Advertising Your Invention
Advertising is a type of communication that commonly attempts to persuade potential customers to purchase more of a particular brands product or service. Many advertisements are designed to generate increased consumption of those products and services by creating and reinforcing of brand image and brand loyalty. Advertising sometimes has a persuasive message combined with factual information. Major mediums used to deliver these messages include television, radio, cinema, magazines, newspapers, video games, the Internet and billboards. Invented advertising is often placed by advertising agencies on behalf of a companies or other organizations.
Advertising is seen on the seats of shopping carts, on the walls of an airport walkway, on the sides of buses, in telephone messages and in-store public address systems. Advertising is often placed where audiences can easily and frequently access visual, audio and printed information. Some organizations spend large sums of money on advertising that sells what is not, strictly speaking, a product or service include political parties, interest groups, religious organizations, and military recruiters.

Assembly Evaluation
Assembly Evaluation takes place by the utilization of Finite Element Analysis. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a computer simulation process used in engineering analysis. Using numerical techniques called the finite element method (FEM), complicated process simulation is achieved allowing designers and engineers to recognize stress and strain during assembly interactions.
Although commonly used in the determination of stresses and displacements in mechanical objects, FEA is also used to analyze other types of problems. Dynamic issues including heat transfer, solid state diffusion and reactions with moving boundaries, fluid dynamics, and electromagnetism are all studied through FEA.
Finite Element Analysis is carried out on complicated 3D CAD software's such as Solid works and Pro Engineer Developer. Patent Lawyer

Consultant Advice for Invention
A consultant is usually an expert or a professional in a specific field and has a wide knowledge and thus advice of the subject matter. Thus, clients have access to deeper levels of expertise than would be feasible for them to retain in-house, and to purchase only as much service from the outside consultant as desired. A consultant usually works for a consultancy firm or is self-employed, and engages with multiple and changing clients. It is generally accepted good corporate governance to hire consulting agents. A consultant is a professional who provides advice in a particular area of expertise such as accountancy, human resources, marketing, medicine, finance, the environment, technology, law, economics, public affairs, communication, engineering, sound system design, graphic design, or waste management.Patent Lawyer

Davison Marketing Scams
(as per Inventnet) You may have a great idea for a new product or service, but a great idea is not enough. You need to know how to develop and market it commercially. You could try to sell your idea or invention to a manufacturer who would market it and pay you royalties. But finding such a company could be an overwhelming task. You also could consider using the services of an invention promotion firm.
Some invention promotion firms may help you get your idea or invention into the marketplace. But be aware, some inventors have paid thousands of dollars to firms that promised to evaluate, develop, patent, and market inventions and got nothing for their money.
So be cautious. Your enthusiasm for your idea may make you vulnerable to promoters who make false or exaggerated claims about the market potential of your invention.
This brochure tells you how to spot some common signs of trouble, how to protect yourself, and what to do if you become a victim. It also lists government agencies and private organizations that offer additional information and assistance.
How to Identify Legitimate Firms
Often, it is difficult to distinguish between a fraudulent invention promotion firm and a legitimate one. This may be because unscrupulous and honest firms often use many similar advertising and sales techniques, market evaluations, and contract strategies. However, there are some comparisons made in the next three sections that may help you identify legitimate companies.
Advertising and Sales Techniques
Some invention promotion firms advertise through television and radio, and classified ads in newspapers and magazines. They target independent inventors, frequently offering free information to help them patent and market inventions. They also may advertise a toll-free "800" telephone number that inventors can call for written information. However, the information may consist only of brochures about the promoter.
If you respond to the ads, you may hear from a salesperson who will ask for information about yourself, your idea, and a sketch of the invention.
As an inducement, the firm may offer to do a free preliminary review of your invention. Also, some invention promotion firms may claim to know or have special access to manufacturers who are likely to be interested in licensing your invention. Further, some promotion firms may claim to have been retained by manufacturers who are looking for new product ideas. These kinds of claims often can be false or exaggerated. Therefore, before signing a contract with an invention promotion firm who claims special relationships with appropriate manufacturers, ask for some proof.
A Market Evaluation
After giving your invention a preliminary review, a firm might tell you it needs to do a market evaluation on your idea, which may cost several hundred dollars. Such reports from questionable firms often make vague and general statements and provide no hard evidence that there is a consumer market for your invention. Reputable company reports, on the other hand, deal with specifics. Before you pay for a report on your idea, ask what specific information you will receive.
A Marketing and Licensing Contract
Some invention promotion firms also may offer you a contract where they agree to act as your exclusive marketing and licensing agent. For this, a questionable firm may require you to pay an upfront fee of as much as $10,000 and to commit a percentage of the royalties the invention may earn. On the other hand, reputable licensing agents typically do not rely principally on large upfront fees. They normally rely on royalties from the successful licensing of client inventions and are very selective about which ideas and inventions they pursue. A request for an upfront fee frequently is another distinguishing characteristic of a questionable invention promotion company.
How to Protect Yourself
If you are interested in working with an invention promotion firm, consider taking the following precautions before you sign a contract and pay significant amounts of money.
Early in your discussions with a promotion firm, ask what the total cost of its services will be. Consider it a warning if the salesperson hesitates to answer.
Be careful of an invention promotion firm that offers to review or evaluate your invention but refuses to disclose details concerning its criteria, system of review, and qualifications of company evaluators. Without this information, you cannot assess the competence of the firm or make meaningful comparisons with other firms. Reputable firms should provide you with an objective evaluation of the merit, technical feasibility, and commercial viability of your invention.
Require the firm to check on existing invention patents. Because unscrupulous firms are willing to promote virtually any idea or invention with no regard to its patentability, they may unwittingly promote an idea for which someone already has a valid, unexpired patent. This could mean that even if the promotional efforts on your invention are successful, you may find yourself the subject of a patent infringement lawsuit.
If no valid, unexpired patent exists for your idea, seek advice from a patent professional before authorizing the public disclosure of your idea.
Be wary of an invention promotion firm that will not disclose its success and rejection rates. Success rates show the number of clients who made more money from their invention than they paid to the firm. Rejection rates reflect the percentage of all ideas or inventions that were found unacceptable by the invention promotion company. Check with your state and local consumer protection officials to learn if invention promotion firms are required to disclose their success and rejection rates in your locality.
In reality, few inventions make it to the marketplace and still fewer become commercial successes. According to experts used in FTC cases, an invention promotion firm that does not reject most of the inventions it reviews may be unduly optimistic, if not dishonest, in its evaluations.
Be wary of a firm that claims to have special access to manufacturers looking for new products, but refuses to document such claims. Legitimate invention promotion firms substantiate their claims, which you can check.
Be skeptical of claims and assurances that your invention will make money. No one can guarantee your invention's success. Avoid being taken in solely on a firm's promotional brochures and affiliations with impressive-sounding organizations.
Beware of high-pressure sales tactics.
Investigate the company before making any commitments. Call your Better Business Bureau, local consumer protection agency, and Attorney General in your state and the state in which the company is located to learn if they know of any unresolved consumer complaints about the firm.
Make sure your contract contains all agreed upon terms, written and verbal, before you sign. If possible, have the agreement reviewed by an attorney.
If you do not get satisfactory answers to all of your questions with an invention promotion firm, consider whether you want to sign a contract. Once a dishonest company has your money, it is unlikely you will ever get it back.

Define patent
Definition of Utility, Design, Plant, or Provisional Patents.
Most patents fall into the utility patent category. Utility patents are subdivided into mechanical, electrical and chemical categories. In general, a utility patent protects the way an invention is used and works. Utility patents may be granted to anyone who invents a new and useful method, process, machine, device invented, manufactured item, or chemical compound - or any new and useful improvement to the same. Utility literally means has purpose or useful function. Patent Application
Design:
According to USPTO patent law, a design patent is granted to any person who has invented any new and non obvious ornamental design for an article of manufacture. The design patent protects only the appearance of an article, but not its structural or functional features. In layman's term a design patent is a type of patent that covers the ornamental aspects of design. The functional aspects of an invention are covered by a utility patent. The Invention both design and utility patents may be obtained on an invention if it is new both in its utility (what makes it useful) and its appearance. The application process for a design patent are the same as those relating to other patents with a few differences. A design patent has a shorter term of 14 years, and no maintenance fees are necessary. If your design patent application passes its examination, a notice of allowance will be sent to you or your attorney or agent asking for you to pay an issue fee. The drawing for a design patent follow the same rules as other drawings, but no reference characters are allowed and the drawing (s) should clearly depict the appearance, since the drawing defines the scope of patent protection. The specification of a design patent application is brief and ordinarily follows a set form. Patent Law Patent Idea
Plant:
A plant patent is a patent issued for newly invented strains of asexually reproducing plants. Tuber propagated plants or wild uncultivated plants may not be patented. Not all countries allow plant patents. The USPTO provides for the granting of a patent to anyone who has invented or discovered and asexually reproduced any distinct and new variety of plant, including cultivated sports, mutants, hybrids, and newly found seedlings, other than a tuber-propagated plant or a plant found in an uncultivated state. Asexually propagated plants are those that are reproduced by invented means other than from seeds, such as by the rooting of cuttings, by layering, budding, grafting, inarching, etc. With reference to tuber-propagated plants, for which a plant patent cannot be obtained, the term "tuber" is used in its narrow horticultural sense as meaning a short, thickened portion of an underground branch. Such plants covered by the term "tuber-propagated" are the Irish potato and the Jerusalem artichoke. Patent Application
Definition:
A provisional patent application is a type of interim utility patent filed with the USPTO. You can file for a provisional patent without including any formal patent claims, oath or declaration, or any information disclosure (prior art) statement. The keyword in provisional patent application is "provisional". A provisional patent application only gives one year of protection. After that you must file for a non-provisional patent or abandon your patent. The USPTO created provisional patent applications as a means to establish an early effective filing date for a non-provisional patent application, which helped balance American patent law with the patent laws of other countries. It also allows the term "Patent Pending" to be used. Patent Trademark
Understanding Trademarks or Copyrights
What Is A Trademark?
Trademarks protect words, names, symbols, sounds, or colors that distinguish goods and services. Trademarks, unlike patents, can be renewed forever as long as they are being used in business. The roar of the MGM lion, the pink of the insulation made by Owens-Corning (who uses the Pink Panther in advertising by permission from its owner!), and the shape of a Coca-Cola bottle are familiar trademarks. These are brand names and identities and are important in marketing a product or service. Patent Law
Brand Name Vs Generic Name
Naming an invention involves developing at least two names. One name is the generic name. The other name is the brand name or trademark name. For example, Pepsi ® and Coke ® are brand names or trademark names; cola or soda are the generic or product names. Big Mac ® and Whopper ® are brand names or trademark names; hamburger is the generic or product name. Nike ® and Reebok ® are brand names ortrademark names; sneaker or athletic shoe are generic or product names. Patent Agent Invention Help
Primary Trademarks
The term "trademark" is often used to refer to any type of mark that can be registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or USPTO. The two primary types of marks that can be registered with the USPTO are:
* Trademarks that are used by their owners to identify goods, that is, physical commodities, which may be natural, manufactured, or produced, and which are sold or otherwise transported or distributed via interstate commerce.
* Service marks that are used by their owners to identify services, that is, intangible activities, which are performed by one person for the benefit of a person or persons other than himself, either for pay or otherwise. Patent Application
Other Types of Marks
There are other types of marks that can be registered, however, they occur infrequently and have some different requirements for registration than the more commonly applied for trademarks and service marks. Since the benefits of registration are essentially the same for all types of marks, the term "trademark" is often used in general information that applies to service marks, certification marks, and collective marks as well as to true trademarks, the marks used on invented goods. Patent Law
Using Trademark Symbols
You can use the symbols TM for trademark or SM for service mark to indicate that you are claims rights to the marks without having federal registration. However, use of the TM and SM symbols may be governed by different local, state, or foreign laws. The federal registration symbol ® can only be used after the mark is actually registered in the USPTO. Even though an application is pending, the registration symbol ®may not be used before the mark has actually become registered. Patent Agent
Can I Apply For A Registered Trademark By Myself?
Yes, and you would also be responsible for observing and complying with all the procedural issues and requirements. Trademark registration is not easy, you may need professional help. The names of attorneys who specialize in trademark law may be found in the telephone yellow pages, or by contacting a local bar association. Patent Trademark Patent Idea
Copyright or Patent?
There are three types of protection for intellectual property. Property that a person creates with their mind or intellect.
* patents protect inventions and improvements to existing inventions
* trademarks are brand names and/or designs which are applied toproducts you can sell or services that you offer
* copyright protection covers literary, artistic, and musical works.
* Examples of Copyrights
* Gone With The Wind - the book and film
* System of A Down - the band's recordings and artwork
* Video games are all works that are copyrighted. Patent Application
Copyright Protection
Your work is under copyright protection the moment it is created and fixed in a tangible form so that it is perceptible either directly or with the aid of a machine or device. The moment you write it, paint it, or put it on the internet, your work is copyright protected.
Library of Congress
In the United States, the Library of Congress officially registers copyrights which now last for the life of the author plus 70 years. No one else can profit or copy your ideas without your permission invented during this time period.
Do I Need to Invention Register? Your works of art, music, etc, all have copyright protection with or without formal copyright registration with the Library of Congress or any other copyright office. However, copyright registration adds proof of copyright ownership and aids you in fighting copyright infringement. Copyright literally means the right to copy. Patent Law
Design
No generally-accepted definition of "design" exists[1], and the term has different connotations in different fields (see design disciplines below). Informally, "a design" (noun) refers to a plan for the construction of an object (as in architectural blueprints, circuit diagrams and sewing patterns) and "to design" (verb) refers to making this plan[2]. However, one can also design by directly constructing an object (as in pottery, cowboy coding and graphic design).More formally, design has been defined as follows.(noun) a specification of an object, manifested by an agent, intended to accomplish goals, in a particular environment, using a set of primitive components, satisfying a set of requirements, subject to constraints;(verb, transitive) to create a design, in an environment (where the designer operates)[3]Here, a "specification" can be manifested as either a plan or a finished product and "primitives" are the elements from which the design object is composed.With such a broad denotation, there is no universal language or unifying institution for designers of all disciplines. This allows for many differing philosophies and approaches toward the subject (see Philosophies and studies of design, below).The person designing is called a designer, which is also a term used for people who work professionally in one of the various design areas, usually also specifying which area is being dealt with (such as a fashion designer, concept designer or web designer). A designer’s sequence of activities is called a design process[4]. The scientific study of design is called design science [5].Designing often necessitates considering the aesthetic, functional, economic and sociopolitical dimensions of both the design object and design process. It may involve considerable research, thought, modeling, interactive adjustment, and re-design. Meanwhile, diverse kinds of objects may be designed, including clothing, graphical user interfaces, skyscrapers, corporate identities,

Camp Invention
June 25, 2010
Camp Invention inspires students
MANKATO — Notice to the United States Patent and Trademark Office: Get your pens ready.
After five days of problem-solving, creating, engineering and imagining during Camp Invention held at Mankato East High School, more than 90 elementary-age students are ready to share their creative vision with the world.
Wyatt Block, age 7, used a broken stereo to create a "Brother-inator," which he wants to use to help locate his older brother at all times. Wyant Fowlds used empty pop bottles and an old digital camera to create a machine that self-cleans his bedroom.
Errin Brudwick said she’s going to invent a contraption to get her dog to stop whining while Brianna Hoppe said she’s going to end financial hardship worldwide with a money machine.
Jenni Schwartz, who said she lost her grandfather recently to cancer, said she’s going to create a machine to keep people from getting sick. And Lizzy Reed wants to invent a machine for those, like herself, who live with diabetes.
"I want to help make people’s lives easier," she said.
Camp Invention is coordinated by Mankato Area Community Education and Recreation. The weeklong day camp wrapped up Friday with more than 90 participants in grades 1-6.
Melanie Schmidt, a coordinator of community education activities, said this year’s turnout was the highest since the camp’s inception six years ago. Founded by the National Inventors Hall of Fame, the camp is focused on building interest in science, technology and engineering at elementary ages.
According to recent numbers from the National Center for Education Statistics, the proportion of U.S. students earning medical and engineering-related college degrees is more than five percentage points below the international average. Camp Invention, Schmidt said, is among a number of initiatives undertaken by Community Education and Recreation (also Lego camps and an assortment of science camps) to boost those figures, at least locally.
During the camp, students built motorized, moving pets — using a small battery and Styrofoam — and then constructed playgrounds and houses for them to roam. They built environmentally friendly products for the inhabitants of a mythical planet and used a lemon to turn on a light bulb.
Students even attempted to build the world’s longest straw without using tape. At 44 feet, it obliterated the current record of 33, but the Guinness Book of World Records application fee costs too much to gain formal recognition. Camp counselor Aaron Frederick, who will be in 10th grade this fall, tested the straw successfully with a bottle of water and said he sent Guinness an e-mail anyway.
Joe Peterson, who was completing his third consecutive year of attending the camp, said he’s discovered something new each summer.
"It teaches you to keep your imagination," he said. "If you can’t figure something out, you need to never stop trying."

Make sure your contract contains all agreed upon terms, written and verbal, before you sign. If possible, have the agreement reviewed by an attorney.
If you do not get satisfactory answers to all of your questions with an invention promotion firm, consider whether you want to sign a contract. Once a dishonest company has your money, it is unlikely you will ever get it back.

Define patent
Definition of Utility, Design, Plant, or Provisional Patents.
Most patents fall into the utility patent category. Utility patents are subdivided into mechanical, electrical and chemical categories. In general, a utility patent protects the way an invention is used and works. Utility patents may be granted to anyone who invents a new and useful method, process, machine, device invented, manufactured item, or chemical compound - or any new and useful improvement to the same. Utility literally means has purpose or useful function. Patent Application
Design:
According to USPTO patent law, a design patent is granted to any person who has invented any new and non obvious ornamental design for an article of manufacture. The design patent protects only the appearance of an article, but not its structural or functional features. In layman's term a design patent is a type of patent that covers the ornamental aspects of design. The functional aspects of an invention are covered by a utility patent. The Invention both design and utility patents may be obtained on an invention if it is new both in its utility (what makes it useful) and its appearance. The application process for a design patent are the same as those relating to other patents with a few differences. A design patent has a shorter term of 14 years, and no maintenance fees are necessary. If your design patent application passes its examination, a notice of allowance will be sent to you or your attorney or agent asking for you to pay an issue fee. The drawing for a design patent follow the same rules as other drawings, but no reference characters are allowed and the drawing (s) should clearly depict the appearance, since the drawing defines the scope of patent protection. The specification of a design patent application is brief and ordinarily follows a set form. Patent Law Patent Idea
Plant:
A plant patent is a patent issued for newly invented strains of asexually reproducing plants. Tuber propagated plants or wild uncultivated plants may not be patented. Not all countries allow plant patents. The USPTO provides for the granting of a patent to anyone who has invented or discovered and asexually reproduced any distinct and new variety of plant, including cultivated sports, mutants, hybrids, and newly found seedlings, other than a tuber-propagated plant or a plant found in an uncultivated state. Asexually propagated plants are those that are reproduced by invented means other than from seeds, such as by the rooting of cuttings, by layering, budding, grafting, inarching, etc. With reference to tuber-propagated plants, for which a plant patent cannot be obtained, the term "tuber" is used in its narrow horticultural sense as meaning a short, thickened portion of an underground branch. Such plants covered by the term "tuber-propagated" are the Irish potato and the Jerusalem artichoke. Patent Application
Definition:
A provisional patent application is a type of interim utility patent filed with the USPTO. You can file for a provisional patent without including any formal patent claims, oath or declaration, or any information disclosure (prior art) statement. The keyword in provisional patent application is "provisional". A provisional patent application only gives one year of protection. After that you must file for a non-provisional patent or abandon your patent. The USPTO created provisional patent applications as a means to establish an early effective filing date for a non-provisional patent application, which helped balance American patent law with the patent laws of other countries. It also allows the term "Patent Pending" to be used. Patent Trademark
Understanding Trademarks or Copyrights
What Is A Trademark?
Trademarks protect words, names, symbols, sounds, or colors that distinguish goods and services. Trademarks, unlike patents, can be renewed forever as long as they are being used in business. The roar of the MGM lion, the pink of the insulation made by Owens-Corning (who uses the Pink Panther in advertising by permission from its owner!), and the shape of a Coca-Cola bottle are familiar trademarks. These are brand names and identities and are important in marketing a product or service. Patent Law
Brand Name Vs Generic Name
Naming an invention involves developing at least two names. One name is the generic name. The other name is the brand name or trademark name. For example, Pepsi ® and Coke ® are brand names or trademark names; cola or soda are the generic or product names. Big Mac ® and Whopper ® are brand names or trademark names; hamburger is the generic or product name. Nike ® and Reebok ® are brand names ortrademark names; sneaker or athletic shoe are generic or product names. Patent Agent Invention Help
Primary Trademarks
The term "trademark" is often used to refer to any type of mark that can be registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or USPTO. The two primary types of marks that can be registered with the USPTO are:
* Trademarks that are used by their owners to identify goods, that is, physical commodities, which may be natural, manufactured, or produced, and which are sold or otherwise transported or distributed via interstate commerce.
* Service marks that are used by their owners to identify services, that is, intangible activities, which are performed by one person for the benefit of a person or persons other than himself, either for pay or otherwise. Patent Application
Other Types of Marks
There are other types of marks that can be registered, however, they occur infrequently and have some different requirements for registration than the more commonly applied for trademarks and service marks. Since the benefits of registration are essentially the same for all types of marks, the term "trademark" is often used in general information that applies to service marks, certification marks, and collective marks as well as to true trademarks, the marks used on invented goods. Patent Law
Using Trademark Symbols
You can use the symbols TM for trademark or SM for service mark to indicate that you are claims rights to the marks without having federal registration. However, use of the TM and SM symbols may be governed by different local, state, or foreign laws. The federal registration symbol ® can only be used after the mark is actually registered in the USPTO. Even though an application is pending, the registration symbol ®may not be used before the mark has actually become registered. Patent Agent
Can I Apply For A Registered Trademark By Myself?
Yes, and you would also be responsible for observing and complying with all the procedural issues and requirements. Trademark registration is not easy, you may need professional help. The names of attorneys who specialize in trademark law may be found in the telephone yellow pages, or by contacting a local bar association. Patent Trademark Patent Idea
Copyright or Patent?
There are three types of protection for intellectual property. Property that a person creates with their mind or intellect.
* patents protect inventions and improvements to existing inventions
* trademarks are brand names and/or designs which are applied toproducts you can sell or services that you offer
* copyright protection covers literary, artistic, and musical works.
* Examples of Copyrights
* Gone With The Wind - the book and film
* System of A Down - the band's recordings and artwork
* Video games are all works that are copyrighted. Patent Application
Copyright Protection
Your work is under copyright protection the moment it is created and fixed in a tangible form so that it is perceptible either directly or with the aid of a machine or device. The moment you write it, paint it, or put it on the internet, your work is copyright protected.
Library of Congress
In the United States, the Library of Congress officially registers copyrights which now last for the life of the author plus 70 years. No one else can profit or copy your ideas without your permission invented during this time period.
Do I Need to Invention Register? Your works of art, music, etc, all have copyright protection with or without formal copyright registration with the Library of Congress or any other copyright office. However, copyright registration adds proof of copyright ownership and aids you in fighting copyright infringement. Copyright literally means the right to copy. Patent Law
Design
No generally-accepted definition of "design" exists[1], and the term has different connotations in different fields (see design disciplines below). Informally, "a design" (noun) refers to a plan for the construction of an object (as in architectural blueprints, circuit diagrams and sewing patterns) and "to design" (verb) refers to making this plan[2]. However, one can also design by directly constructing an object (as in pottery, cowboy coding and graphic design).More formally, design has been defined as follows.(noun) a specification of an object, manifested by an agent, intended to accomplish goals, in a particular environment, using a set of primitive components, satisfying a set of requirements, subject to constraints;(verb, transitive) to create a design, in an environment (where the designer operates)[3]Here, a "specification" can be manifested as either a plan or a finished product and "primitives" are the elements from which the design object is composed.With such a broad denotation, there is no universal language or unifying institution for designers of all disciplines. This allows for many differing philosophies and approaches toward the subject (see Philosophies and studies of design, below).The person designing is called a designer, which is also a term used for people who work professionally in one of the various design areas, usually also specifying which area is being dealt with (such as a fashion designer, concept designer or web designer). A designer’s sequence of activities is called a design process[4]. The scientific study of design is called design science [5].Designing often necessitates considering the aesthetic, functional, economic and sociopolitical dimensions of both the design object and design process. It may involve considerable research, thought, modeling, interactive adjustment, and re-design. Meanwhile, diverse kinds of objects may be designed, including clothing, graphical user interfaces, skyscrapers, corporate identities,
Designer

Development
Development prototype
Phase 1: Conceive (as per wikipedia)
Imagine, specify, plan, innovate
The first stage in idea is the definition of its requirements based on customer, company, market and regulatory bodies’ viewpoints. From this specification of the products major technical parameters can be defined. Parallel to the requirements specification the initial product together with its main functional aspects. For the Industrial Design, Styling, work many different media are used from pencil and paper, clay models to 3D CAID Computer-aided industrial design software.
Phase 2: Design
Describe, define, develop, test, analyze and validate Design and development of the product’s form starts, progressing to prototype testing, through pilot release to full product launch. It can also involve redesign and ramp for improvement to existing products as well as planned obsolescence. The main tool used for design and development is CAD Computer-aided design. This can be simple 2D Drawing / Drafting or 3D Parametric Feature Based Solid/Surface Modeling. Such software includes technology such as Hybrid Modeling, Reverse Engineering Assembly construction.
This step covers many engineering disciplines including: Mechanical, Electrical, Electronic, Software, and domain-specific, such as Architectural, Aerospace, Automotive, Along with the actual creation of geometry there is the analysis of the components and product assemblies. Simulation, validation and optimization tasks are carried out using CAE (Computer-aided engineering) software either integrated in the CAD package or stand-alone. These are used to perform tasks such as:- Stress analysis, FEA (Finite Element Analysis); Kinematics Computational fluid dynamics (CFD); and mechanical event simulation (MES). CAQ (Computer-aided quality) is used for tasks such as Dimensional Tolerance (engineering) Analysis. Another task performed at this stage is the sourcing of bought out components, possibly with the aid of Procurement systems.Phase 3: Realize
Manufacture, make, build, procure, produce, sell and deliver
Once the design of the product’s components is complete the method of manufacturing is defined. This includes CAD tasks such as tool design; creation of CNC Machining instructions for the product’s parts as well as tools to manufacture those parts, using integrated or separate CAM Computer-aided manufacturing software. This will also involve analysis tools for process simulation for operations such as casting, molding, and die press forming. Once the manufacturing method has been identified CPM comes into play. This involves CAPE (Computer-aided Production Engineering) or CAP/CAPP – (Production Planning) tools for carrying out Factory, Plant and Facility Layout and Production Simulation. For example: Press-Line Simulation; and Industrial Ergonomics; as well as tool selection management. Once components are manufactured their geometrical form and size can be checked against the original CAD data with the use of Computer Aided Inspection equipment and software. Parallel to the engineering tasks, sales product configuration and marketing documentation work will be taking place. This could include transferring engineering data (geometry and part list data) to a web based sales configurator and other Desktop Publishing systems.Phase 4: Service
Use, operate, maintain, support, sustain, phase-out, retire, recycle and disposal. The final phase of the lifecycle involves managing of in service information. Providing customers and service engineers with support information for repair and maintenance, as well as waste management recycling information. This involves using such tools as Maintenance, Repair and Operations Management software.
Development Process
Our development process is quite simple. After you have uploaded your design concepts and made your initial payment you will receive your initial composition within 24 hours. Your initial design composition is a 3d model of your personal design and the core of your 3d graphics package. Your 3d model is sent in a fully interactive3d pdf email for you to make revisions and resubmit to continue the development process. Patent Lawyer Invention Help
Product Development
Product Development (Invention Development) is the complete process of bringing a new product or service to market. There are many processes included product development including idea generation, product design, detail engineering, market research and marketing analysis. Companies typically see Product Development (Invention Development) as the first stage in generating and commercializing new products invented within the overall strategic process of Product Lifecycle Management used to maintain or grow their market share.

Engineering
Mechanical Engineering is an engineering category that involves the application of principles of physics for design, analysis, manufacturing and maintenance of mechanical processes. It requires an educated understanding of key concepts including kinematics, mechanics, thermodynamics and energy. Mechanical engineers use these quantifiable and qualitative principles in the design and analysis of aircraft, heating & cooling systems, watercraft, motor vehicles, manufacturing plants, industrial equipment and machinery, medical devices invented and more. Patent Trademark Provisional Patent Invention Help
Invention Manufacturing
Manufacturing can be categorized as an industry that makes products from raw materials by the using of manual labor and/or machinery. Manufacturing articulates the fabrication or assembly of parts into finished products on a fairly large scale. The most common manufacturing industries include production of aircraft, automobiles, consumer electronics, chemicals, clothing, computers, heavy machinery, refined petroleum products, ships, electrical equipment, furniture, steel, and tools and dies.
Manufacturing is categorized based on industries and can be described dependent on the production of the specific parts or assemblies relative to each category. Some manufacturing processes include the automotive industry; aerospace industry; ship construction; chemical industry; soap and detergent; industrial polymers, major; mineral deposit; textile; dye; pharmaceutical industry; explosive; plastic; man-made fiber; surface coating; adhesive; papermaking; building construction; clothing and footwear industry; floor coverings; furniture industry; electronics; food preservation; industrial ceramics; industrial glass; printing.

Interest in obtaining licensing for your Invention?
The purpose of licensing is to grant another individual, company or corporation the right to use your intellectual property for a specific amount of time and for a specific purpose. The specifics are outlined in the terms of the agreement. A licensor may grant licensing under "intellectual property" to do something (such as copy software or use a patented invention) without fear of a claim of intellectual property infringement brought by the licensor. A license under intellectual property usually has several parts including a term, territory, renewal, invented as well as other limitations deemed vital to the licensor and licensee. Many licenses are valid for a particular length of time protecting the licensor should the value of a licensing agreement increase, or market conditions change. Patent Agent

Invention advice
As per about.com: Get educated in the whole process of how invention submission works for new inventions. Learn basic lessons on how to potentially turn new ideas into money-making new inventions.
Guides for Beginners on New Inventions Intellectual property can be tough to understand. Understand the basics first - the what does that mean questions - and the rest will follow.
One of the most common questions that a newbie inventor has to ask is,
What do I need? Do I need a patent, trademark, or copyright?
These are the three different types of what is called intellectual property. These are products that come from the creative mind. Intellectual property is imagination made real. Intellectual property is an asset just like your home, your car, or your bank account and there are ways to protect and profit from intellectual property by using a patent, trademark, or copyright. Patent Law
Intellectual Property - Patent
Utility, design, or plant patents protect inventions and improvements to existing inventions. Invention of must be "things that have purpose" and not ideas or names. For example, I would patent my invention of an improved car tire that never goes flat. Patent Attorney Patent Idea
Intellectual Property - Trademark
Trademarks are words, names, symbols, devices and images that represent products, goods, or services. Trademarks identify and promote different brands or services. For example, I would trademark register the service name of my catering business, Quickie Caterers. Also, I would trademark register the brand name of a cookie that I manufacture and sell invented, Fluffy Not Stuffy Cookies. Patent Attorney Invention Help
Intellectual Property - Copyright
Copyrights protect the expression of ideas in literary, artistic and musical works. For example, I would copyright register all the books and articles that I have written. A patent idea is only as good as it's inventor. Also, I would copyright register all the paintings that I have painted. Patent Attorney Provisional Patent
Can I Combine Intellectual Property Types?
You can use all three types of intellectual property protection together if necessary. For example, I would patent my invention of an improved car tire, a car tire that never goes flat. I would also trademark register the brand name of my invention, the Tireless Tire. I would copyright register the instruction manual that I wrote that explains how to take care of a Tireless Tire. Patent Application

Will I Need to Hire an Intellectual Property Lawyer?
Filing a patent application is very hard and complex. Filing a trademark application is not easy. Filing for copyright protection is the easiest. Patent offices will not assist you in the preparation of applications, however, they do provide you with some instruction and guides. If you are ready conduct any intellectual property activity as a beginner you are strongly advised to contact a registered patent attorney or agent. Patent Idea
How do I Finance and/or Market my Ideas?
The Small Business Administration or SBA provides excellent information on starting, planning, marketing, obtaining venture capital and financing a small business. The SBA also provides training and counseling.Patent ApplicationAlso see -Funding - Obtaining government grants, small business loans, invented scholarships and other programs to fund your ideas. Patent Idea The Invention
Be a Smart Consumer
Before doing business with promoters and invention promotion firms, you should check on their reputation before making any commitments. It's best to be wary of any invention promotion firm that promises too much and/or costs too much. Many inventors pay thousands of dollars to firms that promise to evaluate, develop, patent, and market inventions and then do little or nothing for their fees. Patent Application Patent Lawyer
Avoid a Financial Disaster
If all you have is an idea, don't ever take the easy way out and think a company or individual is going to do everything for you. Many of these companies are not the real deal. Avoid getting ripped off. Patent Agent
Invention application
Invention camp
Invention assessment
Purpose of an Invention Assessment
Getting an invention assessment serves two main purposes: one, you find out if it is worthwhile to put more money into a certain idea and two, when you are trying to raise venture capital, sell or license your ideas, you will be ready with the hard facts that can impress a potential investor or buyer. Only a tiny percentage of patents ever make a profit and it is better for the independent inventor to understand that fact and act upon it. You are a very creative person by nature, maybe one idea does will not work out but another one might. In a very competitive market, you need to be able to objectively decide if your new invention will be able to do all of the following: Patent Trademark
* Can fulfill a consumer's needs or desires.
* Can be manufactured and sold at the right price, sold at no more than five times what it costs to make.
* Can be delivered to market, a way to distribute your product is in place and the market opportunity is established.
* Can pass safety, legal, environmental and performance expectations or standards A patent idea is only as good as it's inventor. Patent Lawyer
If your new invention cannot pass all of the above criteria and your intention is to make money, you would be better off moving on to your next idea. It is an excellent idea to evaluate your new invention early in the development stage. You can start with your own opinion and that of close friends, but it is unlikely that you or your friends have an objective opinion or the research ability to understand and determine if your new invention can meet the above criteria. Patent Application
Use Caution Before Hiring the Wrong People for an Invention Assessment
Many invention promotion firms offer invention or market evaluations, but they cannot give you an objective opinion since they have a stake in the fees they are going to charge you for their services. If you have not done so already please read Invention Promotion Firms & Avoiding Scams and How To Avoid An Invention Company Scam. These companies fail to tell you that only a small percentage of new inventions make money. They charge you an arm and a leg to patent and market your invention of and they do not want you to think your invention could possible fail. Patent Law
Use a Confidentiality Agreement
Before hiring anyone to make an invention assessment for you, you must first sign a non-disclosure agreement if you have no patent protection. A non-disclosure agreement (also known as a Confidentiality Agreement) is used when someone with an unpatented idea shows it to another party, and wants that party to maintain as confidential any information invented.

Invention designer
A invention designer is a person who designs something new. If you've created a new invention chances are you are a designer. Regardless of whether you have developed your idea or not, you have the designing mind. As well as amateur designers, there are many professional designers. To be a professional invented designer requires study to degree level, work experience or specialized training. Working as an invention designer usually implies being creative in a particular area of expertise. Designers are usually responsible for developing the concept and making drawings or models for something new that will be made by someone else. Their concepts take into account not only how something will look, but also how it will be used and how it will be manufactured. There can be great differences between the working styles and principles of invention designers in different arenas. Patent Trademark Invention Help
