| Getting
Started With T2 Design
Product Evaluation
At T2 Design the invention development
process generally begins with a consultation in which we evaluate
your invention, conduct a preliminary U.S. patent search, assess
and attempt to correct any design problems, and determine a
strategy for bringing the product to market.
The consultation is with T2 Design President Paul Berman. Click here for resume.
The consultation provides an opportunity
for design brainstorming, and the discussion of pertinent issues
including: patenting, manufacturing, marketing strategy, project
risk, and licensing. The cost of the one hour phone consultation
is $125.00. Payment may be by check in advance, or by charging
to Visa/MasterCard over the phone.
Confidentiality
During the consultation all confidential
aspects of our discussion will be protected by a Confidential
Disclosure Agreement which T2 Design can provide. In addition,
it is generally recommended that you establish inventorship
of your idea by making a written record of it, and signing and
dating the record with an impartial witness.
Patent Searches
T2 Design conducts patent searches only with highly experienced patent searchers. The fee for a United States patentability search is $450. A combined International and United States patentability search is $625, and includes a written patentability opinion from a patent attorney or patent agent. Both types of patentability searches include samples of the closest prior art patent references.
Prototype Cost
Prototype design and construction cost
vary depending on the complexity of the product. Generally,
the consultation should provide us with enough information to
allow the preparation of a fixed price quote for the design
and construction of an invention prototype.
