How to find someone to create a prototype for your invention?

I suggest you find a person in the field that you have your product in (electronics, computer software, culinary, garden tools, et.) and contact them and suggest that they invest.

Go to www.inventconnect.com.au and join the website... Register or list your idea on there and ask them through their FAQ section... There is heaps of info regarding patents and other stuff in the inventors resources area...\n\nThere are lists and contact details for patent attorneys as well...

first off you need a prototype, a tangible EXAMPLE of the product you plan to sell, this is no easy task, you'll have to get some funding to pay a place that has the ability to make whatever it is you are selling, depeninding on how complex the "idea" is this can costs a lot of money\n\nthen once the example is made, you pitch it or sell it to someone at sears, macy's whoever\n\nyou could try to sell the idea to one of the major retailers first and see if they'd fund the prototype, but you'd need a connection to someone at one of those companies and a really really good idea

Tell me what the product is. No I am just kidding. First write down the complete details of your idea, seal it in an envelope, go to your local post office and send the package back to yourself as a certified letter, and most importantly don't open this envelope ever. store it someplace safe. This establishes a timeline for your idea. Then begin your search at www.uspto.gov. there are a lot of website that offer complete patent search capabilities but you want to go directly to the source. Further this site will direct you to other resources that will help you secure your patent quickly and easily.

You should consult with a "Patent Attorney" to properly protect your invention, establish priority (document that you are the first inventor), have a patent search performed (usually by specialists) to prove novelty and to prepare a patent application in the correct form.  Bar Associations can give you lists of patent attorneys (near you?).  You should avoid disclosing your invention (except to a disinterested witness who can testify that they inderstand the invention and the date they witnessed it and sign and date a sketch, etc.) to the public because it may enter the public domain and you could lose all rights to it.  Often, you have only one year to apply for a patent once it is publically disclosed.  Good luck.

Oh, man, tomorrow!? I have not ideas for an invention (actually, I'm working on something, but don't' want to share because it does not have a patent yet).\n\n Ask your parents for help. Can you ask your teacher for an extension on the project? \nThink of some problems (besides this one) and how you can solve that problem. Does it have to be realistic, or can it be futuristic?  \n\nGoogle "inventions".  Maybe you'll get some ideas.

from personal experience-DO NOT I repeat DO NOT send your idea to one of those "help you patent" outfits- I did, and didn't have the money to follow through with a patent on my own- now a major company is making a knock off of my invention! if your idea is something totally new, then you need to figure out how to develop it your own- learn how to build it so you can see if it's a really valid idea. if an improvement to something that already exists you may be able to patent "improvement to prior art"- either way a good place to start is:\n\nhttp://www.uspto.gov/patft/index.html\n\nlook to see if anything already exists like your idea, and if not then start development!

you can get someone to design one for you [a professional  company] or you can design some for free. check out the links below.

Get a patent on it first. If you send the idea to a developer or a car manufacturer they will blow you off and steal your idea.

Sourceforge is a good resource for public projects like this, although you typically need to have something to start with.\n\nAlso, I have a random idea...why don't you start a website for posting new ideas online?

Create something unique and then follow the process.  Look it up on line...ie: search "how to register a trade mark"...

You need a prototype or demo. \n\nDepending on the specifics, a patent may be a huge waste of time and money. \n\nIf you don't have money, you need a partner or licensee. Ideally a company who's already in that business or selling to those cusotmers who would buy your thing.  \n\nYou will need a lawyer. The specialty is called "intellectual property"\n\nYou will have to work hard and be persistent; there are plenty of people like you who think they have the better mousetrap but have no money. You will hear a lot of no's.\n\nIf I may suggest: "marketing" is more critical to your success than "designing" or "making"

First off, DON'T TELL ANYONE WHAT IT IS (for sure on here) as someone can run and patent this idea first if it is truely marketable. (OK, you've done that...good)\n\nCheck out this federal website and do a search for your item.  \n\nhttp://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/pac/design/toc.html\n\nDon't go to a manufacturer until you have a patent secured, or make sure you have the manufacturer sign a "non disclosure" and have it notarized.  \n\nThat way if they try to market/patent your item and claim it as there's, you have the non disclosure (and even that is not secure this day and age (look at eBay, Blackberry and so forth)\n\nContact a patent attorney (if you can dish the funds) if you truely believe this item is marketable as to how you approach a manufacturer as to a proto-type.\n\n\nGOOD LUCK TO YA!!

You should first do a free search at the US Patent and Trademark office website.\n\nSearch for keywords and find it.\nhttp://patft.uspto.gov/netahtml/search-adv.htm\n\nThe European Patent Office covers many countries. It is at\nhttp://www.european-patent-office.org\nand also has free search capabilities.\n\nHowever! Thorough patent searches are often done by specialized Patent Searchers.  They are most always highly credentialed in specific areas of technology.  If you just file at the USPTO they'll charge you around $500 for the patent search.  But, history proves that if your idea is good, somebody will take an interest during the period your invention is open to public inspection. Many patents have been quashed during this period cuz someone does a more thorough search than the USPTO patent examiners.  Worse yet, they let your patent get approved, then they watch how your product faires in the marketplace.  If it does well then they conduct a thorough search and kill your patent, costing you plenty.  Why?  Cuz they can rewrite the patent and file their own, taking your idea. Even if they cant file their own patent, at least they can kill yours and sell your idea unhindered by patents. Do a 'patent search' on google or yahoo.  You might want to get a thorough search up front.

If your "idea" is an invention, you should be aware that once you disclose it to the public you may have only one year to apply for a patent to protect it.  That said, you can commit the idea, for example on a sketch, and have any disinterested person (non-relative?) sign and date your sketch as long as they understand it and testify for you (if necessary) the date of your priority (were you the first inventor?).  Some people with a good idea never obtain a patent.  For example if you designed a clever new handle for a fishing knife, you could arrange for its manufacture and if offered at a reasonable price (perhaps through catalogs) few if any would bother to compete if you already have the market tied up.  Good luck.

3-steps:\n\n1) Patent you idea (after searching for other similar patents and making sure your idea is original).  This is not too expensive to do.\n\n2) Contact a major corporation who plays in the area of your idea/invention, to partner with them (they will typically (caveat) not steal your idea like some smaller companies may).\n\n3) Have the major corporation make the investment in product development by negotiating a contract for royalties on any sales of the final product, plus prohibition on selling the idea to any third party.\n\nYou're in business!!  Cheers!
