Why a product must be developed
and designed before it is patented

The general idea of developing and designing a product or technological idea before registering it as a patent is necessary. Preliminary development and design are critical for many reasons:
1. Clear definition of the invention:
In-depth understanding: Developing the idea helps to deeply understand the features, advantages, and uniqueness of the invention.
Accurate description: The more clearly defined the invention, the easier it is to formulate patent claims accurately and comprehensively. Clear claims are the key to strong patent protection.

2. Identification of commercial potential:
Realistic evaluation: Developing the idea makes it possible to assess the commercial potential of the invention.
Market adaptation: It is possible to examine how the invention may fit into the existing market and what needs it may satisfy.

3.  Identify potential problems:
Avoiding surprises: The development process helps identify potential problems with the design or implementation of the invention in the early stages.
Improving the invention: These problems can be treated at an early stage, leading to improved invention and increased chances of success.

4. Stronger legal protection:
Broader claims: A detailed description of the invention allows broader patent claims to be filed, making it difficult for competitors to circumvent patent protection.

5. Preparation for submitting the application:
Efficiency: Preliminary development saves time and effort at the application stage.
Avoiding mistakes: Meticulous planning in advance prevents mistakes that may delay the process or weaken the patent.

What does the development and design process include?
  1. Planning and design: This is based on research and brainstorming as part of the orderly development process.
  2. Detailed description: Prepare a detailed description of the invention, including its components, function, and benefits.
  3. Drawings and pictures: Preparation of drawings, 3D modeling, and high-quality images to illustrate the invention.
  4. Experiments and demonstrations: Conducting experiments and demonstrations to test the feasibility, efficacy, and reliability of an invention.
  5.  Saving time and costs: A patent filing based on text and explanations together with product images allows for one complete and high-quality submission and will not result in late submissions due to countless changes for those who submitted without development and design. This, in turn, incurs high costs in other and additional submissions and consumes valuable time from the possibility of continuing the project for production, raising capital, marketing, and sales.

In conclusion, investing in the development and design of the idea before filing it for a patent is a smart and correct investment, which will allow you to increase the chances of success of your patent and ensure stronger legal protection. Also, it will greatly help in raising capital and attracting investors and will give the inventor a lot of useful information following the development.
