Marin County: Open minded culture. Popular psychology and self help workshops attract innovative people. Yet California’s self actualization movement has lacked the innovative feel more present in the 1960’s. Pop psychology has perhaps become too entrenched, and is in need for more innovative thinking. Marin is marked in bold because of it’s potential for innovative thinking. The cultural anthropology holding back Marin county’s self actualization movement is based on “Role Culture Plays In The Creative Thought Process” www.MagicalGenius.org first coined by Steven Kays, CEO, Innovation Institute.

San Francisco: Ties for Most Innovative California City Award

Engineers living in the most innovative California cities on the "Peninsula" down south often prefer living in San Francisco. Morning rush hour traffic from San Francisco to Santa Clara County is heavier going south than going north. SF has better restaurants, and innovative cultural outlets than Silicon Valley. SF has many of the needed creative cultural elements needed to nurture innovative thinking as outlined in www.MagicalGenius.org  Silicon Valley is more conservative, and lacks San Francisco’s night life, and creative culture.

San Joaquin County: on the innovative California cities list because its near Silicon Valley. Little happening in San Joaquin County.  San Joaquin County is trying however, e.g. they recruited Solano County's economic development king Mike Amman to work for them instead.

See Disclaimers: Innovation Institute, LLC Doesn’t Warrant Anything

The Innovative California Cities List was compiled by Innovation Institute, LLC headquartered in Solano County, California. Other regions of the world are also very innovative such as Europe, Commonwealth countries, Japan, South Korea, Israel, Brazil, etc.

Innovation Institute, LLC, and Invention Springboard, division of License It Today.Com, LLC offer electronic patent rights and electronic patent rights related services to all the California cities on the innovative city list, plus the rest of California, the United States, and world. Innovation Institute, LLC, and Invention Springboard do business with over 100 countries.

Innovation Institute developed electronic inventions since the 1970's. It opened the California office building and its headquarters in California Jan 2000. The Innovative California Cities List can be subjective, and was developed based on the institute's decades of experience and readings.

Innovative California Manufacturing:

Innovation Institute seeks electronics manufacturers to produce electronic inventions. Manufacturer's profit margin may run as high as 20% to 30% of net sales. Warranties such as zero royalties until you turn a profit are negotiable if you locate in California or other designated states or countries we have good relations with.

Innovative California Production:

• Later Innovation Institute will need assistance with contract design, prototype, and manufacturing.

• Distributors will need product support.

• Partnership: The manufacturer will mostly control product design and future improvements.

• Innovation Institute will happily work with agents.

• Great upside potential: Receive excellent exclusive agreements, because of the time, costs and risks in bringing the invention to market.

Innovative California Distributors are also needed for concept inventions with electronic patent rights www.ElectronicPatentRights.com and provisional patent rights www.ProvisionalPatentRights.com.
