Inventor Support
Inventors inevitably find themselves in the position of looking for help to develop their new product idea. A Kapstone partnership provides an alternative to the time and expense of building an engineering group around the idea, or the risk of giving it away to a larger company to be commercialized.
While developing a marketable product in record time is always our end goal, we recognize that a thorough yet cost-effective means of establishing feasibility quickly is a critical first step. That is precisely why we focus on assisting inventors with brainstorming, concept development and feasibility studies for their ideas. We tackle this early stage from multiple angles including design, manufacturing, clinical, regulatory and intellectual property.
Our approach not only allows physician inventors to retain control over key design features and timelines, but also adds significant value by mitigating much of the risk of new product development while building key intellectual property protection. Our highly experienced team helps navigate the pitfalls of new product development and get to a proof-of-concept quickly.
