| If you are and you have an interesting and patentable idea then we would like to hear about it! Firstly though may we suggest that you go through the points below first.... 1. Have you checked whether someone else has already had the same great idea? Go to the espacenet website and do your own patent search using the free online search facilities and feel confident that the idea is new. 2. How are you going to earn money from your idea? This is most often the area that budding inventors fail to pay attention to. Think about what business model you will need to fulfil your goals. Do you want to earn a lump sum fee and sell the idea, do you want royalties for every one that's sold, do you want to have your own range of products, are they going to be made by your company 3. Have you thought about the investment required to progress your idea to reality? Developing and marketing a new product is a pretty lengthy and expensive exercise; don't expect to achieve it on a shoestring! Click on the link below for more information. |
