SIGN UP AND START
How To Start The Journey
The Induction (With The Captain)
Once you’ve signed up as a crew member, you’ll meet The Captain for The Induction, before starting The Inventor’s Journey™. In The Induction, The Captain will explain a little bit more about The Inventor’s Journey™, and will just check you know about important things, (such as ‘The Pirates’ of The Inventor’s Journey™, as featured in Deadly Mistake #1).
The Induction is required for all crew members. It’s always carried out on Skype. (Skype allows for free calls, video, and screen-share, and The Induction may include The Captain using screen-share, to explain some aspects of The Inventor’s Journey™ to you).
At the end of The Induction, you’ll get the chance to confirm your official crew member status, via a link emailed to you. Once that’s completed, access to step 1 of the Inventor’s Journey™, (and the elite PerfectPatent™ Search service) will have been unlocked, and The Journey can begin.
If you don’t have a Skype account, please go to www.Skype.com now, sign up for a free Skype account, and download/install Skype on a laptop or PC, or both. Note, all Skype calls you have on The Inventor’s Journey™ must be done on a laptop or PC. Smartphones and tablets (eg iPad) have limited functionality on Skype, and the screen size is often not big enough for screen-sharing to be as useful as it needs to be. Furthermore, laptops and PC fixed position cameras are far easier for showing live video footage of a prototype of your invention, if you have one. Use of smartphones or ipad/tablets for Skype will lead to your Induction being postponed, potentially meaning a delay of up to a week before you can start The Inventor’s Journey™.
Free Consultation
After The Induction, you’ll be sent a link by email, allowing you to confirm your official crew member status. Once this is done, The Inventor’s Journey™ can begin!!! A time for your Free Consultation will be scheduled with you, (often very soon after your Induction). The Free Consultation is always for step 1 of The Inventor’s Journey™ and the PerfectPatent™ Search service.
If you’ve gone to a different company, we have to start The Journey (at least in terms of the patenting) from the start, as we cannot guarantee the quality of the work done elsewhere, and it is almost never done with the precision that is carried out on The Inventor’s Journey™.
The Free Consultation is always carried out on Skype. Make sure not to use a smartphone or ipad/tablet. You must use a PC or Laptop, since screen-share and video tend to be very important in helping disclose your invention. iPad/tablets and smartphones have limited functionality on Skype, and the screen in not big enough to make full use of the screen-share function.
Download and install Skype from www.Skype.com if you don’t have it already on your PC/Laptop.
If you’re on the 10 Day Free Trial, your trial will mature after 10 days, and your first crew member monthly payment will go out. At that point, you’re an ‘unofficial’ crew member.
Once that happens (ie once your first payment goes out), you will go through the exact same process as those who sign up as crew members. (See the crew member section of this widget/webpage for what happens then, and how to start The Inventor’s Journey™).
