Research
 

The InventSAI Network's philosophy is that invention ideas progress through the Idea, Research and Development Stages.

The Idea Stage is when the inspirational spark is ignited in the mind of an inventor. Some people have called this the "eureka" moment or when the "light bulb turned on. "

Next is the Research Stage, where the invention concept is thoroughly investigated in terms of legal, technical and potential marketing considerations.

When the research is complete and everything is positive, the invention progresses into the Development Stage. This stage creates and implements a plan to legally protect the invention, to produce a model and to introduce a patent pending (or patented) product to the marketplace.

Although every invention and every inventor is unique, some things are common for everyone. In regards to the Research Stage, the typical invention idea may require:


    1. Notarized Certification for Official Date of Conception
    2. a Patentability Search with Analysis and an Opinion of Patentability by a Registered Patent Practitioner
    3. a Technical Review and a Feasibility Statement by a Registered Professional Engineer
    4. a Graphic Illustration of the invention
    5. a Technical Description of the invention with a listing of the Features and Benefits; and,
    6. a General Market Overview of the invention's industrial classification.
Of course, the above research services are for an article of manufacture that would ultimately require a patent. Expressions of art and compositions of authorship would be directed towards copyright services. Trademarks, on the other hand, are used to identify names and logos of products being sold across state lines.
