How Do You Make It Work?

Many “would-be” inventors think they have something “new, novel and non-obvious” as the Patent Office requires an invention to be in order to get a Patent, only to be stopped short and told “not so fast to the land of patents and riches.”

I have looked at more than 100,000 invention ideas in my time, and probably 30,000 times I asked the Inventor a simple question – HOW? Can you make it work my dear inventor? The confidential disclosure usually presents a most wonderful list of features and benefits along with a beautiful drawing. A first reading of the invention shows potential for a valuable new product. But wait -- there’s no enabling disclosure; in other words, there is no technical explanation as to HOW the thingamajig is made.

The “would-be” inventors know what they want, and they know how to sell it, but they can’t figure out HOW to do it. Even worse, the proposed invention often requires technology that doesn’t exist. So when asked the HOW question, the popular answers are: Answer A – use a computer chip or Answer B – run with it and I’ll give you a cut of the profits. Of course neither response answers the question. To really have an invention that can pass the Patent Office’s “new, novel and non-obvious” test, the inventor has to know HOW to make it. The HOW is very important because without a really good technical description (aka: enabling disclosure), there is no invention, only a concept. Knowing HOW separates inventor from dreamer.
