An idea can pop up in your mind any time at any moment but we have to be careful. Because most of our ideas are just influenced by other ideas. So before implementing our idea or thinking of selling it, we need to do deep research on it and assure that no one is already using that idea. And if you are lucky enough and nobody is using that idea you just need to write that idea down and over time do some developmental modifications.

File for a patent

A patent is a form of intellectual property that gives its owner the legal right to exclude others from making, using, selling, and importing an invention for a limited period of years, in exchange for publishing an enabling public disclosure of the invention.

The patent is obviously the most important part of any invention. Because once the idea gets out of your mind and someone claims it to be there it doesn’t matter who thought it first but what matters is who first registered the patent.

Find a business in a similar niche

Try to find a company which has a similar vision and can adapt your idea easily.
