I have an invention idea
07-09-2014, 06:30 PM
I have a great idea for an invention, but don't really know how to go about making it a reality. Its nothing life changing, but I know there would be a market for it. I just need some advice on start up, plastic molding and copyright.
I don't wanna go into too much detail yet about what it is, but if it takes off anyone who helps will get one!
Thanks.

You need a patent, not copyright, assuming your invention is a physical object.

I have a buddy Who is a wanna be inventor. It costs alot of money unless your just going to try to sell the idea. Patent research you can spend 10k easy just to find out your idea is already patented. Getting a patent a few grand. Them copyright the name as well couple hundred. Now your gonna pay thousands to get a mold or prototype made and that's just for a mold not a production run. Id say you should have at least 30k or 40k ready to drop but can easily run into the hundreds of thousands. I'm sure you've seen Sharktank and heard countless people dropping hundreds of thousands of their own money and they still don't even have a real company or sales

DO not bring it to China, they'll copy it and re-release it under their own name.

Depending on the product, you can get a sample or prototype made by 3d printing. There are a lot of companies that will do it for you. Easier and much cheaper than paying for a mold in the beginning. Having something concrete to show, whether it works or not will help to show your idea and get people/backers on board.
