idea to revenue
At "No Costs at all to the inventor at any time, only equity in your invention exchanged for shares in TDI" - Thought Development™, Inc. will strategically partner with, fully fund, protect, develop and professionally manage only the "best new, novel and unique ideas (non obvious) inventions" brought to us at any stage in the development process. From simply drawn on a napkin, to it being revenue ready.
Unlike Invention development companies, and or venture capital firms, who prey on the everyday inventor, TDI doesn't charge the inventor anything, (on the contrary) we strategically partner with, fund, protect, develop and professionally manage your invention, for your and our mutual financial benefit.
The first (2) two things every inventor (or person with a brilliant idea) is told, "it can't be done, and if it could be done it must have already been done.
Your wasting your time and money. Wrong.
Almost everything the human mind can think of can and, or eventually over time, will be done.
Interesting, telling, Patent office story:
In the first few years that the United States patent office was instituted and opened to deal with and encourage (by awarding those inventors with a legal 17 year monopoly) for the innovative creation of new ideas, the Wright brothers invented the airplane, Fulton invented the steam engine, Ben Franklin discovered electricity, Thomas Edison invented the generation and distribution of electricity, the record player and the light bulb, Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone, Henry Ford invented the Car and the assembly line to make the cars faster and therefore more affordable, Singer invented the sewing machine, and the brilliant government minds running the patent office at that time then concluded, "that nothing more could ever possibly be invented again" so they proposed shutting down the patent office forever.
As "Absurd" as this story sounds today, with over 9 million patents having since been awarded to date, and the kinds of new inventions like the television by Henry Farnsworth, the lap top personal computer, Dos and Windows operating systems, the cell phone, the IC flash chip, the digital cameras, Air Conditioning, Google and Face Book, to just mention a few, all benefited from the patent protection system as did the rest of the world by awarding those people who make our day to day lives easier, better and safer to live. Can you imagine living life in these modern times without electricity, or the cures and vaccines to the most deadly of human deceases.
All ideas and inventions start from the human mind, and if allowed the creative freedom, and professional resources, "anything" is possible.
That is what Thought Development™ Inc. brings to the inventor with a brilliant idea. TDI was formed to make the idea-to-revenue process more effective and efficient and to provide a vehicle for inventors to bring their “Ideas to Revenue” and the investors to get a return on their investment. With the completion of the acquisitions it will own existing and new inventions, patents, and products some of which are currently licensed to Fisher-Price/Mattel, Wham-O, Big Time Toys, ToyQuest and was in the past sold in national retail stores such as Wal-Mart, Toys R Us, K-Mart and Target.
Among the newer inventions are some that are currently in development and in production stages for sales through any and all retail and on line sales outlets [many of these products have the potential for producing revenues from thousands of dollars to hundreds of millions of dollars.] -
flow of new ideas
The Company will build on this foundation by creating a continual flow of new ideas into its product development pipeline (i.e., TDI’s Business Process, for Product Development, which is engineered to simultaneously develop many products), thereby producing a wealth of newly completed products, and consequently continually increasing the Company’s value.
To help drive this “flow,” TDI has acquired the rights to an under development patent pending mobile application and web platform called “IdeaRegistra™” which will enable inventors to benefit from the“First to Invent” US Patent rule from the "Constitution, Article I, subsection 8, clause 8" & in statute 35 USC 102(g)(2). IdeaRegistra™ will allow amateur and experienced inventors alike to quickly, easily from any location Document, Search, Protect and subsequently Develop their ideas through vendors, web tools and provide a knowledge base for the inventor to create revenue, on many occasions with or through as a strategic partner of TDI. -

CBS Sports Technology News First Down Laser Line systems - for use in The NFL, NCAA Football and World Cup soccer - image is a rendering only click to view our unit on field use.
Having our first down laser line visible on the field for all the Players, Coaches, Officials and the Fans (both at home and in the stadium) - helps to make the game of football not only more exciting for the fans watching in the stadium, but it helps make it safer for the players and more accurate for the integrity of the game itself. We are not suggesting to eliminate the chains, just to augment them with our durable safe first down laser line system on the field. It will save the NFL, NCAA and the networks literally hundreds of millions of lost TV revenue dollars a year by simply implementing our Laser line system, as a constant visible on the field first down reference point.The cost of our system can be offset by the advertising dollars, and newly gained TV minutes dollars saved. EXAMPLE: The First Down Laser light line can be brought to you by a beverage Lite beer or soda company. Completely and instantly controllable on the field, and in the control booth, for instant on and off (like a light switch) by the officials at any time. Did you ever go to a football game and inevitably someone would say "were is the yellow first down line? I can't tell were the first down is." Well that yellow line is only a graphic on TV for the home viewing audience. Invented by Alan Amron, and awarded (4) four United States Patents, this amazing new laser line system will help to make the game of football, not only safer and more accurate, but more interesting to the viewing audience at home as well as in the stadium. Football is all about first downs and touch downs, yet to date, only the goal line is visible on the playing field. To make the game of football safer, more complete, and more accurate, we should be able to see the first down line as well."
"Hi I'm Pat Summerall for First Down Laser Flag systems - a Thought Development, Inc., owned company.
Football is a game of inches, and winning or losing depends on this.

how we do it
The business of the Company is suggested by its name, Thought Development™ Inc. Simply, Thought Development™ develops thoughts. That is, thoughts and dreams are the “raw materials” for a development process that results in revenue-producing products.
- Having been in the invention business for the past 40 years, Mr. Amron understands the nature of the business and the nature of inventors; he understands their shortcomings and the reasons why they are not successful, and he has developed a means of creating mutually beneficial relationships with inventors to attract them (and their product ideas) to TDI. The Company is committed to capitalizing on this know-how and capability by incorporating it into an effective, efficient process for transforming a continuing input stream of new ideas into a continuing output stream of substantial revenue.
The Company’s founder, Alan Amron, and his associates (see The Business Team section) have gone through the idea-to-revenue process time and again, and have acquired considerable know-how as well as have established relationships with businesses and individuals who provide the extensive resources necessary for the transformation.

the idea feed
In order to achieve the Company’s objectives it needs to be fed a continuous flow of new, quality ideas; that is, ideas that have a high probability of success. The sources of new ideas are many including a network of existing inventors, internally and through the promotion of IdeaRegistra™. However, the challenge is not in getting new ideas; the challenge is finding inventions with a “high probability of success. Hence, the Idea Evaluation Panel, a panel of experts selected from the Company’s Advisory Board, Board of Directors, and Management determine which products to develop and at what cost. This panel provides the acquired (but now a priori) knowledge to determine which ideas will work and which won’t. Along with the knowledge that comes from experience, the Panel has the objectivity that the inventors themselves lack. All this translates to an ability to select ideas that have a high degree of success.
-
Once a product is selected, 99 out of 100 are not, the Panel applies its collective experience and know-how to specify development needs, the costs, the timeframes, the potential markets, and revenue possibilities; and they produce an initial Product Specification which is entered into the Business Process Application System (the System), which automatically adds the new idea to the Idea Inventory and schedules the first step in the development process!

idea development
The steps in the development process are defined in the Company’s Business Process (see the Operations section). The first step is to firm up the Product Specification from the Idea Evaluation Panel and submit it to the Board of Directors for review and approval. If approved, and 99 out of 100 are not, it will then be registered in the System, which then schedules the next development step, and so on until the development process is complete (which means that the product is ready for licensing and royalties or for manufacturing and sales).
