Playground of Potential Awaits Prospective Inventors

As you’re browsing the aisles of Target, K-Mart, Walmart or other major retailers, have you ever wondered where all those fantastic, odd and oddly useful consumer gadgets come from? For inventors, whose creative minds imagine the home, office and garage products you see, these big-box stores and home shopping shows are playgrounds of potential. But, how does one get an idea out of one’s mind?

Indeed, there are many obstacles to uncover and maneuver around when pursuing an invention idea. Does your product already exist in some small market? Has someone already patented your idea, but you just weren’t aware of it? If you share your idea with friends, family or someone else, will they try to take it? Or the worst… have you taken all the steps to create your new product idea only to find out that someone has beat you to market?

Luckily, inventors are not in it alone; there is help out there. There are many companies that offer partial inventing services for aspiring inventors. Some companies may consult with inventors about their idea. Some may help design a product idea or develop an idea prototype. Some companies may even help with potentially licensing an idea, so that it makes its way to store shelves and into buyers’ hands.

One company, Davison, a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania firm, offers inventors and corporate clients a full range of product development services, from idea conception and preparation to licensing presentation. From small beginnings in 1989, Davison now occupies more than 100,000 square feet of factory and office space, including Inventionland, the company’s 61,000 square foot, cutting-edge development facility. Producing about 150 new prototypes monthly, Inventionland has been called America’s largest invention factory and is comprised of one part assembly line, one part high-tech lab and one part theme park.

Ensuring idea confidentiality, all Davison employees sign an ethics and confidentiality agreement; Davison clients claim idea ownership by signing an Idea Security Agreement before any work is done on their ideas.

Over 20 years of economical product design has allowed Davison to place products in over 1,000 retailers and garner much acclaim along the way. The company and its products have been featured in numerous media venues, including Entrepreneur, American Executive, Business Week, The Wall Street Journal, CNN Money, Fortune, Lifetime TV’s The Balancing Act, CBS’ The Early Show and many others. Most recently, The History Channel aired a reality-TV special called “Inventionland,” which followed three hopeful inventors as they pursued their ideas with the help of Davison’s team.

So, the next time you’re walking the aisles of Target, K-Mart, Walmart, Sears, Bed Bath & Beyond, Home Depot or any retailer, confidently envision your own ideas sitting atop those shelves. Better still, step onto that playground of potential and submit your idea to the experts at Davison.
