The marketing department is the one that has the most knowledge of the market and if they see a benefit using your invention they will push it thru.

Finding a partner with money or experience will help you with selling your invention.

Many inventors fall in love with their creation and lose sight of the fact that some times you need to abandon a failed project and move on.

The help of a patent agent or patent attorney is almost always required at some point.
