When evaluating a new invention idea, consider your target market, cost, and distribution methods. Over 95 percent of patents never generate any profit for the inventor. First, research the market to find out which products are in demand, and consider whether the product can be manufactured and distributed at a cost that will be competitive. You should also compare the costs of the product to similar products. Once you have found the right market for your product, you'll have a better idea of whether it will be profitable.

new invention ideas

Invention ideas can come from anywhere. You could be a busy professional commuting home on the bus or an expectant mother in your home. It could even be as simple as an idea you had while waiting in the airport security line. After all, we all have the same basic problems, but there's always room for improvement. Here are some ways to come up with a novel solution. Let us look at some of the most common ways to get inspiration from everyday life.

One idea for a new invention is to modify an existing product. One example is a retractable screen. This device could be used in hospitals. One inventor got inspiration from rolled curtains and roller banners. He took those ideas and incorporated them into his design. There wasn't any one specific solution that worked for him, but he still got the idea. Then he created a prototype. Then he sold it to a company.

Your idea for invention has already spawned a few competing ideas. But there is more to your idea than just one possible use for it. Sometimes it is possible to find hidden potential in your idea, and you might be surprised to discover how many other uses it could have. The best way to find out is to explore the various possibilities that your idea can fulfill. After all, who knows, it might just be your next great invention. Here are a few of them:

Write down your idea. It is imperative that you document your invention idea before you can submit it for patenting. If you merely mail your idea to yourself, it will serve as an inferior patent, and it will be nearly impossible for anyone to prove that you had the idea firsthand. So, write down your idea, as soon as possible. Make sure to include every detail, from how it was originally conceived to how it works and what steps you need to take to develop and produce it.
