Why design is so important before patenting your idea

Developing a product with an industrial designer before registering a patent is an important chapter in the development and success process of a product. Here are some reasons why this is important:

   Industrial designers are skilled in many tools and understand the needs of users in every project. Industrial designers design not only functional, but also convenient and pleasant to use. This is, of course, also critical when you want to protect the product with a patent and intellectual property, to give the product uniqueness.

   Industrial designers are skilled in many abilities and can create a look and feel for the product that will give the product an advantage and trigger interest from consumers. They can ensure that the product looks modern, aesthetic, and adapted to the customer's tastes.

   Within the process of product design and development, small details can change quickly. Industrial designers know how to show great flexibility and work professionally on the go.

   Developing with an industrial designer allows you to save money on patent registration that may be required if the product was built without proper appearance features, in 3D and precise planning in a correct and complete development process. If the specific details are not defined in advance and no development process is done with a designer, the patent will have additional unnecessary costs down the road as a result.

   The industrial designer can help check the proximity of the product to the market. An industrial designer by profession is an expert in research and analysis of products and concepts. Using models, going into details, professional databases, and testing users, it is possible to examine whether the product has future feasibility even before it is built definitively.

   Working with an industrial designer allows you to plan product details in a detailed and correct way, with a future vision towards mass production. In addition, an industrial designer knows how to manage complex projects and work with a wide range of professionals, such as mechanical engineers, electronic engineers, hardware and software engineers, plastic and materials engineers, as well as with various manufacturers and sub-suppliers.

Industrial design is a leading and central factor in every development process at every stage of development and serves as the most important tool for opening a successful product in the market. It improves the usability, look, and feel of the product, allowing for market testing and quick upgrades.
