Invention Submission Disclaimer

In submitting your idea, drawing, model and/or product to General Tools and Instruments (Referred as GTI), you acknowledge and agree that:

  • Submitting your ideas, drawings, model and/or product (“submission”) does not obligate GTI in any way and does not create a contract between you and GTI.
  • We accept idea submissions from independent inventors and give them an honest, good faith review. If our analysis reveals that the project will be profitable for both the inventor (you) and us, we will then proceed with the next steps.
  • It may not be possible for GTI to return to you your submission, including the idea, drawings, model and/or product.
  • All ideas submitted are to be reviewed on a non-confidential basis.  “Non-confidentiality” means that GTI is not required to keep your idea a secret.

GTI gives no advice as to whether your idea is patentable. Such advice may come only from a patent attorney or licensed patent agent. If you wish patent advice, it is advisable to seek advice from an independent patent attorney.
