Gene Luoma is the Inventor of the Zip-It Drain Snake

Gene Luoma has worked on many inventions over the years and has obtained a dozen patents. One particular invention of his went big-time. Gene came up with an easier, more effective way to unclog drains, which he named Zip-it.

Zip-it was licensed to a company with thousands of stores, and Gene was receiving significant royalties. In the licensing agreement, the licensee even agreed to help fight any companies who dared to infringe upon his patent. Everything looked good. However, the top salesman for the licensee left the company and went to a competitor that immediately knocked off Gene’s invention.

He attempted to use his patent rights to stop the infringer, but over the years it became worse, ultimately costing he and his family both financially and emotionally.
