The Initial Consultation
Once you are satisfied your IP will not be violated and have chosen a consultation method that is agreeable to you one of our Senior Design Engineers will get in touch to discuss your idea and requirements. He or she will also help you understand the value we bring to the process and lay the groundwork for the next step.
We Provide a Quote
Based upon what we learn during our preliminary discussions with you, we then draw up a project proposal that includes our proposed budget and the estimated time it will take to complete the various stages of development.
Project Commencement
Once all parties have signed off on the project agreement we bring our team together for a formal project launch meeting that signals the start of the development process. From there you can expect things to unfold as laid out in the project timeline.
The Design & Development Process
Prototyping: No product can be brought to market without first developing prototypes. These functional maquettes serve a valuable role as real-world platforms for testing and proving the concept.
Design Protection: Your idea is everything. We understand that to our core. As a result, we work closely with a team of trusted Chartered Patent Attorneys to ensure your IP is protected at every stage.
Manufacturing: Once the design is finalised we create detailed specs, find reliable sources for materials and parts, obtain quotations and advise you on selecting the right manufacturer.
Product Testing: We work closely with testing facilities to ensure your product gains all necessary certifications and passes regulatory muster.
Broad-based experience: Over the past 15 years we have helped scores of businesses and individuals design, develop and patent successful products.
Unparalleled expertise: Our product designers come from a variety of backgrounds but together they meld into a single creative entity possessing vast expertise.
Trusted partners: The Chartered Patent Attorneys we work with are rigorously vetted to ensure the integrity of our client’s Intellectual Property (IP) is never in danger.
Dedication and commitment: Product development is a process rife with potential risks. Because of this, the understanding of our clients underlies all of our actions.
