game idea, you can pitch it by going to these conventions and scheduling private meetings with companies behind closed doors and maybe having signed paperwork as well. Stephen asks Sara about how many ideas she brings, and she explains that while it differs for everyone, she likes to try to bring at least three new product ideas to share. She describes what she brings to show companies, her advice for dealing with intellectual property protection, how she works with inventor relations teams, the editing process, feedback, and more.
