Through his engaging brainstorming sessions, Darrell Thomas Fertakos has the unique ability to transform everyday people and companies into winning product concept creators. A prime example is his collaboration with David Bulka, whose product Clamp Champion became a top seller on TV and online.
This success story is a testament to the transformative power of Darrell's work, ideas, IP, and unique methods, which have consistently sparked innovative thinking and fruitful inventions for both individual inventors and large corporations. His strategies have been instrumental in the R&D of top-selling new products that generated sales in the range of millions for solo inventors
to billions in sales results for product development companies.
The collective results helped produce over 100 million units of new products sold globally on TV commercials and even on hit TV shows, including The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, QVC, online, in over 30,000 retail stores, and at tradeshows around the world. All these accomplishments are substantiated by numerous news reports, emails, US patent examiners, online data, his IP and design records shared, years of work, and further verified by experts at www.Coffylaw.com. As a consultant, entrepreneur, employee, or volunteer.
Darrell's collaborative approach, combined with his passion for invention, work, and encouragement, inspired David Bulka to create a new product, Clamp Champion. Patents were granted and honored with a Gold Medal Award as the best new product in the home accessories category at INPEX, America's largest Invention trade show in 2015. This success paved the way for Clamp Champion's appearances on QVC where it became a top seller from 2016-2019 and Amazon from 2017-2022. Clamp Champion is now recognized as the world's best tablet and smartphone holder, with millions in sales results.
Darrell's work was instrumental in securing licensing deal and investment offers for Clamp Champion. His efforts even brought David Bulka close to appearing on the hit TV show Shark Tank and securing a meeting with one of the show's investors. This successful journey led to David's retirement in Florida, a testament to the results Darrell can produce.

Many create in the dark. However, there are scientific ways to envision quality product concepts prolifically. Often, the key to success is finding an idea you are passionate about with market potential to inspire creators to take action. The human mind thinks of over 50,000 thoughts per day. As a result, it is possible to train the mind to think of 100s of new product and business ideas.
Why The Need
?
The Journal Of Product Innovation Management recommends reviewing or coming up with at least 100 product and business ideas before deciding which one to focus most on. I help people and companies bring out their full creative and inventive potential. **Many companies struggle to invent, so some reverse engineer or copy to have success at times. Several end up in long legal battles that create stress and cost time plus money. Companies that invent rather than copy or create me-too products often succeed more so by increasing brand value, brand loyalty, and customer fans as known innovators in the market.
Do you want to buy an imitation BMW or a real brand? Companies that copy, at times, end up in lawsuits that cost millions. This is a high-risk endeavor, often due to not knowing how to invent effectively. If you truly seek to be an innovator and authentically invent, please contact me today for help. After all, I was trained by the NJ 2001 Inventor of The Year who had over 100 patents.

I help for free or a fee agreed upon.
Inspired by Walt Disney and Thomas Edison to create without limits to serve the public good, I used mind machines after reading the book Mega Brain Power. To help me create over 1,500 of my own product and business ideas after researching The Thomas Edison Papers. Afterward, I appeared on several hit TV shows and won new invention awards, as the only student in my entire college, then again in my MBA program plus in the business world to receive new invention awards while in school and after. I also received a scholarship for my innovation research thanks to George Mason University - Institute For Humane Studies. To help me create and inspire others to do so.
With results featured on The Jay Leno Tonight Show, designing a similar product to what later became e-cigarettes (10/04). Then selected out of 4,200 for an invention award in The History Channel’s Modern Marvels InventNow Challenge (5/06) for the design of a mobile pay app prior to the App Store coming out to help inspire the future development of the $1 trillion mobile fin-tech industry. Next, I appeared on American Inventor as a NYC finalist, inventing a smart airbag helmet (07) and Discovery Channel’s PitchMen TV show with my smart glasses invention (4/09), prior to Fortune 100 companies. Then, I won a new invention award in my MBA at Fairleigh Dickinson University for my smart AR glasses invention in R&D to help the disabled and masses in 2010.
My unique talents as an award-winning product developer have been acknowledged by esteemed organizations such as the National Inventors Hall of Fame, Rothman Institute of Innovation, History Channel, Time Magazine, NJ Tech Council, and globally. This recognition is an example of the value I bring to the product development industry.
I believe in a collaborative innovation strategy to co-create the very best new products possible to serve the public good.
My track record speaks for itself. I have helped solo inventors and companies design winning new products and business ideas by teamwork, leading to millions in sales results for inventors and billions for product companies. These products are seen on TV, QVC, online, tradeshows, and in retail stores globally, with over 100 million units of new products sold. As a result of my ability to innovate and deliver tangible, significant, award-winning results.

It is Important To Note
When I was younger I did not always aim for contracts in writing, I helped people and companies out of goodness of my heart and love for this work.
At times paid other times not, however my ideas, intellectual property and intellectual capital, work plus records prove I helped produce these results.
But Wait, There's More
In the past, I helped companies design now popular As Seen On TV branded products, and when in school 1998-2010 I began to design similar products in part to what- Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, Snapchat, Clubhouse, Bumble, Square, Google and Apple Pay plus FitBit and Apple Airtag further developed years later; even Smart AR Glasses, AI Search, Metaverse, Text To Image Generators and Web 3 Innovations still coming out today. I truly began to describe or design several similar products around the same time or prior to top companies; in addition to the design or description of 100s of other business, TV show and product ideas. I now have over 650 creative records at the patent office, products to demo, prototypes, lab books and dated code to prove I speak the truth. I'm currently working on new high-social impact reality TV shows seeking to sell plus AI, Media, and Web 3 innovations.

No, I am not trying to take any credit away from anyone else. Millions of people have similar product and business ideas, and only a small percentage take action with their ideas to have success. Fact is, I have proven history of creating winning product concepts and that is what I am best at.
If you are struggling to find or think of a new business idea to work on or looking for a new product to ideate or develop, then reach out. I enjoy and most of all what I'm best at is new product and business concept creation/ideation. History teaches most new products and business ideas fail. As a result of years of education, research and experience I have a history of creating winning product and business ideas. Coming up with the right idea or identifying one is critical for success. Together we can increase the odds of
co-creating winning new product and business ideas.
Execution of that idea is more important and often requires funding, free time, education, patience, a ton of hard work and the help of others. Everything in life is a risk and businesses have many unexpected risks that can emerge at anytime. I can also help reduce some risks - with advice, work and connections. So reach out to discover possibilities.
History Teaches
Let us not forget all inventors and industry contributors in history.
Their hard work made what was once considered impossible now a reality.
Thomas A. Edison did not invent the light bulb first. Have you ever read about Humphry Davy, who invented a light bulb 70+ years prior to Edison? Alexander Graham Bell was not the only one to invent the telephone; Elisha Gray did as well as others, according to many experts and invention history. Nor were the Wright Bothers the very first to fly a machine above the ground. All industry experts, product visionaries, scientific writers, inventors, tinkerers, and prototype makers should not be forgotten in history. Their work inspired improved solutions to problems, enabling the inventions we enjoy today.
I also created similar TV show formats and Copyrights to what Shark Tank, America’s Got Talent, Dancing With The Stars, The Profit, and Money Court took to the next level years later. My 1,500+ creative records prove these facts. So, if I reach out to share a new TV show or product, be ready for a meeting.
Sadly, many companies in the past practiced outdated closed innovation red tape policies that made it very difficult to share new ideas/IP with product companies and in the movie/TV business. Luckily, Harvard Business School taught the world about the benefits of open innovation. As a result, it is now easier to share ideas and co-create new products and TV shows with companies than in the past. To create boundless opportunities for creators today. Since 2004, many companies and I have been inspired to practice open innovation due to all the benefits that emerge when inventors unite with larger companies to co-create new products and services to benefit humanity. While finding a win-win way to work together and share profits.
In the past, I created one of the first social networks for inventors and helped create the hit TV show Pitchmen, which aired on The Discovery Channel to help bring inventors' dreams to life. Verified by patent attorneys at www.Coffylaw.com.
It is important to remember millions of people have similar product and business ideas. Only a small percentage take action with their ideas and find the right support to succeed. Luckily, more opportunities exist for creators than ever, and many are succeeding. As a result, it is a great time in history to dream big and work on ideas to positively help the world.
Ignore The Naysayers
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyhOmBPtGNM
Several investors and companies told me in the past, " that some of my best ideas could not work, such as creating a social network for everyone back in 2003 since I was told AOI IM was already out, with no market need for a new way to meet friends online. Why would anyone trust making a payment with a phone when a credit card can do the same with fewer risks? No one will watch a TV show to share their business ideas, which will put their business and IP at risk. Videos by the public on a website have been done before. Smart glasses would be too costly to create and a product liability, so give up on that."
Industry experts throughout history also said there is no market for oil,
the airplane, telegraph, movies with sound, phone, and personal computer.
In life, you will encounter naysayers who doubt the possibilities. They shy away from risks and focus on why something new can't work. As innovators, we must believe in what can be and work hard to accomplish, for if you don't believe, how can you succeed ?
Challenges Innovators And I Experienced
The Dark Side Of The Business
That Needs To End
To Accelerate The Full Innovative Potential Of The World
Many of the top invention movies in the past 20 years, such as Flash Of Genius, Joy, The Social Network, General Magic, and The Current War, depict the setbacks faced by top inventors. They were often outpaced by larger companies, at times sadly betrayed by co-founders, and deceived by new hires or companies who promised to assist. They encountered broken contracts, infringed patents, and bureaucratic red tape. While struggling with high costs, a lack of funding or the right talent, and the challenge of envisioning the future before the technology was ready to support it. Yet, they persisted in their quest to solve problems by creating new innovations to help people and the world.
Invention history teaches that about 66% of innovators do not encounter these challenges. Sadly, 33% or more do, which slows down the rate of success and progress. We must aim for a future where conflicts end in business, collaboration increases, and win-win deals are worked out more so.
I had success and unexpected challenges, similar to many in history, to learn from. As Thomas Edison taught, we never fail; we just learn more, and often, one must try 100s of times before all goes right to enable success.
The Good News Is
It Is The Best Time In History To Invent
More companies are licensing products, countless investors exist today, and new ways to succeed have emerged with the creation of venture studios, accelerators, and all kinds of programs. Now, the cost of starting a business is at an all-time low. Best of all, more capital is now available to find and start a business. In addition, joint ventures and strategic partnerships are forming at an accelerated rate to co-develop and market new products by working out win-win commercialization profit-sharing deals. Entrepreneurship was looked down upon in the past but is now celebrated as a viable career path. More millionaires and billionaires have been made, and jobs created by taking risks with business ideas. So go for your dreams with this one life we have to live.
Sure, Challenges Also Exist
$300 million a year is lost to creators by unethical people and companies
who take advantage of others rather than trying to lift each other up. About $400 billion is spent yearly, and over one million jobs in the US economy are lost each year due to IP theft, copying, and various business laws being broken. Imagine what would happen if all this negativity ended and we all lived by the golden rule? The rate of technological progress and problem-solving would accelerate by at least 3x, to create a far more prosperous world.
Due to all these challenges, U.S. Congress passed The 1999 American Inventors Protection Act to help protect creators in more ways than ever before. It is time to work harder to improve the past and create peace by the formation of win-win deals so infinite possibilities emerge via collaborative opportunities in the future. Life is the greatest gift; the biggest regret is to live in fear and not try, so face fears to make dreams a reality.
Business is like marriage. The magical ingredient to success is often finding the right people and companies to work with. When you do, products that don't do much at times can do very well in the market. As Staples Inc. proved with the
"Easy Button"
A great team with funds made a product that did next to nothing- sell millions of units with a clever marketing strategy to produce a ROI. Forbes reports 90% of funded startups fail. This statistic can be improved if we build ventures together from the ground up with investors or corporate partners from the get-go on the founders' side- to de-risk all aspects of new business creation.
To conclude, we all have different experiences, advice, and education that can help make our dreams come true. The key is to have an open mind, learn from many people, and follow your heart. There is no one way to success, so think big, keep trying, continuously learn, and go after your dreams.
Remember, it is okay to pivot, listen to customers, and pay attention to market trends and feedback. Develop a continuous innovation and improvement strategy and research the six buyer types to tailor products and marketing. Sometimes, we need to slow down, pause, and decide if it is best to enter the market first, be in the middle, or last. 36 to 95 % of all products fail. To increase the odds of success, consult with many, aim for contracts in writing, try to get an NDA if possible, protect what you create with registered IP, and try to be in a position of mental, emotional, and financial strength when starting a business. Most of all, look for people who treat you well, support your dreams, build you up, and not tear you down.
Testimonial By Dr. Sundhar
CEO of Invention Oasis Inc.
" Darrell helped my business design new products and appeared on hit TV shows, including The Jay Leno Tonight Show, to market our new products. Thanks to Darrell, I received a meeting with one of the Shark Tank investors and almost showcased on the hit TV show Shark Tank. He even found my business product licensing deal offers for a new double filament and CFL light bulbs patented and developed, sold a portfolio of my tech patents, and helped my business raise funds and grow.
As a former Ph.D. Professor Of Engineering and patented inventor Darrell is an excellent product concept creator. He is able to design valuable products in multiple industries that solve problems, heal hurts, and create mass-market opportunities. I enjoy working with Darrell and trust him," said Dr. Sundhar.
