How to get my invention idea started ?!

[salami1212]

Well, I have a really clever idea that ive been coming up with over the last few weeks. Im not gonna say what it is but its a guaranteed winner! How do i go about selling it or whatever.. any websites? lol, sounds stupid I know but seriously, this is a quality idea!

 

[caff]

First make absolutely sure no-one else has done it. Then patent it.

 

[Usher]

You obviously need to visit the dragons den

 

[divine`]

i bet it's something useless no one will ever want/need

 

[Jokester]

Aye before you go public with it, get it patented.

Do that and then tell us, so we'll watch and see how "good" this idea is

 

[Zogger]

does it involve putting in energy and getting out twice as much?

 

[salami1212]

course not, its so simple but useful

 

[Mephisto]

What is it? Hamburger ear-muffs?

 

[unwashed potato!]

course not, its so simple but useful

then why hasn't it been done yet? although the simplest ideas can sometimes be the best yuou do have to think with the billions of people out there, why isn't the product out if of course it isn't

Its not a time delaying toaster is it?

What you set it to toast the bread 5 minutes after your alarm goes off and you put the bread in the night before?

Brilliant idea!

 

[Fuzz]

would be even better if it got the bread out of the bread bin / freezer itself.


Oh yea and the VERY first thing you need to do is Patent it.

i have a wee invention too actually... always wondered how to go about 'making' something with it!

Then patent it.

You do realise that once you apply for a patent the item is then in the public domain, and until the patent is fully legislated etc. people can copy your idea.

Get to a solicitors and speak with them, they'll know the best things to do.

Also write/draw it on paper, seal it in an envelope and get a bank to put it in a safety deposit box, with a date and receipt. This means if you ever need to defend it in court all you have to do is call up the bank and get them to supply as evidence it was copywrited before the opposition (if indeed it was).

The thing is, if everyone thought like that, then nothing would ever get invented

I know where you are coming from and it's one reason why I've never really put much thought into coming up with physical innovations. But there are infinite possibilities for inventions and watching Dragon's Den something I think "Crikey, that's really smart". One guy I remember made this device to water your plants when you were on holiday, it was cheap, came in different sizes, reliable etc and was all round a brilliant concept I thought. He blew it on the show in the end due to trying to deceive them about what he was offering (not including North American market, something like that) but I was in awe of what he'd achieved.

My mate at work invented the "idea" of the Ipod when we were teenagers..
Always a sore point when you mention it.

Another way to do it is post it to yourself via royal mail special delivery.
