Michael Shaun is a young entrepreneur and a recent community college graduate. He owns and operates a metal recycling business. Due to his experience and expert knowledge in metal, he has been successful in designing a state of art machine that will sort out metal by its thickness (the “MT Tool”) before the metal is crushed and recycled.

Michael’s invention according to him will make the metal sorting process cheaper and will significantly grow his business profits. He believes the MT Tool has the potential to be marketed world-wide and therefore, he would like to commercialize it. 

He has come to you as his trusted advisor, and he seeks your advice on how to best protect and commercialize his invention.
