Toy Inventor Collaboration Program

Get Your Toy Ideas in Front of Established Brands - Safely

A structured way for toy inventors to work with established brands through royalty-based collaboration — without dealing directly with factories.

No files / CAD at this stage — we move to NDA/MNDA before any detailed disclosure.

This program connects inventors with toy brands looking for original concepts and supports collaborative development from concept to production. You start with a non-confidential teaser. If there’s a fit, we move forward under NDA/MNDA before requesting any detailed disclosure.

Clarification

This is not character or franchise licensing (Disney, Marvel, etc.). It is inventor idea → brand commercialisation → inventor royalties.

Working with toy brands when you have an idea

Brands have distribution and retail access. What they often lack is original inventor-driven ideas that can be developed properly. This program connects inventors and brands in a controlled, professional way.

Our Role

  • Quick feasibility + brand-fit screening

  • Brand matching and introductions (where appropriate)

  • Development and execution support through to production

How You Start

We begin with a non-confidential concept teaser.

 

If there’s a potential fit, we move forward under NDA/MNDA before requesting any detailed materials.

How royalty-based collaboration with toy brands works

In a typical collaboration, the brand develops and sells the product under its own brand and the inventor is compensated through royalties on sales. Terms depend on category, complexity and commercial risk. No outcomes are promised upfront.

This Is

​Inventor idea → brand development & distribution → inventor royalties.

This Is Not

Character/franchise licensing or an open public idea contest.

Why inventors should not deal directly with factories

Direct factory contact can lead to premature disclosure, unclear tooling ownership, and cost-driven decisions that dilute the original intent. The program keeps manufacturing engagement controlled and structured.

Common Risks

  • Files circulating too early

  • Ownership ambiguity (CAD/tooling)

  • Execution drift driven by cost

Program Approach

Inventors do not deal directly with factories. Manufacturing is engaged only when roles, ownership and scope are clear.

How we protect inventor ideas

Protection is a process: staged disclosure, NDA/MNDA before details, and controlled access during development and tooling.

Stage 1

​Non-confidential overview only (no CAD, no detailed files).

Stage 2

Detailed disclosure only under NDA/MNDA if there is a potential fit.

How the collaboration process works

Step 1 — Non-confidential concept teaser

High-level overview only. No detailed files.

Step 2 — Initial review

Feasibility, originality and potential brand fit.

Step 3 — Confidentiality stage

NDA/MNDA before any detailed disclosure.

Step 4 — Brand matching

Introductions where appropriate.

Step 5 — Collaborative development

Inventor + brand + execution team.

Not every submission moves forward. Fit, feasibility and commercial realism matter.

Submit a non-confidential concept teaser

Please do not upload detailed files, CAD, drawings or confidential materials at this stage. If there is potential fit, we will propose next steps under NDA/MNDA before requesting details.
