FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions |
Q: Am I
signing my idea over to Agents For Medics
A:
No. You do
not sign over the rights to your idea. The rights to your idea will
be sold to a third party company some time in the future when you 'Sell'
the idea. Some device development companies will make you sign over
the rights to your idea, Agents For Medics is only acting as an agent,
so does not.
Q: So what
does it cost to have an agent
A:
It costs nothing
to 'have' an agent. Our agent service fees are paid only in the event
of selling your idea, and only as a % of what you earn. There are no
'signing on fees' annual subscriptions or other hidden costs. We charge
a % of the deal that we make for you.
Q: Will
I definitely sell my idea if I use your service
A:
No. There
is no guarantee that we will eventually be able to sell your idea. But,
by using Agents For Medics we will greatly enhance the chances of your
idea making it. By helping to develop the idea properly and then using
our networks, we can deliver the right product ideas to the right people
at the right time. Combined with the credibility of the Agents For Medics
team, this greatly enhances the chances of a potential buyer considering
your idea.
Q: Will
you take any idea
A:
No. Our teams
have a vast number of years in the medical field, through assessment
they will determine not only if your idea has intellectual merit, but
if it also has commercial merit. This is a complex process based upon
industry modeling techniques and intellectual property scans. Only products
which meet all of our criteria will be accepted. This ensures quality,
and a better chance of selling the idea. Experience shows, ideas with
no commercial potential will never sell.
Q: I have
a sketch, is it enough
A:
Yes. The most
basic idea, at any stage can be submitted. Agents For Medics has an
exclusive development house that can apply for patents, develop professional
drawings, prototypes and much more. All ideas will need some development
and this will cost you money. But if you believe in your idea - you
will need to invest in it - at least to protect it. For ideas that pass
through our screening process and attain a high score, Agents For Medics
will consider investing in the development of the idea through the A4M
- Funding program.
