Our philosophy
IdeaNav makes IP accessible and affordable by developing IP tools and making them freely available. Our clients choose to use us – for each service we offer, we ensure that a corresponding free comprehensive “do it yourself tool” is available. Pricing
We offer the most affordable patent and design services, guaranteed without compromising quality. We have discarded the industry-standard hourly-rate billing model and substituted it with a fixed, transparent pricing policy that inventors can budget on. Independence and objectivity
To protect our independence and objectivity, IdeaNav refuses to accept or offer referral payments – all referrals are motivated by value to the inventor instead of relationships, reciprocity and “rebates”.

"A hollow, elongated, cylindrical, self‐supporting roll open at one end, the wall of the roll being slotted."

The aim was to provide a closed end to contain melted butter or mustard and prevent dripping when eaten.

McDonald's "Congealed Mass of Egg" patent:

1. Pour "liquid egg" into rings supported on a heated grill.

2. Rapidly move the rings to and fro while maintaining contact between the rings and the grill ... until the eggs have "congealed into a mass of cooked scrambled egg".

Any takers for "a congealed mass of egg"? Clearly this patent specification never made a pass by the marketing department.

Patents are useful for marketing. This one clearly not.

(Patent: US4433001)
