Product Design Services

Step 1

Concept Workshop

A concept workshop seeks to understand the target market, user needs, and what existing solutions are currently out there. We will sit down with you to gather insights that inform the design process.

Pre-requisites

None.

Step 2

Concept Definition

Based on the insights from the concept workshop, we either generate ideas and concepts for the product, or determine if your proposed solution is fit for purpose. This stage involves brainstorming, sketching, and creating prototypes to explore different design possibilities and iterate on potential solutions.

Pre-requisites

Concept Workshop (Optional)

Step 3

Prior Art Search

For those seeking to create a unique product, a prior art search is a critical step in the intellectual property (IP) process, specifically in patent applications. It involves conducting a comprehensive search to identify existing knowledge and inventions that are similar or related to the proposed invention.

This helps solidify that the proposed solution in the concept definition stage is novel and non-obvious.

Pre-requisites

Concept Definition (Optional)

Step 4

3D Modelling & Visualisation

Prototypes are created to bring the product concepts to life and test their feasibility, usability, and functionality. Prototyping can involve using various tools and techniques, from simple mock-ups to sophisticated 3D models or digital simulations.

Pre-requisites

Concept Definition (Optional)

Prior Art Search (Optional)

Step 5

Prototype Engineering

Upon completion on the initial phase of 3D modelling, prototype engineering refines its functionality, and manufacturability. It involves translating conceptual designs and ideas from the initial phase into tangible and testable models or prototypes that closely resemble the final product.

Pre-requisites

3D Modelling (Required)

3D Visualisation (Optional)

Step 6

Patent Writing

Patent writing refers to the process of preparing a patent application, including drafting a detailed and comprehensive written description of an invention, defining the scope of protection sought through claims, and incorporating necessary supporting information. Effective patent writing requires technical expertise, legal knowledge, and attention to detail.

Our Rapid360 partner, Integrated IP provides this service.

Pre-requisites

None.

Step 7

Patent Drawings

Patent drawings, also known as patent illustrations or figures, are visual representations included in a patent application to support and enhance the written description of an invention. They play a crucial role in providing a clear and detailed understanding of the invention’s structure, features, and functionality.

Pre-requisites

3D Modelling (Optionl)

3D Visualisation (Optional)

Patent Writing (Required)

Step 8

Patent Filing

Patent filing refers to the formal process of submitting a patent application to a government authority, typically a patent office, to seek legal protection for an invention. Filing a patent is a crucial step in securing exclusive rights over the invention and establishing a priority date for the application.
