Unsolicited Ideas

From time to time, Newell Rubbermaid does post specific requests for technology and innovation challenges on our Web site under Technology Assets on the “Our Company” page. There are several requirements to responding to a technology request – for instance, your idea must be patented or patent-pending with a published patent application, and it must specifically relate to one or more of the listed areas of Technology Interests. Detailed information on how to respond to a specific request for information or innovation challenge is provided on our Web site. Responses will only be reviewed if they are submitted in accordance with the requirements on the specific request.

If you do send us any unsolicited ideas or suggestions, you agree that there is no confidential relationship with respect to such information and that Newell Rubbermaid has no obligation, including financial, to you in connection therewith. You expressly disclaim and waive all rights in any such information or unsolicited ideas that you submit to Newell Rubbermaid and agree that Newell Rubbermaid will be free to use it in any way without any obligation or payment to you. Furthermore, you represent that you are free to disclose such information and that no other party has any rights in the information.

Most of our global brands are marketed in the United States and Canada, including Rubbermaid®, Sharpie, Graco®, Calphalon®, Irwin®, Lenox®, Levolor®, Paper Mate®, Dymo®, Waterman®, Parker®, Goody® and Technical Concepts™.
