			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="/images/products/prod_meatballbaker.jpg" class="alignright noborder" />Our client, Jean, visited us so we could celebrate her success. At a delicious dinner held in Inventionland of spaghetti and meatballs (prepared in the <a href="/products/product_meatballbaker.html">Meatball Baker</a>), she was presented with a gleaming covered tray that concealed a large royalty check. Jean responded with shock, amazement and tears of joy.</p>
<p>Jean and her husband, Donald, said they may use the money to move to a warmer climate when he retires, so they can enjoy their love of golf and get away from the bitter northern Minnesota winters. The couple was blown away by Inventionland. “I love this place, this is awesome; it’s like a dreamland,” said Jean. “You can’t even put it into words, it’s so cool.”</p>
<p>Product update: The Meatball Baker was featured two more times on <a href="http://www.qvc.com/qic/qvcapp.aspx/view.2/app.detail/params.CM_SCID.coll.item.K23382.desc.Slice-Solutions-13-x-10-Nonstick-Meatball-Pan">QVC</a>; apparently they know a hit when they see one! The product was presented during the popular segment “In the Kitchen with David.” The Meatball Baker also earned a Customer Top Rating on QVC.com. Most of the customers who rated the product gave it 5 out of 5 stars! To quote just a few: “Wow! Whatta Pan!” “WONDERFUL PAN!” and “I would LOVE to MEET the person who invented this marvelous pan. Talk about GENIOUS!!” </p>
<p>The product is also selling on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Chicago-Metallic-Specialty-Meatball-Baker/dp/B0028RY0VS">Amazon.com</a>, <a href="http://www.taylorgifts.com/prodetail~itemNo~30279.asp">Taylor Gifts</a>, <a href="http://www.skymall.com/shopping/detail.htm?pid=102943804&#038;c=69753853">SkyMall</a>, and many other stores! </p>
<p><strong>A typical client does not enter into a licensing agreement or profit from their invention.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="/images/products/prod_pizzaserve.jpg" align="right" class="noborder" /><a href="/products/product_pizzaserve.html">The Perfect Serve</a>, Davison’s new combination pizza cutter and spatula, is now for sale in Taylor Gifts, a popular online retailer. The innovative kitchen gadget makes it easier to neatly slice and serve a pizza without having to cut through repeatedly, or use your fingers to help dish it up.</p>
<p>We developed the Perfect Serve pizza cutter and with a non-slip rubber handle, so users can secure a tight grip as the stainless steel wheel slices through pizza crust and all of the toppings. The cutting wheel is located at the front of the spatula to avoid rubbing knuckles across hot pizza, and the contoured edge conforms to the crust of the pizza for serving it to friends and family. Not only great for pizza, it can also be used for dishing up dessert after dinner!  </p>
<p>This corporate product was invented and licensed by Davison for its own benefit. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In addition to all the many and varied consumer products we design, Davison also develops highly technical products for medical, government, and other industries. A sampling of these products is included on our website to show our capabilities extend far beyond consumer products, which may appeal to clients who have technical ideas that are not consumer related.</p>
<p>It can be quite difficult to determine what an industrial product does just by looking at it, however. So, we’ve added descriptions to all the innovative items on the six <a href="/products/products_industry.html">industrial product pages</a>. Check out the latest update to Davison.com!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.davison.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/gary_mrd.jpg" alt="gary_mrd" title="gary_mrd" width="200" height="264" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-392" />Our client, Gary, was blown away when he found out his pet care invention, the Dog Wash, <a href="http://www.skymall.com/shopping/detail.htm?pid=102870461" target="_blank">was selling in Sky Mall</a>, an airline catalog that features luxury goods and products from specialty manufacturers. The sprinkler installer got the great news as an invited guest to Davison in Pittsburgh, PA, where his new product idea was developed. During a visit to <a href="/s_experience/inventionland.html">Inventionland</a>, he saw the packaged product for the first time and learned it was already on the market.<br />
&#8220;That was awesome,&#8221; said Gary. &#8220;It was even better than when I submitted my idea!&#8221;</p>
<p>He got a bigger surprise when George Davison, founder and CEO, presented him with his first royalty check. When asked what he was going to do now, he laughed and said, &#8220;I&#8217;m going to Disneyworld!&#8221; After several years of working on his idea, the receipt of his first royalty check was &#8220;a blessing&#8221; and &#8220;perfect timing,&#8221; said Gary, who was out of work due to the poor economy. </p>
<p><a href="../products/product_macedogwash.html"><img src="/images/products/prod_macedogwash.jpg" align="right" alt="Davison Produced Product Invention Mace Dog Wash is selling in Skymall" class="noborder" width="200" height="300" /></a><strong>Inventor’s story:</strong><br />
Gary came up with his <a href="/s_startsidea/new_product.html">new product idea</a> in an attempt to help his buddy, &#8220;Snake,&#8221; who had a dirty, white dog that ran away whenever he tried to give him a bath. Gary had some scraps of pipe and hose in his truck, so he built a device that would enable his friend to contain and wash the dog. Lo and behold, it worked. He saw a need for such a device on the market, so he went online and found Davison, a new product development firm that provides services to inventors, corporations and entrepreneurs. He submitted his idea and the design team went to work. </p>
<p>The finished product, which was licensed by Maze Pet Products, is a portable and <a href="/products/product_macedogwash.html">inflatable dog washing station</a> that is easy to set up and use. The lightweight, heavy duty unit hooks up to a garden hose and has an adjustable full spray nozzle and gentle side spray, as well as a side entry for easy canine access. </p>
<p>Gary was not only thrilled with the product and royalty check, but by the royal treatment he and his friend, Scott, received at Davison. They toured Inventionland, &#8220;the world&#8217;s most creative workspace,&#8221; and met with Mr. Davison and members of the design and licensing team. The client was impressed with the &#8220;professional operation&#8221; and the work everyone has put into his product.</p>
<p>Gary described Mr. Davison as &#8220;a down-to-earth dude&#8221; who &#8220;really knows what he&#8217;s doing.&#8221; He was also impressed with the company’s development process.</p>
<p>“Davison didn&#8217;t just develop my idea, they actually expanded on it,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I was skeptical; I never saw it coming this far. But it&#8217;s there, it happened, and I can&#8217;t believe it.&#8221; </p>
<p><strong>A typical client does not enter into a licensing agreement or profit from their invention.</strong></p>

The wife, mother and entrepreneur learned her invention was already <a href="http://www.skymall.com/shopping/detail.htm?pid=102883198" target="_blank">selling in Sky Mall</a> and saw the packaged product for the first time during a visit to Inventionland, where her new product was developed.<br />
“That blew me away,” said Sharon. “It was way better than my original idea!” She got an even bigger surprise when George Davison, founder and CEO, presented her with her first royalty check. </p>
<p>“I cried,” she recalled. “I couldn’t believe all the zeros at the end!”</p>
<p>After five years of work, her dream had become a reality and success had come to her family, which had been struggling through some hard times and stressing about how they were going to finance a move to another town. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.davison.com/products/product_macecoolcot.html"><img src="/images/products/prod_macecoolcot.jpg" width="200" height="300" alt="Davison Produced Product Invention Cool Cot" align="right" class="noborder"/></a>“It’s been a long time coming, and I’m so excited and thrilled that it made it somewhere,” Sharon told the team that developed her product. “And it couldn’t have happened without you guys; I’m so grateful.”</p>
<p><strong>Inventor’s Story:</strong><br />
Sharon came up with her idea because she wanted a comfortable, convenient <a href="/products/product_macecoolcot.html">shelter for her cats</a> to use on camping trips or at home. One day in Walmart, she noticed a small demonstration tent and thought that a real tent about that size would be perfect. She found Davison, a new product development firm that provides services to inventors, corporations and entrepreneurs. She submitted her idea online and the team went to work.  </p>
<p>The finished product, which was licensed by Maze Pet Products, features a water-resistant tent with vented roof, raised bed and mesh cot designed to keep dogs and cats cool and dry, even on the hottest or wettest of days. The portable, sturdy and easy to clean unit also offers a convenient alternative to traditional dog houses. </p>
<p>Sharon was not only thrilled with the finished product and royalty check, but by the royal treatment she and her son, Anthony, received at Davison. They toured Inventionland, “the world’s most creative workspace,” and met with Mr. Davison, who she described as “fun, amazing and down-to-earth.” They also got to meet members of the design and licensing team, as well as her Idea Coach who encouraged Sharon as she struggled to keep her project going through financial difficulties.</p>
<p>“I’m pretty excited for the client being able to fulfill her dreams and see her product on the market. That’s the client’s goal and our goal, as well,” said her senior designer.<br />
“I love the whole team,” Sharon said. “They went above and beyond the call of duty – they put their whole heart and effort into my project.” </p>
