All ideas have a ‘use-by’ date, and if it is missed chances are the opportunity for the idea may simply evaporate. CobaltNiche introduce DesignPacks, an exciting new initiatve that bring design ideas to life within accessible, high-value and fixed-cost service packages.
Most people, at least once in their lives, have a great product idea but don’t know how to explore and commercialise it. Even companies, with many more resources than individuals, may lack the specialist knowledge and systems necessary to develop products for today’s markets. Yet for some people the idea of using a professional design group may seem daunting.
Design your dream product; DesignPacks can make it happen
We have put together our DesignPacks as a new entry point for inventors and companies who want professional design and engineering development to help turn their ideas into successful products.
DesignPacks provide fixed-cost design and engineering services for frequently requested project types, allowing clients to plan their first development steps with confidence and certainty. As in all creative processes, the early stages are the most influential in setting a project’s direction and likelihood for success. DesignPacks are an ideal and cost-effective way of taking this first step.
This CobaltNiche initiative provides excellent value-for-money as we pass on the savings we make through an online application process and streamlined operations. For examples DesigPacks provide professional design input for as little as $2000 (exluding GST).
Freehills: Leaders in IP protection
CobaltNiche has partnered with Freehills Patent & Trade Mark Attorneys to offer intellectual property (IP) services within several of our DesignPack packages. Freehills is one of Australia’s most respected legal firms, and offer a full range of specialist advice and services in relation to patents, innovation patents, design registration and trademarks. By combining our services, CobaltNiche and Freehills can integrate design and IP considerations from the idea’s point of conception through to the marketplace.
Usable Results
Even in complex projects, undertaking one (or more) DesignPack projects can provide a valuable start to development. The results of a DesignPack project will provide tangible material to help you decisively progress or resolve your idea by:
- Setting a design direction or exploring key technical details
- Identifying intellectual property issues
- Understanding the ideal user environment and market
- Confirming the product’s commercial viability
- Identify challenges and strategies to maximise success
In many instances the output of a DesignPack project will be sufficient for a client to continue their own development or to sell/licence their idea to a targeted (larger) company. In other cases CobaltNiche can continue design and engineering development through regular tailored stages.
