Fundamentals (Product Development)

Following are fundamental topics to consider in the invention, patent, industrial design and product development process and a basic approach to the "business of design" and bringing a new product to the market. Understanding the basics is very important, as there are lots of invention promotion companies who will be happy to say - you have a great idea - and give us your money, only to be left in wonderment when nothing happens. Be smart about how you approach this business and where you invest your monies.

Start with learning the Key Vocabulary and the general rules, procedures and laws regarding Intellectual Property, the use of Non-Disclosures and Confidentiality agreement, including the patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret protection system. If a Royalties or Licensing Agreement is your goal then educate yourself on the advantages and disadvantages of this system. The real issues are making sure you are conducting product development under the proper, Compliance & Standards and know which jurisdiction of Government Organizations and Safety Regulators you may be operating under, including required oversight and procedures for conducting testing and documentation for approvals and certification which may be required for your product or market. Joining Industry Associations can be beneficial to imply compliance and keep abreast of current and arising product, electronic and manufacturing technologies.
