What is an invention license?
An invention license allows someone to buy the rights to manufacture and sell your invention for a profit. Once a license is signed, the inventor receives a percentage of the total sales from the manufacturer in the form of a monthly check. The license allows you (the inventor) to make money by giving a manufacturer the right to produce and sell your product.
