I got an ‘Inventor of the Year Award’ for an electronic thingy; so went around the world three times, looking for a maker. I met hundreds in consumer electronics - all loved it; curiously, no willing ‘partners’?! While traveling, I carried J&J or Oral B dental floss in my pocket; which can actually be quite uncomfortable. So I made a note to design ‘a comfortable dental floss’. Got time to do so, a few years later; made a sample & took it to a local pharmacy chain; immediate order. Got it going; patents, production line, orders, delivering.
It gets Gold or Silver Medals in every exhibition entered; & has been described as the ‘Rolls Royce’ of dental floss.
After debugging production, I wanted / needed to sell or get a partner, (no option, electronic thingy had used all funds) so tried, in good faith, to talk to the ‘oral majors’. Unfortunately, no ‘common sense’ from anybody; one co refused an offer of $1M - for lock stock & barrel - but later boasted that they spent $1,050 million, changing a 3 blade razor to a 4 blade razor?!? Defies logic, IMO.
I was warned by an ‘insider’ about trying to do business with J&J. She said they will just talk and talk and talk - & this is what happened, with the local office. Talk and talk and talk - as predicted. So asked local GM Bob if he could arrange a meeting with J&J Intl HQ / US. He arranged a meeting, so I flew half way around the world to US / NY using last of funds; hopes high, situation dire.
Called J & J New Jersey in the a.m., after arrival. "Oh I’m sorry, we don’t have time to meet you"
When the bank foreclosed on the farm, which was Dads' purpose in life, & which had been used as collateral for funds for the Inventor of the Year thingy, he had a stroke, and later died. Mum and he had fed, housed and educated 8 kids, and been a major force for good in our community.
Dad was my mentor; we used to invent together, sitting around the breakfast room table till all hours. It was as if we became one mind. He died hating my guts.
Inventors, be warned. Many companies get their ‘kicks’, baiting inventors, possibly at the behest of the IP mafia? J&J are said to have done it this to at least one other, that I know of. I am sure there will be more.
Bloody disgrace, if you ask me, considering J & J was founded on inventions; with Robert Wood Johnsons’ antiseptic surgical supplies, & later Band Aids.
Could be, Craig, but not. How often do they get Gold Medals for their floss? They dealt in bad faith. They agreed to meet - but after the time, effort and money, i.e. I had flown half way round the world to meet them, they 'changed their minds' - not about the product, but about even having a meeting.
Sabotage.
Do they have a record of dealing in good faith with independent inventors? Thought not. OK, surprise me!
