What Ric has done for others
Some of the things Ric has done for others is:

  • Done patent drawings, written the text of a provisional patent
  • Explained how to simplify existing patent applications that have not been submitted
  • Organised his team to file provisional patents for sponsored inventors for $200 plus workers time.
  • Spoken to investors and partners on behalf of inventors with special inventions.
  • Acted as a reference to inventors existing investors to help them understand the value of the inventors patent.
  • Supported inventors and acted as a reference for inventors who have applied for a goverment grant or loan.

Things Ric will and won't do

  • Ric will usually not travel to see inventors unless it is convenient to meet them during one of his other trips.
  • He likes to avoid signing non disclosures unless the invention is a major significance. He does not want to have hundreds of legal obligations out there, it just makes his life complicated. If you have concerns about this, please have a look at the Australian Story video to work out what kind of person he is and make your own decision about whether you can trust him. He assumes anyone talking about their invention would want to keep the details confidential. It enables him to help more people too.
  • Ric does not invest in other peoples inventions. He has not retired yet and does not want to have a career as a philanthropist, so please don't ask him to invest or to assist you in finding investors.
  • In some cases however, Ric has agreed to help inventors obtain grant or govt loans and this may involve working with the inventors existing or in some cases new investors.
