Need a Patent?
The first thing many people think about when they get an idea is to patent it; however, that’s rarely is the approach corporations take when developing product ideas.
Using the Davison Inventing Method, we start by developing the idea first. We do this because changes and tweaks to the product design will probably occur during the development phase.
Once the final design of the product is complete, approved, and if the product is licensed and ready to be manufactured, the licensee may consider paying for the patent application expenses.
Have a Patent?
Do you have a patent but feel like it has not taken you to the next level, or your phone is not ringing off the hook like you expected? Are you ready to talk about other steps you can take?
The next logical step is to have your patented product prepared and presented to corporations for possible licensing.
To help you move in this direction, we recommend you fill out the form below and Davison® will send you a FREE Inventor’s Guide. The guide outlines how to get started and how to schedule your FREE idea consultation.

Davison's 9-Step Experience and Idea Protection
The 9-Step process is Davison’s traditional service model. However, after 34 years of experience, Davison now offers a wide range of services for new product, app and companion app development to fit the needs of inventors. Some projects include the completion of all nine steps shown below but service offerings vary depending upon the particular project and many do not include all nine steps.
1 Idea Security Agreement
Our experience starts with the confidentiality of your idea. It is important to us to make sure that you and your idea are protected. A signed Idea Security Agreement is a legally binding document that guarantees that our team will not disclose your idea to anyone without your permission.
2 Pre-development
After we guarantee your confidentiality, pre-development is an important step in your experience. We look for similar technology, products or apps on the market and patents on similar concepts.
3 Brainstorming
Brainstorming is a critical and fundamental component of Davison’s inventing method. This process is to discover a solution to the problem being solved by the invention with an eye towards making the item cost-effective to manufacture.
4 Ideation Sketch
After we brainstorm for a cost-effective solution, our team creates an ideation sketch, which is a 2-d rendering that breathes more life into an idea. The sketches are great communication tools, and help narrow the issues that surround cost-effective manufacturing considerations before a concept model is created.
5 Concept Model
A concept model is a preliminary 3D working model based on the ideation sketch. In app development, the equivalent to a concept model is a wireframe diagram, which reflects the various types of functions and screens to be incorporated in the app. Each model serves as a gauge for functionality and ease of use for the end user. In gaining knowledge of a functioning model, changes can be noted for production and engineering.
6 Product Design
The products are designed with engineering software to create technical drawings which are used to implement Davison’s inventing method.
7 Package Design
After the packaging is designed, graphics are created to showcase functions and maximize appeal to the end customer. In the case of an app, graphics are designed for an app store sales display page.
8 Virtual 3D Rendering
After changes are noted, a virtual 3D rendering is created for our client’s approval. The 3D virtual rendering represents what the actual product sample and packaging will look like. The drawings are transferred to machines that can create the components needed to make a product sample. For apps, a similar method applies, except, the wireframe is utilized for approval before moving into the development of the final app.
9Product Sample
With a product sample created, we prepare to speak with a company about potential licensing opportunities. In the case of apps, the inventor is given access to a test version of the app for approval and then we begin the process of placing an app into the market for downloads.
Our Capabilities (We have work shops!)
Already have a patent?
Already patented your idea but not seeing results? Having a patent doesn’t guarantee success; let us guide you through the other options. Want your patented product idea to be submitted to corporations? Find manufacturing options, license to a corporation, or sell rights. But beware, success isn’t guaranteed. Talk with us for expert guidance on moving forward.
Do you need to patent your idea?
We prioritize idea development using the Davison Inventing Method, anticipating design changes. Finally, if your product is licensed, the licensee might cover the expenses of patenting your product. To get started, securely submit your idea to Davison by filling out our Idea Security Agreement.
