Empowering Inventors: How AON Invent Transforms Commercially Viable Ideas into Marketable Products

Bringing a novel idea to fruition is a challenging endeavor. Many inventors grapple with transforming their concepts into tangible products that resonate in the marketplace. This is where AON Invent excels, offering comprehensive support to inventors aiming to navigate the intricate journey from ideation to commercialization.

Comprehensive Support for Inventors

AON Invent stands out by providing a holistic suite of services tailored to the unique needs of each inventor. Some inventors reach out to AON Invent at the “Idea Stage,” and begin the process with a two-phase assessment of their idea. The first and most important phase is the assessment done by the inventors themselves, with the aid of AON’s time-tested innovation guide. The innovation guide is available to everyone as a free download. This simple guide has prevented thousands of inventors from wasting their life’s savings on ideas that have already been developed or patented by someone else.

Many inventors assume their idea to be original if they’ve never seen it in stores or ecom sites. While store-checks and internet searches are a great place to begin, these results are never conclusive. That’s because less than five percent of issued patents ever make it to retail.  

Recognizing that the path to market is multifaceted, AON Invent helps in all areas, including patent research, prototype development, and market analysis and product licensing. This ensures that inventors are well-equipped to make informed decisions regarding each stage of their product’s development.

Ethical Practices and Transparent Communication

In an industry where transparency is paramount, AON Invent is committed to ethical practices. From the initial consultation through to the final stages of product submission, we maintain open lines of communication. This approach ensures that inventors are consistently informed and can trust that their ideas are handled with the utmost integrity.

Bridging the Gap Between Ideas and Market Demand

Understanding market dynamics is crucial for the success of any new product. AON Invent conducts thorough market research to assess the demand and potential profitability of an invention. This data-driven approach strives to align new product concepts with current market needs, increasing the likelihood of successful commercialization.

Navigating the Patent Process

Securing intellectual property rights is a critical step in protecting an invention. AON Invent assists inventors through the complexities of the patent process, from conducting prior art searches to having our registered patent attorneys prepare and file your patent application. This helps ensure that inventors’ ideas are legally safeguarded, providing a solid foundation before presenting to the market.

Prototyping and Product Development

A tangible prototype of a concept is often essential for aiding its refinement and making presentations to prospective licensees and investors.

Marketing and Licensing Opportunities

Transitioning from a prototype to a market-ready product and filling the supply chain usually requires a substantial capital investment. These initial costs often amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars or more and must be met before the product ever generates its first dollar in sales with a major retailer. To accomplish this, AON Invent leverages its extensive network of product manufacturers and brands to license viable products within the relevant category. This approach is usually the safest and most cost-effective way to maximize upside potential, with minimal risk and out-of-pocket cost to the inventor.

Their personalized approach ensures that each inventor receives the benefit of AON Invent’s collective experience and resources necessary to navigate the complex landscape of bringing an invention to market.
