Product Design, Development, and Patenting

Products I've conceived and sketched new product ideas and designs for years. I've taken the
next steps more recently and prototyped and patented two product concepts in the
sporting goods segment for license to manufacturers, and have one product in the marketplace.

Services Available

  • Market research
  • Product prototyping
  • Patent writing and review

Sample work follows. Contact me if you have product ideas you'd like to take to market.

Products

Toyota Prius AccessoryThe Car Cubby is a simple and smart storage accessory for the Toyota Prius that I took from idea to prototype to product to market and sold through Toyota dealers, international distributors and on-line.

Patents

I've vented my creative outlet by prototyping various product concepts and getting provisional patents for these prototypes:

Patent # US61/195,577 for a Car Cubby for the Toyota Prius

Patent # US60/922,171 for an Improved Bicycle Frame Pump Handle

Patent # US60/965,226 for An Improved Basketball Net


Just For Fun

I've long conceived and fashioned small products for personal use.

This is a pair of "semi-skins", designed for climbing and touring on skis when the grade isn't too steep. They provide traction while allowing the ski to glide and work just great.

 

I personalized my laptop by applying some cherry veneer.
