Product Design & Patent Support – From Idea to Market
Innovative Product Design with Patent Protection in Mind
At I1 Product Design, we are passionate about helping inventors transform their innovative ideas into successful products. Our comprehensive invention design and development services guide you through every stage of the process, ensuring that your vision is realised and your invention is ready for the market.
Why Patent-Focused Product Design Matters
A well-designed product isn’t just functional and appealing—it should also be patentable. Our expert product designers work closely with inventors to ensure their designs meet patent criteria while optimising for manufacturing and marketability.
By integrating patenting strategies into our product development process, we help inventors secure their intellectual property while refining their product for success.
Our Invention Development Process
1. Idea Evaluation
We start by assessing the feasibility and potential of your invention idea. Our team conducts market research and analysis to evaluate the viability of your concept and identify opportunities for success.
2. Concept Development
Once we understand your vision, we work closely with you to develop the concept. This includes:
-
Sketching and Ideation: We brainstorm and sketch initial ideas to visualise your concept.
-
3D CAD Modelling: Our team creates detailed 3D models to refine your design and ensure it meets your specifications.
3. Prototyping
Creating a functional prototype is crucial to validating your invention. We utilise advanced prototyping techniques to develop a working model of your product:
-
Rapid Prototyping: We use state-of-the-art technology to produce prototypes quickly and efficiently, allowing for immediate testing and feedback.
-
User Testing: Our prototypes are tested with real users to gather feedback and make necessary improvements before finalising the design.
4. Patent Protection
Protecting your intellectual property is vital. Our patent assistance services guide you through the patent process, ensuring that your invention is safeguarded:
-
Patent Research: We conduct thorough searches to assess the novelty of your invention and its potential for patentability.
-
Application Preparation: Our team prepares the necessary documentation for filing a patent, ensuring compliance with all legal requirements.
5. Market Readiness
Once your invention is designed and patented, we assist you in preparing for market entry:
Manufacturing Support: We help identify and connect with manufacturing partners to bring your product to life.
Go-to-Market Strategy: Our team develops a comprehensive market entry plan to ensure your product reaches the right audience effectively.

Why you need Product design and Development for your invention
You need commercial product design because manufacturers, buyers and investors are not interested in ideas, concepts or visuals. Only meticulously developed and well-designed proposals.
Only by conducting in-depth and comprehensive market research to identify market needs, demands, and requirements can commercial design and developments take place that achieves the standard necessary for success.
There are approximately 20,000 professional and highly skilled product designers in the UK, who stretch the margins of inventiveness, design and creativity, and are active in commercialising their creations.
If no commercial design and development takes place, you are asking the licensee / buyer to undertake this work - and they are simply not going to do that. Particularly when there’s no shortage of fully developed projects to consider.
Whatever your marketing strategy, to explore pursue and conquer all the marketing opportunities, you need market-ready (fully brand packaged) samples to successfully market your invention.
Design and developments create the iterations to test and validate, which leads to the identification of the perfect technical specification that market-ready samples are produced from.

How i1 Product Design can help you commercially design and develop your New Product Invention Idea and patent
Utilising expertise, technology and proven methodologies... we will convert your new product idea invention into a commercial focused product that meets industry standards, needs and demands.
Undertaking intelligent market research, we will gain vital market, buyer and user insights, needs and demands to identify the opportunities and focus the design and development path.
Visualising your concept in a variety of sketch and physical formats, we will undertake rapid iterations and produce provisional CAD models to test, validate and gain market feedback.
Advancing the design, we will apply value engineering, aesthetics, ergonomics, optimise and fine tune, and formulate the provisional manufacturing and assembly specifications to test and validate.
After fine tuning, we will produce the production and assembly specification, formulate the financial costings, production - supply pipeline, core competencies and RFQ documentation.
Advancing towards production, we will liaise with manufacturers and suppliers to ensure exacting standards are met and establish the quality control system for on-going production.
