What to do if you’re a new inventor

Discover a great invention and what do you do? Having a brilliant idea is one thing; actually marketing the product is a totally different prospect. You can’t really class yourself as an inventor until other people know about your idea. You know you’ve made it as an inventor when your design hits the market and people actually buy the goods. So where do you start when you have a great idea? How can you tell if your new invention is totally innovative and hasn’t been designed by another inventor? It’s best to seek help at the early stage and experts in engineering solutions can assist with all aspects of your invention from the conception to the manufacturing stage.

One of the first things to establish as a new inventor is has your product been made before? That’s vital. You could be accused of stealing the ideas of another inventor if you don’t establish if your idea is new or not. See if there are any copyrights or patents pending on similar designs before you take anything further as an inventor. This can be established through a feasibility service through experts in engineering services. They do the research on your behalf to see if another inventor already has a patent for the same design. If the invention is unique you are free to develop the concept further and a working prototype will be required at this stage.

Once you have established if the project is new you have to make sure it works. You’ll have egg on your face as an inventor if the item you have thought of doesn’t work! Again engineering services can help you with this process. Approach them as an inventor and they can provide a pilot study prior to the prototyping phase. You can work through the design together and as the inventor you’ll have the final say in the option you choose. Get the design right and a working prototype can be produced. At this stage it’s a good idea to protect the design so get a patent on the invention and secure the rights as an inventor.

Finally having established the design works it’s yours to market as you like. You can either license the product to an existing manufacturer or look for funding and manufacture the product yourself.
