I want to patent my idea
We are often contacted by entrepreneurs and inventors wanting to patent their idea. While we are not patent attorneys, we do have an excellent network of trusted attorneys who we can point you to for expert advice. There may be simpler and cheaper ways of protecting your idea such as registering the design and of course itās important to check that no one has had the same idea as you.Ā D2M adds value to the IP process by exploring further innovation and ensuring that the design is suitable for manufacture before it is protected. Our expert team of designers will produce the drawings you need to support your patent or registered design applications once the design is finalised.Ā
