We know Nokia doesn’t run short of ideas at all. A simple peek at the Nokia Beta Labs itself reveals how innovative they are. But today, Nokia is asking for your ideas. That’s right, remember that great idea that popped in to your head during that train journey or while you were attending that boring lecture ?? Nokia wants to hear it, and they might even pay you for it.
The new program is called Invent With Nokia and it went live today. Anyone across the globe can take part, you dont have to be a full time inventor. All you do is register at inventwithnokia.nokia.com and put in some non confidential info about your idea, basically what it does and not how it works. Nokia then takes a look, and if they like it and file a patent, they pay you. If the product or service built on it does well with consumers, theres a further award. You get a spot in their hall of fame too. If Nokia passes on the idea, all the rights stay with you.
Nokia is looking for phone concepts and features, apps, user interfaces, cameras and displays, even operating systems. As Nokia puts it, “If you’ve got a practical idea, sign up at Invent With Nokia. We look forward to seeing some of these ideas become reality.” So dig out that idea and sign up !!
