Could Logo Controversy Be Good For The Games? he experience and resources necessary to compete successfully in their industry. You do not.Could logo controversy be good for the Games? The saga over the new London 2012 Olympic brand continues with media attention over the controversy spreading worldwide and generating over 1 million visitors to the London 2012 website.The popularity of the new design is universally low, with the ‘scrap the logo’ petition closed after receiving nearly 50,000 votes for fear that it might damage the reputation of the games, and a CNN poll showing that 89% of people do not title the new logo. This clearly conflicts with the spirit of the Olympic games and with the brand vision of 'Everyone's Games'.To make things ev Licensing diversifies your investments. Any financial advisor will tell you the importance of having a diversified investment portfolio. Inventing is like investing in that you will own a piece of each company you license your inventions to. However, unlike investing, you don’t need a lot of money lying around to get started. By licensing to various companies across different industries you are diversifying your invention portfolio. You would not put your entire life savings into a single stock, so why would you bet the farm on a single invention idea? Licensing gives you free expert advice. Let’s say you invented a new widget for the sporting goods industry. However, after you shop it around to all of the companies in the industry they all pass.

Yes... Firstly the customer thought “Is it a brand or not” not a limited persons, almost every person go for the brand. No body want to purchase a single local item from the net or from anywhere because there are some drawbacks that comes while purchasing a local item related to quality and many other things.Not the end, today customer only trust in brand because if a customer using a brand name from a long time then he/she does not want to change the brand to a local one even he/she only 10% interested in changing Licensing—granting rights to make, use and/or sell your invention to a company; or Venturing—starting your own company to make, use and/or sell your invention. Licensing requires little time and money and is extremely risk-free, while venturing requires a huge amount of time and money and is extremely risky. (There is only one exception to this rule that will be the subject of my next book Venturing on a Budget.). When you venture your own product, you are competing with larger, more established and experienced companies for market share. When you license, you are partnering with these same companies to bring your product to market. Simply put, licensing allows you to leverage the time, money and experience of successful companies in order to reduce your risk, increase your chances of success, and create passive residual income. My last successful invention cost my licensee (the company I licensed my invention to) over $100,000 to launch. The company is a large pet product manufacturer with years of industry experience and with well-established manufacturing, marketing, distribution and sales networks already in place. They already had successful products selling in stores, online, in catalogues and on television shopping networks. Best of all, they had personnel dedicated to do all of the work required to make my product a success…and they still fail more often than they succeed. However, these companies understand that it only takes a few successful products to make up for all of the losers and they have the resources necessary to absorb those inevitable failures. Each year approximately 20,000 new products are introduced in the U.S. alone. Of these new product introductions, only about 20% are successful. Given these facts, it is extremely unlikely that you—having no experience and little time and resources—would be able to successfully introduce a new product on your own. Of course there are exceptions to this rule, but even if you did manage to introduce a successful product yourself, the risk-reward relationship still favors licensing. Here’s why: Licensing produces passive income. Licensing will provide you with both time and money because you continue to get paid for as long as your product sells, regardless of whether you continue to work or not. Not only does venturing require huge amounts of your time and money upfront, it will continue to demand your time and money on an ongoing basis. Even if you do manage to make money venturing, your time will not be your own. Furthermore, if you stop working, the whole venture will most likely come crashing down around you. Licensing produces additive income. Another attractive feature of licensing is that royalty payments from successful inventions begin to have an additive effect. Let’s say you negotiate one successful licensing agreement per year for five years. Let’s also say that the royalty payments you receive each year from each license total $20,000. Year one you make $20,000, year two you make $40,000, year three you make $60,000, and so on. Without working any harder, your income increases significantly because you continue to get paid for your past successes. Licensing reduces your risk. When you license your invention, your licensee assumes the entire risk and cost of bringing your product to market. You are betting on the company and they are betting on your invention. However, if they lose they are out tens, sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars. If you lose, you are only out maybe a few hundred dollars and a handful of hours.

Experienced leaders may indeed be better qualified to undertake specific tasks than most of the people on the team. Leaders presumably attained their positions in part by their outstanding performance and experience in similar roles. However, does that really make them the best person to do the job?“If you want it done right, do it yourself!” Does that sound familiar? Heard it at work lately? Said it yourself perhaps? Did you feel motivated hearing your boss say that? Did it build any trust between the team and the boss? Licensing reduces your risk.
