What should it look like, how much should it cost, who will purchase it, and most important, how does it work? Objectively compiling this information before spending the big bucks on the “new product idea” is what experienced innovators always do!

1 - How many consumers will purchase it and what will they pay for it? Yes! It’s as easy as that!

All product ideas have perceived value and that's what prospective customers will pay for, and no more!

2 - Design firms are structured to support retail businesses with their new product endeavors.  New innovators usually can’t afford large conference room luxuries.

When the ideas persist for new innovators, what to do with the ideas is challenging, and when not careful, very expensive as well!

3 - What should it look like, how much should it cost, who will purchase it, and most important, how does it work? Common sense and hard work can address all financial challenges.

All experienced innovators make time to 'belly-up' to the bench and get it done to the point where they can intelligently file a Provisional and openly get on with the exciting task!

4 - Computers don't think. New and old innovators do. Save the wonders of Computer Technology for the day you can direct it in a definitive direction.

5 - Hours of conceptual sketching and crumpled paper happened before I turned on the computer for a small engineering firm in Cambridge, Mass.

Unfortunately, computer renditions always convey a false sense of completion.  

6 - Once we know the destination of our product concepts and how they are intended to function, a Provisional Application for Patent is not difficult to prepare and submit to the U.S.P.T.O.

A pictorial and written description is necessary, enough for  a skilled craftsman to fashion one, if asked to do so by a Patent Law Judge presiding over a dispute.
