At some point, an absolute GENIUS invention has popped into your head, right?  But it seemed like too much work to patent and sell your special gloves that keep pickle juice from staining your fingers . . . so you didn't do anything about it.

Well . . . you're not alone.  A new survey found one out of THREE Americans say they've come up with a great idea for an invention.

But . . . only one out of 10 of them have actually applied for a patent on it, and actually tried to DO something with it.

And only one in 14 have taken it beyond the patent stage to manufacture and sell it.
