R.H. Baer Consultants
R.H. Baer Consultants (RHBC) has been in the business of inventing,
developing, and licensing electronic consumer products since I started it in
1975.
During the '70's and 80's, much of RHBC's work was involved in
cooperative product development at Marvin Glass & Associates, the
pre-eminent US independent toy & game designers of that period.
SIMON, the perennially popular handheld
game was the outstanding product of that period.
I am RHBC's chief cook-and-bottle-washer. Together with a few associates,
I take novel ideas from their inception through hardware and software
design, demo-model development and licensing.
My current associate is Bob Pelovitz of
Acsiom, LLC. Bob and I have partnered to invent and market toy and game
ideas since 1983 and continue to do so today. Some of our joint ventures
have included creative ideas such as recordable talking books, the Video
Buddy Interactive Video Play Station; and most recently, Talkin’ Tools
(2001), which are currently being sold under the Tonka brand name.
In addition to coming up with original product concepts, we also
frequently help our licensees/clients locate and interface with overseas
production engineering and manufacturing facilities; if needed, we act as
technical liaisons for our clients until the product is shipped.
Another main focus has been our development and protection of
Intellectual Property rights, primarily for Consumer and Commercial
Electronics, Computer-based Devices, Videogame Systems and Software
(including involvement as Technical Litigation Consultants and Expert
Witnesses). Acsiom currently provides key support for these efforts and has
been actively involved in such pursuits for nearly 20 years. More
information can be obtained from the Acsiom website.
