Bob DeMatteis
President, IPT Co.
Founder of Patents in Commerce
Eighteen years ago, Bob DeMatteis had an idea he wanted to pursue. He pursued that idea, patented it, and today has over 20 U.S. patents and several pending. All of Bob's patents have been commercialized or licensed. Compare his track record to what is reported by the U.S. Patent Office‹that only 3 percent of patents ever earn money for the inventor! Sales of Bob's inventions exceed $1 billion and are used by national giants such as Sears, McDonald's,Walgreens, Kroger, and Subway.You have used some of Bob's innovations at one time or another when you use a plastic grocery sack or carry merchandise in one of the store's printed plastic bags.
Bob is one of the original developers of the plastic grocery sack and is recognized as an innovative leader in the packaging industry. His inventions and patents do not focus on engineering or scientific advances but on making products people friendly. Bob's newest creations include the M2K plastic square-bottom bag, replacing paper bags in fast-food restaurants, and a new plastic valve bag, the Dry-sak, that is receiving worldwide attention as a replacement for paper cement bags and bulk food bags.
After years of experience as an inventor, Bob had another dream, that is, teaching others how they too can realize their dreams. Bob enjoys teaching just as much as patenting and inventing. From this dream, Bob developed a workshop series, From Patent to Profit. These exciting workshops help inventors, innovators, entrepreneurs, businesses, and corporations learn how to patent their ideas and make money on them. His friendly, enthusiastic manner of training gets only rave reviews from participants.
Bob is also the author of the bestseller book, From Patent to Profit. This book is based on his years of experience plus dozens of other highly successful inventors. It is the textbook of the Patents in Commerce Series. He is also the author of Essentials of Patents, the Scientific Journal and the Patents in Commerce workbooks.
Today Bob is an internationally known inventor, author, in-demand speaker, and a certified seminar leader of the American Seminar Leaders Association.
He is a member of the Intellectual Property Owners Association, the Licensing Executives Society International. Bob is also a speaker on inventing and innovating at numerous colleges and universities plus the Small Business Development Centers (SBDC) and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and their many depository libraries. |
