- Primer on the basics of product development with objective, no-nonsense advice about the keys to success for each phase of the process.
Value of Expert Product Design
- Information-packed, two-page document with savvy insight about Common Design Mistakes and the need for Critical Design Knowledge.
- Highlights the integral skills required to design products in preparation for expensive prototyping and tooling (production), including diagrams and a case study snapshot.
- Specifies how SPARK adds value and helps reduce cost throughout the product development process.
IP Catalyst
Specifies how SPARK ignites intellectual property and optimizes the R&D process to get to a working prototype.
- Engage objective, external expertise to critically assess the IP.
- Reduce complex R&D into cost-effective, sub-development steps.
- Demonstrate IP proof first to avoid patent mis-steps, costs and delays.
- Efficiently develop IP to a working prototype before patent filing.
- Increase market success probability — quality, performance, sales, investment.
Product Invention Brief
Patent primer and common sense advice for inventors based on SPARK's pragmatic product development philosophy. We believe in enabling inventors with the knowledge and wisdom born from our years of experience. Since product invention can often be a costly and challenging endeavor, we recommend two rules of thumb:
- Fully prove out your concept during R&D and prior to patent filings.
- Rely on proven professionals and a good patent attorney.
