United Patent Research

A platinum member & sponsor of the United Inventors Association, United Patent Research, LTD, has helped individuals turn their imaginative ideas into successful products since 2007. Founded by ivention development expert Patrick Ralston, UPR stands as one of the leading product development companies for inventors. Individuals who think they might have a great product idea can submit their invention online or in hard copy and remain fully assured of the total confidentiality of their communication.

The experts at United Patent Research, who include a nuclear physicist and a biochemist, evaluate idea submissions and judge whether they possess strong market viability. If UPR accepts a product idea, the company’s dedicated research team works to help clients prepare to present their product ideas to manufacturers. UPR’s research teams endeavor to answer questions such as, How will this product compete with similar, extant products on the market? and, What materials should be used to build the product most effectively? United Patent Research also assists clients with questions concerning product design, packaging, and licensing.

United Patent Research also provides clients with legal assistance by referring them to registered patent attorneys who can oversee the entire patent process and address any legal complications or impediments that might arise. Once an idea has been researched and patented, UPR works to promote the invention at national and international exhibitions and trade shows.

When a manufacturer expresses firm interest in a client’s product, United Patent Research refers the client to the company’s affiliate Universal Licensing, LLC. Universal Licensing steers UPR clients through the complex negotiations with manufacturers regarding royalties and product distribution.
