My fiance and I have an idea, we have yet to master the creation and have no idea what steps we need to take in order to get this idea from our heads to consumers. We are having a hard time reading through all the business lingo and have given up several times. Please help!

Before you show the idea to investors, engineers, manufacturers, or put it online to a crowd funding website, for example, you want to get some preliminary patent protection on the idea so you can feel comfortable showing the idea to the many people who will be your support team. Our team of engineers can help you flesh out some basic uncertainties of your invention and get a preliminary patent application called a provisional application in place. Then, you can feel comfortable showing your ideas to manufacturers or other engineers who can help further develop the invention before we decide to apply for a full non-provisional patent application. We don't help you market the idea but we'll help you get the preliminary patent protection you need. Give us a call during normal business hours and one of our consultants would be happy to chat with you.
