There are many questions we ask ourselves here at Flambeau when evaluating a new product idea. The following is a questionnaire we hope will provide us with some of the answers to those questions. This is your opportunity to put down all your thoughts concerning your new product idea or invention.

Flambeau accepts and encourages the submission of outside ideas, inventions, and/or information regularly with the following understanding:

Submission of an idea or invention, patented or unpatented, is gratuitous, creates no confidential relationship with the company and does not obligate the company to accept or pay for the idea or invention, or to pay any expenses the inventor may incur in making the submission. It is the intent of Flambeau to limit the disclosure of this idea to only those required to evaluate the concept, both within and, on occasion, outside of Flambeau. If Flambeau considers the idea or invention new and useful to the company, the inventor will be so informed in writing and the company will attempt to negotiate with the inventor a mutually satisfactory written agreement providing for compensation to the inventor.

Flambeau will not make any payment, nor undertake any obligation to pay, for any submitted idea or invention except pursuant to a negotiated written agreement between the company and inventor -- if and when necessary. In any event, Flambeau reserves the right to retain all materials submitted to the company for consideration, in order to preserve an accurate record of the idea or invention submitted.

If you find the conditions outlined above acceptable, please fill out the release area below and submit.

I have read and understand the above statement. In consideration of Flambeau’s examining my suggestion, idea, or invention described above, I hereby release Flambeau from any obligation or liability with respect to any information submitted to it.
