Other dictionary definitions of the word innovation are similar. Hence, the common use of innovation seems to have been changed. The first part seems to be suddenly interchanging Innovations and Innovative Products.
The second part seems to improperly equate Innovation defined by the Agreement as an idea with invention patented and unpatented but does not mention the latter. Unfortunately, the uninitiated may believe that they have rights to their idea or ideas when clearly they do not.
On the other hand, an inventor in a disagreement with Edison Nation may lose some steam to their argument because he or she would have admitted that their invention especially unpatented is simply an idea. Another important point to note — the Agreement never mentions the word invention. Except for twice in your article, you do not mention the word innovation except to repeat it in an Edison Nation term.
You properly refer instead to inventions and ideas separately and are careful not to mix or interchange the two with the word innovation.

Third You should be concerned that others may submit the same idea as you and Edison Nation may overlook your idea. Face it we invenotrs are mostly improving the products that exist in the marketplace so do you really think they will do their homework?
I don't. I expected much more from the company who sends me emails on a regular basis. This one made my stomach sick, now I question the integrity of Edison Nation. I'm not buying it, especially from a guy who ownes an invention promotion company, a magazine, a TV show.
