The Art of Inventing: From Idea to Invention: the Proven Path to Product Development (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781968841140)

Everyone has a million-dollar idea. Almost nobody knows what to do with it.

This book will change that.

The Art of Inventing: From Idea to Invention is your definitive, step-by-step guide to turning a concept scribbled on a napkin into a product sitting on store shelves. Written by David A. Streen, a multi-patented tool inventor who has navigated every stage of the invention process, this book cuts through the confusion and gives you a clear, proven roadmap for product development success.

Whether you're a first-time inventor or an entrepreneur with a partially developed idea, this guide walks you through the critical decisions, costly pitfalls, and industry secrets that can make or break a product launch.

Inside, you'll discover:

• How to validate your idea before spending a single dollar
• The patent process explained in plain language: what to file, when to file, and why
• How to find manufacturers, negotiate deals, and protect your intellectual property
• Proven strategies for getting your product onto store shelves and in front of buyers
• The mistakes most inventors make and exactly how to avoid them

Just one insight from this book could be the difference between a failed launch and a life-changing success.

Streen's no-nonsense, experience-driven approach makes the complex world of product development accessible to anyone with a dream and the drive to pursue it. If you've ever thought I should invent that, this is the book you've been waiting for.
