Filing and submitting a Provisional Patent Application (PPA) with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for your idea’s immediate legal protection is a smart move and should be foremost on your invention process priorities. A PPA is a legal document filed with the USPTO that will greatly help protect your invention from being copied during the 1 year period of its validity but, since it won’t mature into a Patent, a regular formal patent must still be filed. During these 12 months of the PPA’s validity, you may make good use of this time, to validate your intellectual property and commence prototyping of your idea into its virtual and physical form.

Your idea’s inventing process will undergo many phases and as a New Product Development (NPD) with over 3 decades of successful idea into new product engineering experience, we will develop your idea following incremental steps or in strategies known as Evolutionary Product Development (EPD), reducing risks and time wastage that will minimize overall costs and unnecessary expenses.
Validating your idea is mainly important because it is the process of rationally testing and methodically studying the feasibility of your idea before you start engineering, designing and developing your first product prototype. Following are main validation steps you’d definitely should undergo properly:
1. USPTO Patent Research – Remember, just because you have not heard of it, it don’t mean your idea doesn’t exist. To avoid infringing anyone else’s patent, which can land you a very expensive Patent Lawsuit, conducting a thorough Patent Research with the United States Patent and Trademark Office will free you of any risks of future legal liabilities.
2. Product Feasibility Study – It would be futile to hold a perfect end product but realizing to late that you can’t make a profit from it. Performing a feasibility study will best advise you on whether it is indeed worthwhile to turn you idea into reality. This study will also help guide your product designers and engineers on how proceed on your prototype’s design and development based on your customer trials. Make sure to ask your product testers to use your prototype to its limits.
3. How much total will it Cost to turn your idea into reality? – Before committing to funding your idea’s prototype development, it is essential and very logical to determine if your funds are enough from starting to finishing your overall inventing process. This will prevent delays on your project and ready you to look for a development or investment partner if your need to,.
.4. How Much Can You Sell? Sensibly, you would want to go through all the hassles and expenses of turning your idea into reality because you’d want to make a profit.

If your ROI will be long and unrealistic, of course this tells you to not continue your idea prototyping for it will after all, be futile.
