The
Development Stage is the culmination of an inventive
idea and a solid foundation created in the Research
Stage. This is where a plan is developed and
implemented to complete the technical aspects,
obtain legal protection and to commercialize
the invention idea. Most inventors consider
this stage to be the most exciting, the most
frustrating, the most exhilarating and the most
time- consuming, all at the same time.
To
help understand this period in an invention's
life, consider the following analogy:
For
years a talented musician takes lessons,
practices for hours every day, purchases
higher quality instruments, performs everywhere
possible to get experience and exposure,
all in preparation for that one big break
when everything comes together at just the
right time, at just the right place and
in front of just the right person.
It's
a confirmation of the old saying:
"How
do you get to Carnegie Hall?
Practice - Practice - Practice!"
