How to be Creative…?

Let’s examine….

Turning Ideas Into Innovations

Mind is the forerunner

of all Inventions

- Bugs Tan

Due to its invisibility to our naked eyes, most people are ignorant of its present.


Step 1 Start by conceptualizing an Idea

This world is not a perfect place.

There is so many things you can create to make life better.

Being observant is the starting point

Look at things around you at home, work or play.

.

Look through your eyes, conceptualize with your mind


Step 2 Check Your Idea

1. Is your idea new?2. What does your friends think abt your new idea?3. Do you think you can make a working model?4. Do you have the money for this project?5. Do you have the time to work on this project?6. Are you able to get help for this project? 7. Do you know who are your customers?8. Are you sure they will buy your product?9. Do you know the cost to mfg this product?10. Are you sure you can make a good margin?


Step 3 Raise fund for your Project

Raise fund by applying for a grant from the government, or

Use your own fund


Step 4 Make a Prototype / Working Model

• . • Create a working model to see if it

works.

• You will need to do most of the work by yourself


Step 5 Filing a Patent

Filing a patent gives you the rights over your idea for 20 years.

However, it will be a waste of

effort and money if your product cannot sell.

The first person to file a patent is the rightful owner to that idea.

You can file a patent by just having an idea


Step 6 Do a Valuation for Your Invention

It puts a price to your new invention

It’s a tool to bring potential investor to the discussion table

It allows your potential investor to understand your invention

All new technology has a price to it


Step 7 Commercialization

Route toCommercialization
