Who WE ARE NOT

1. WE ARE NOT an “Invention Submission” company.
2. WE ARE NOT in the business of talking you into signing a contract and coughing up $10-40K for nothing.
3. WE DO NOT call or send out brochures in the mail to all patent holders professing our desire to license their patents or market their products.

NEWS FLASH to INVENTORS

1. These “Invention Submission” or “Product Marketing” companies are in the business of selling their “services”, which are minimal at best and rarely bear fruit.
2. Maybe you’ll get a nice 4 page website with some cool link to a photo gallery, a color brochure, a copy of your patent and some contact information for manufacturers. If you’re lucky, you’ll get a nice computer animated depiction of your product idea.
3. These companies will tell you that they have manufacturers waiting to review your product idea or prototype when in reality they pay the manufacturers to use their names and they rarely give ANY valuable review of your product.
4. You may be referred to one of these “marketing” or “licensing” companies by a manufacturer that YOU approach. Some manufacturers receive a kick back from this.
5. Be very mindful of the credentials of anybody you deal with.
6. We tell you this from personal experience and the hundreds of invention submission horror stories that we’ve heard.

With Graham Custom Truck Accessories, LLC, you get

1. An itemized list of actions performed and expenses incurred on a weekly basis with product development progress reports available live on a daily basis.
2. Prior to project launch, you will receive and agree upon a proposed schedule of events that will include milestones and up to date projections for timelines of sub-projects and for the execution, strategy and completion of your project.
3. We are strategically located in Roseville and Santa Barbara, California, with easy access to San Diego/Mexico and Los Angeles.
4. Our manufacturing contacts and partners for production in Mexico, overseas and the U.S. are second to none and are all located within Southern California or Baja.

Are you an inventor with a great new concept or product idea for the auto aftermarket?

If so, please remember the following:

1. Contact us before you contact any “product marketing”, “invention submission” company or “licensing agent” to discuss how we may be able to assist you in your dream.
2. Many companies claim to be able to submit your product to large manufacturing, marketing & distribution organizations and to potentially secure licensing contracts if you pay them $20K up front.
3. Remember that most potential licensees don’t typically license just patents, they license patents with accompanying products, in a box, ready to ship with sales behind them.
4. If a company wants to help you develop your product without putting inventory or a physical sample in your hands, forget it.
5. Graham Custom Truck Accessories, LLC will develop & put your product in a box, ready to ship.
6. Graham Custom Truck Accessories, LLC will market and optimize your product on the internet for FREE!!
7. If you think you can license your patent without selling the product yourself first, you better think twice.
8. Many so called “invention submission” or “product marketing” companies will try to convince you that your product is perfect for a certain niche, when in reality, all they want is your cold hard earned cash.
9. Chances are these companies know little or nothing about the industry to which your product idea applies.
10. Graham Custom Truck Accessories, LLC specializes in automotive aftermarket accessory product development and sales.
