Research and Development

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.

Inventor Tip:
Ask any cabbie in New York City how to get to Carnegie Hall, and he’ll tell you. “Practice.”

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. Similarly with invention development, the best ideas come to fruition through refining fire of testing and development.
