From Idea to Invention
Before I begin developing a new invention, I build and test prototypes to determine whether the idea is practical and commercially viable.
I also begin the patent process early, usually with a provisional patent application. As development and testing continue, I strengthen the patent protection through additional applications and refinements.
That'
The Idea
Once I have an idea, I research existing patents, competing products, and available technologies. This helps me determine whether the invention offers a meaningful improvement over what's already available.
The Patents
Early in the process, I establish patent protection. I believe a commercially valuable invention must also be patentable and defensible.
Building & Testing Prototypes
This is my favorite part of the process. Building and testing prototypes reveals what works, what doesn't, and what needs improvement. It's the only way to fully develop an invention.
