The most important consideration at the beginning of any project is to understand the costs to get your idea into the commercilisation stages.

Presumably this is the first time you are looking to develop your product and no doubt the process can be a little daunting to say the least.

Invention Steps developed the Invention Review to help assist you in understanding all the stages and most importantly the costs to develop your particular idea, from start to finish.

Our aim is to mentor you through the entire process and by doing so we want you to be fully informed of the costs, from start to finish, so you can make an informative decision if you wish to proceed.

Of course, our Invention Review is written in a way that ensures you understand all the costs and steps to develop your idea.

These costs and stages are industry standard giving you a perfect guideline moving forward with any design company.

The Invention Review process is a complex procedure that is written by industry experts who make up the team at Invention Steps.

This process typically takes 7-10 days but for more complex ideas this can extend to 14 days. We will update you regularly though the process.

Definitely, the aim of the Invention Review is to ensure you develop a product at the right price but also to develop a product to the highest standard using the best materials selection and most common manufacturing processes.

Our number one priority is to ensure you develop a "commercially friendly product", something that gives the wow factor and makes people want to by it.

Not only do we give you a breakdown of all the steps involved in the process (including manufacturing) we tell you how they are going to manufacture the items and what materials to use.

We keep all reviews as informative so our clients without any manufacturing experience can understand the process competely.

No it is not necessary, in fact one of the frequently asked questions is - At what stage should I patent my idea?

We cover all questions regarding patents, when to get them, how to go through the process, who to use, and much more.

Before you discuss the idea with us we sign a Privacy Agreement called a NDA which can be downloaded here.

Your ideas are reviewed with the strictest confidence in mind.

At Invention Steps we pride ourselves on helping Inventors.

If an Inventor chooses not to do a review and jump straight into the Patent and Product Development process, they often come across hurdles, which in most cases results in lack of funds.

Most companies choose not to do a 'Review' as it may point out too many cost hurdles and ultimately lose your business.

Invention Steps is here to help, not exploit inventors, and for this reason we developed the Invention Review.
