Title: advice on invention idea!!
Post by: mufcglen on November 25, 2014, 06:00:54 pm
ive got an idea for something that i think would sell fairly well for wfp users but not sure how i'd go about getting it made or where i go with my idea?
is there any guys who could give me some advice who may have designed produced and marketed something theyve thought of?

Without it's difficult to say if it's worth pursuing as we don't know what it is, you could get several people to trial it before investing big time.

Best man (possible) would be either Peter fogwill or Alex gardiner, both have developed equipment and brought it to market

Don't bother. Undoubtedly I thought of it first anyway.

lol it may be a stupid idea but its something ive been thinking about for a while and theres nothing in the market place being sold similar to it at the moment, whether this is because its not really a good idea or not who knows!!

Talk to Gardiner or Grippa and get a NDA Signed.

I'm sure that I could give you some general pointers in this regard - drop me an email on alex@agardiner.co.uk  :)

Obviously I would not want to know any specific details without a NDA being in place, but there are some principles that may help you out without the need for any specifics being discussed.

Be careful because once it's in the public domain you can no longer patent it. Only takes another windy to spot it then we can all make or use it :-)
