No, although this is a common misconception. You can still protect your idea using a non-disclosure agreement and/or a provisional patent application, both of which we provide in this package. 

In licensing your invention, you typically do not need to create a physical prototype. This lower up-front cost is just one part of what makes licensing a very attractive option for inventors. 

Legally, we're bound by a non-disclosure agreement when we work with you. But practically, our company would be done for the moment we stole anyone's idea - our reputation would be toasted instantly!

It is true that most inventors do not succeed in securing a licensing deal for their invention. We do not make any guarantees or evaluations on how "good" or likely your idea is to be adopted. If no companies want to license your invention, no worries: We can always help you transition to the manufacturing approach using the materials generated in the licensing package (in other words, they won't be wasted).
