-
details below
Questions to ask yourself:
-
why did you bother innovating?
-
do you want to profit from it?
-
does the innovation have value?
-
does it have a potential spot in the market?
An innovation with value and a
potential spot on the mark is a profit candidate, but candidate only, not a
certain contender.
Established businesses - can
upgrade their current lines with exclusive products and/or services, and
facilitate finding the working capital, if the innovation has patent protection.
Other than established
businesses – it isn’t easy, particularly without product development experience,
without available trade lines and often without a good handle on value and
market-potential realities.
Patent thresholds – must be new
and nonobvious given what is known (known includes far more than what you see
out there) and then must be aptly patented.
Finding capital and/or partners
is near impossible without the means to protect your market, and that the means
is decent patent protection.
