Description
Contenu

This book is intended to be a practical guide to all those inventors, actual or would-be, those who have yet to take their first real steps toward making their new product or service dreams come true. The Wessex Round Table of Inventors (WRTI) is an inventors club based at Southampton Solent University. It exists as a mutual forum to help like-minded individuals with their inventions. This book contains articles from several of its experienced members plus other selected expert contributors. The book tries to cover the entire spectrum of the new product development or inventing cycle, from the encouragement of the earliest thoughts and ideas, through the development and prototyping phases, covering protection of your intellectual property to raising investment funding in order to make the dreams become reality – and goes right through to selling the resulting invention and bringing it to market successfully. Inventing is rarely as easy a process as many people believe – we hope that you find this book interesting and useful.
