Product Evaluation Consultation At T2 Design the product development process begins with a consultation in which we evaluate your product, conduct a preliminary U.S. patent search, assess and attempt to correct any design problems, and determine a strategy for bringing the product to market. Product development can be a costly process. Therefore, it is important to identify at the earliest possible moment any concept oversights that might prevent the idea from being successful. In addition to product evaluation, the consultation provides an opportunity for design brainstorming, and the discussion of pertinent issues including: patenting, manufacturing, marketing strategy, project risk, and licensing. The one hour phone consultation often saves clients thousands of dollars in product development expenses yet it costs only $125.00. Payment may be by check in advance, or by charging to Visa/MasterCard over the phone.
