Here’s a general instruction and basic information at the idea implementing process:
1. Make certain that your idea is new, and do your homework (patent search);
2. Record your invention to have a proof of ownership (register your idea);
3. What’s your idea’s market value? (test your idea);
4. Marketing of your idea. Manufacturing, ad and sales campaign (run your idea);
5. Auction your invention;
6. File the non-provisional (utility, design, plant) patent, and, if necessary, trademark the name of your product
Every step is important, takes its time and normal course. We draw your special attention on two of the most major steps – testing and marketing – which need your endless passion and consistency.
Also, be advised that disclosing an invention on public (e.g. on IIP-Database) sets the clock running for filing a U.S. patent and derails potential foreign patent rights. You have one (1) year to file for a U.S. patent upon public disclosure, and you may lose any chance of obtaining a foreign patent by disclosing your invention before filing.
In this workshop you will find a lot of technical information, links to internet web pages, videos and books, and we recommend you to learn it as you go, not looking further then you are now on your way.
