Introducing QuikLook™ 
 
Business Metamorphosis has offered thorough, flexible, patent searching for more than 7 years.  Now we make patent searches easy for people who want or need to do some of the work themselves but still want the job done right
.
BML Logo


  Quik Look products the same well tested  searching strategy as our AlaCarte patent searches  while allowing you   to purchase parts of the  search without buying the whole package.  
 
Find out if someone else has already patented your idea and whether it is worth going forward a patent application   
The modules  comprising  QuikLook™ , makeup  a seamless transition to a full scale AlaCarte™ search. Each module  builds on the last one.  You only buy as many modules as you need to answer your question about patentability or freedom to use.  Or  you can also buy complete searches built from these modules.  
   
Many of you will receive our promotional flyer with details on QuikLook™ in the near future.  If you want more information now or don't receive the flyer please email us at info@businessmetamorphosis.com and put QuikLook™ on the subject line.

 
Objective Workman's Comp Test helps win  Court Battle
 
 BML Logo
 
 
X-RTS has been an  ITTr client for a number of years.  One of their inventions is an objective test for what is called "Sincerity of Effort".  Until recently the only recognized tests that established the degree of disability of a person receiving Workmans Comp insurance were based on subjective criteria.
 
Our client Darrell Schapmire and his associates have been promoting their "Lever Arm" equipment and test as an objective alternative to the prevailing orthodoxy for some time. 
 
 In  the case of Knapp vs McKay, the  XRTS test provided the margin of victory for the defendant. The jury disallowed the disability claim of the plaintiff based largely on the XRTS test.  You can learn more about XRTS and their products from their website.
 
 XRTS is offering the lever arm patent  behind their "Cross-Reference Testing System" and another product, the 4 wheel excercise cart for licensing through ITTr.  If you are interested in learning more about these opportunities,  please contact ITTr
Trade Show Trade Show Follow-up™
Pilot Project at RPCNBML Logo
 
 Since all the penguins are members of the Rochester Professional Consultants Network (RPCN), The Penguin group has volunteered to use our new product Trade Show Trade Show Follow-up™
in a pilot project  to help manage new attendees at RPCN meetings.  
 
RPCN collects the contact information of new attendees at its meetings much as attendees at trade shows collect business cards.   Similarly, followup with these prospective new members has been inadequate. 
 
Penguin will enter the attendee information into our proprietary software and then call all of them with a script selected by RPCN.  In addition to following up,  Penguin will also collect information the attendee wishes to share such as his/her impression about the meetings questions and issues.  We will also provide literature and links to RPCN services as requested by the Attendee and supplied by RPCN.  To learn if       Trade Show Follow-up™ can help you , checkout the Penguin Web site.
 
Opportunity Associates Launches  Innovation Management Workshops
 

In its efforts to help businesses in managing their opportunities Business Metamorphosis  LLC has entered into a joint venture with Hans von Gehlen's MindSetter LLC which  specializes in creating and performing interactive participant workshops in various areas of business. 

    
The joint venture (called Opportunity Associates)  has transformed the Opportunity Portfolio Methodology which you have read about in this newsletter before into executable workshops at three levels.
 
  • Level I is a 1.5hr introductory session that acquaints participants with opportunity management thinking.
  • Level II was called the Quick Access program, targeting companies who need to rapidly develop new sources of revenue.
  • Level III is the classic Strategic Opportunity Portfolio as part of the company's innovation management or business strategy development.

Opportunity Associates currently rolling these new programs out with pilot clients.
