Reinventing the wheel? -

I have an idea of a product that I have not seen anywhere on the market I have created the product and people love it How do I stop giving it away for free and start selling it? It s an unusual product.

Before talking to anyone about it get a signed NDA (except that is for Chartered Patent Attorneys...you are covered by their charter)Firstly, make sure it is NEW (do product and patent searches)...Then make sure it WORKS (build one and test it if you haven t already). Lastly protect it:- make sure its YOURS... apply for a patent.Thats the easy bit tho ...The hard part is turning a promising idea into a product.

Go to the UK patent office and European patent office and make an application for a patent. Otherwise when you start selling it you will be out of business within months.Then approach companies who sell similar products and make a deal to manufacture and market it. Don t give up even if the companies are difficult to convince.

You need a patent.First start searching the patents databases to check that no on else as written one.Start here:http://gb.espacenet.com/search97cgi/s97_��
