Inventor Success Story | A Milestone Worth Celebrating
Today we celebrate inventor Jean Dumka, who recently reached a defining moment in her journey. Jean signed a licensing agreement for her product, the FlipFix. It’s an invention designed to solve the everyday frustrations of broken shopping carts. Congratulations, Jean. Your persistence and creativity turned a simple idea into a practical solution that stores and shoppers can both appreciate.
Inventor Journey | From Idea to Determination
Jean’s journey began like many others. She spotted a problem, felt the spark of an idea, and knew it had potential. What followed, however, was not an instant success. For years she tried to move the idea forward on her own. She searched online, listened to different advice, and even received encouragement from her family. Yet despite all of that, she still felt stuck.
The early excitement gave way to long stretches of uncertainty. The road was harder and slower than she ever imagined. Like so many inventors, Jean was determined but lacked the guidance needed to turn her idea into a real opportunity.
Inventor Process: The Turning Point
Everything changed when Jean discovered Inventor Process, Inc. After four years of going in circles, she finally had a team who understood how to take an invention from concept to licensing. We quickly evaluated her situation, created a clear plan, and guided her step by step.
With our expertise, Jean’s invention gained direction and credibility. Instead of wondering what to do next, she had a roadmap. Instead of spinning her wheels, she made progress. We did more than provide encouragement — we brought strategy, industry knowledge, and deal-making experience to the table. Inventor Process, Inc. became the turning point in her story.
Licensing Breakthrough | From Stuck to Signed
With a plan in place, momentum built fast. Interest from companies started to grow, and doors that had been closed for years began to open. Then came the moment that changed everything — a company formally offered to license her product.
That offer led to negotiations, and we guided Jean every step of the way. From presenting FlipFix effectively to structuring the best path forward, our team helped ensure her idea was positioned for success.
Jean described the moment of signing best when she said, “This is happening. All my hard work, all these years — this is happening.” For her, it was the validation of a dream. For us, it was proof that when an inventor has persistence and the right team, success is within reach.

Inspiration for Every Inventor
Jean Dumka’s inventor success story is proof that persistence pays off, but also that persistence alone isn’t always enough. She worked for years on her own without much progress. When she found Inventor Process, everything changed. With the right guidance, her idea gained momentum and her dream became reality.
For inventors reading this, let Jean’s journey encourage you. Success does not always come quickly, but with persistence and the right partner by your side, you can turn a good idea into a real opportunity.
