We submitted our invention 8 months ago. It was a big deal. took a lot of work. were so excited. never heard anything back. we used to be a big fan of kelly ripa. not so sure anymore. that was a waste of our time and money.
Hi, Bobbie, My name is Linda I KNOW how you feel. I showed up at the contest JUNE 2009 in Dallas, my mother was terminally ill. She died that Saturday morning at 9.00 am i was still in Dallas. THIS COMPANY SHOULD REALLY TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION WHAT PEOPLE DID PUT THERE LIVES THREW FOR THIS CONTEST. LINDA
Bobbie, I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING FROM ANYONE. LINDA
Hey Mary Lou!
I, too, got a call from Danielle in July but still no word. I do have her e-mail. I have thought several times to contact her and ask why we would be told to expect a call and get nothing...
Let me know if you want to contact her & I'll get that for you! With all the rumors that have been in circulation, and not knowing what was real and what is not, I'm not sure I want to call or even be part of their process. I am sure they have all their inventors at this point, as they said they would start production in late September. I heard people have been contacted way before now, contracts getting finalized and production getting ready to start!
I am sure you have a great product and you can get that out to market on your own! YOU can do anything...don't wait around for them to make your dream happen....that comes from you!
I know I will...
Good luck and let me know if I can help in any way!
Teri
thanks for the inspiration. lets both do our products without them.
Bobbie
Hey Ladies:
I also received a call from Danielle last July. She said that she would be contacting me. I have not heard from anyone as of yet and I am anxiously waiting!!
I heard that contracts were sent out. However, I never received one. I do not see a phone number listed on Milojo's website.
I would just like to know if I am in the running.
Somebody out there must have information!!!!
Can anyone give me an answer?
I appreciate your assistance!!
Ciao!!!!
Mary Lou
Hi Ladies~
I was wondering if anyone that has left a message on this message board has been contacted by Milojo?
I am also curious if anyone knows anything about this process and if it is over, will they post the finalists and information about the show. I was told a long time ago by Danielle that I would receive a call but I never did.
Thanks,
Teri
Is it too late to submit? How are we protected if our patent is not submitted/ finalized?
I'm curious if anyone has heard from Milojo in the past couple weeks. I have heard rumors that the finalists have all been notified, then other rumors that the call backs won't begin until September. I did receive a call a couple weeks back asking for an electronic version of a photo of myself and one of my invention. Not sure if this meant anything or not and would love to know if anyone else shared a similiar communication with them.
Do you know if any canadian citizens like myself could ever be part of this great casting call for inventors?
