Need a Patent?

The first thing many people think about when they get an idea is to patent it; however, that’s rarely is the approach corporations take when developing product ideas.

Using the Davison Inventing Method, we start by developing the idea first. We do this because changes and tweaks to the product design will probably occur during the development phase.

Once the final design of the product is complete, approved, and if the product is licensed and ready to be manufactured, the licensee may consider paying for the patent application expenses.

Have a Patent?

Do you have a patent but feel like it has not taken you to the next level, or your phone is not ringing off the hook like you expected? Are you ready to talk about other steps you can take?

The next logical step is to have your patented product prepared and presented to corporations for possible licensing.

To help you move in this direction, we recommend you fill out the form below and Davison® will send you a FREE Inventor’s Guide. The guide outlines how to get started and how to schedule your FREE idea consultation.

Davison's 9-Step Experience and Idea Protection

The 9-Step process is Davison’s traditional service model. However, after 34 years of experience, Davison now offers a wide range of services for new product, app and companion app development to fit the needs of inventors. Some projects include the completion of all nine steps shown below but service offerings vary depending upon the particular project and many do not include all nine steps.

1 Idea Security Agreement

Our experience starts with the confidentiality of your idea. It is important to us to make sure that you and your idea are protected. A signed Idea Security Agreement is a legally binding document that guarantees that our team will not disclose your idea to anyone without your permission.

2 Pre-development

After we guarantee your confidentiality, pre-development is an important step in your experience. We look for similar technology, products or apps on the market and patents on similar concepts.

3 Brainstorming

Brainstorming is a critical and fundamental component of Davison’s inventing method. This process is to discover a solution to the problem being solved by the invention with an eye towards making the item cost-effective to manufacture.

4 Ideation Sketch

After we brainstorm for a cost-effective solution, our team creates an ideation sketch, which is a 2-d rendering that breathes more life into an idea. The sketches are great communication tools, and help narrow the issues that surround cost-effective manufacturing considerations before a concept model is created.

5 Concept Model

A concept model is a preliminary 3D working model based on the ideation sketch. In app development, the equivalent to a concept model is a wireframe diagram, which reflects the various types of functions and screens to be incorporated in the app. Each model serves as a gauge for functionality and ease of use for the end user. In gaining knowledge of a functioning model, changes can be noted for production and engineering.

6 Product Design

The products are designed with engineering software to create technical drawings which are used to implement Davison’s inventing method.

7 Package Design

After the packaging is designed, graphics are created to showcase functions and maximize appeal to the end customer. In the case of an app, graphics are designed for an app store sales display page.

8 Virtual 3D Rendering

After changes are noted, a virtual 3D rendering is created for our client’s approval. The 3D virtual rendering represents what the actual product sample and packaging will look like. The drawings are transferred to machines that can create the components needed to make a product sample. For apps, a similar method applies, except, the wireframe is utilized for approval before moving into the development of the final app.

9Product Sample

With a product sample created, we prepare to speak with a company about potential licensing opportunities. In the case of apps, the inventor is given access to a test version of the app for approval and then we begin the process of placing an app into the market for downloads.

Our Capabilities (We have work shops!)

Wood Shop

The art of woodworking started with the Egyptians and has continued to evolve over time. Thanks to modern advancements in woodworking technology and machinery, our team of experts can create simple or intricate designs which can be used to build and develop working models for prototyping and testing.

Model Shop

Our Model Shop is where invention ideas come to life! After research is completed, and designs are approved, prototypes are assembled in the Model Shop. A highly skilled team of makers, builders, and creative thinkers are hard at work inventioneering various ideas and concepts. Through the assembly line, the details of each project are carefully evaluated and joined with other elements, establishing the form and function of the product idea.

Paint Shop

Part of the essential fabric and character of every project is meticulously woven together within our dynamic workshop. Here, our dedicated artisans, akin to master craftsmen, breathe life into each creation with precision and care. From intricate designs to bold innovations, our team applies expertise and ingenuity, sculpting products that not only meet but exceed expectations.

Mold Shop

Creating molds of products provides corporations with critical information on how the manufacturing process works within their business model and production plants. Sometimes a design looks great on paper, but when a mold is created, it shows any issue that may arise during the manufacturing process and if specialty methods need to be deployed.

Metal Shop

Metalsmithing is a lost art, but not here at Davison’s Invention Factory. Our team understands the demands of the marketplace for quality and consistency, and we exercise our expertise and experience to create critical components for prototyping and testing. With a focus on technology and innovation, we use state-of-the-art equipment to ensure that our client’s products are created with the most cutting-edge functionality.

Secret Shops (Restricted Areas)

We have a whole series of shops that we cannot disclose due to trade secrets and possible theft of intellectual property. If you do come for a tour of our factory, the general public are not allowed in these secured areas of the factory. It’s important for you to know, all shops within our invention factory are restricted areas to the general public. Even the Davison staff must sign a strict confidentiality agreement when they join the team.

Already have a patent?

Already patented your idea but not seeing results? Having a patent doesn’t guarantee success; let us guide you through the other options. Want your patented product idea to be submitted to corporations? Find manufacturing options, license to a corporation, or sell rights. But beware, success isn’t guaranteed. Talk with us for expert guidance on moving forward.

Do you need to patent your idea?

We prioritize idea development using the Davison Inventing Method, anticipating design changes. Finally, if your product is licensed, the licensee might cover the expenses of patenting your product. To get started, securely submit your idea to Davison by filling out our Idea Security Agreement.
