Step 2
Proof Prototype
Then we do a proof-of-principle prototype of it.
Basic Summary
In order to have the best chance of winning, your invention has to be designed into the absolute best version of your product concept. In many cases, this needs the help of a professional product designer.
Not only is this important in terms of making the PRODUCT as good as it can be, but it also often generates important new patentable material, potentially having huge benefits to the PATENTING of your invention.
The key thing is that the process of your product being designed into the perfect version of itself has to be done BEFORE your full non-provisional patent application is filed at the patent office, because if you file the patent application first, you may well have to then file a whole new SECOND patent application to include the product developments that happen after. At SHIINE®, we call this the dreaded ‘double-pass’ of your patenting, and it’s something to avoid if at all possible.
So this step is key not only to making your product as good as possible, but also to the patenting of your invention.
We know how to get things done in the right order to give your invention the best chance of success and make it as unlikely as possible that you’ll lose a lot of money during this process.

SERVICE AT THIS STEP
PerfectProduct™ Proof-of-Principle Prototype
In the PerfectProduct™ Prototype service, one of our professional product designers will communicate with you about your invention, and design your invention concept into the perfect version of the product.
Then they’ll prototype it, creating a prototype that tests its function and that may well improve the design even more.
How It Works
PART 1: DESIGN PHASE
1. Creating the 'Perfect' Design
2. Presenting you with the ‘Perfect’ Design
PART 2: Prototype Phase
3. Execution of the Proof-of-Principle Prototype of the Perfect Design
We then create a Proof of Principle prototype of the perfect design. The focus at this stage is on building a functional version, even if it’s not visually appealing, for functionality testing and potential design improvements. However, especially with 3D printing, the results can sometimes be extremely impressive. (Whilst this process often involves 3D printing, it ultimately depends on the product type).
A huge bonus of this process is that, in most cases, it generates new patentable material, since the ‘perfect design’ usually includes new inventive features/steps beyond the original concept, and problems encountered during the prototyping that are solved often generate important (or maybe even pivotal) new patentable matter. This is the reason we do this step BEFORE your full patent application in the next step- so that your full patent application can include these new important inventive steps and features, which could even become pivotal to your patenting.
