Most people don't know the ins and outs of innovation.

copyright? Or something else all together?
- Who can you license your idea to — so they can produce,
market and sell your innovation while you cash in?
- How to manufacture, package and market your idea if you
would rather go it on your own.
Armed with this knowledge, you have a great shot
