Why use the Protomine Process?
The Protomine process was created to offer an alternative to expensive "Invention Submission" companies that offer so much and produce so little. Do the research and we know you'll see the difference.

What does it cost to develop a product?
Manufacturers follow a complicated and costly development process called product lifecycle management (plm). This approach encompasses the complete lifecycle from concept design through manufacturing and disposal. The typical cost for product development starts at around $100,000 for simple concepts and rises dramatically for more complicated concepts.

What are they promising you?
Organizations such as invention submission companies offer costly services promising to develop your concept for $5-$20,000 (a fraction of what it really costs) while delivering very little in return and producing very poor success rates.

The Reality
Paying high prices to outside companies to "develop" or "patent" your idea is often unnecessary if you just want to license your concept. Ultimately the distributor incurs the real costs of development and in return offers a licensing contract. Your job is to present an appealing product presentation and deliver it to the right people!

The Solution - The Protomine Process
In a nutshell, the Protomine process was created to help you create a presentation which represents and markets your design efficiently and effectively. Our proprietary process contains a complete checklist of items companies want in order to make informed decisions on whether or not to carry your product design. So forget about expensive invention submission companies and everyone else trying to take your money and do-it-yourself.

The Development Cycle
The development cycle consists of 24 hour increments to be managed between the client and the developer. Each submission by either the client or the developer must be responded to within a 24 hour period to maintain the reciprocal development status. Protomine guarantees a 24 hour response to all revisions supplied by the client prior to finalization. Should the client submit after the 24 hour cycle, the development cycle will fall into a 72 hour cycle whereas each developer return will be processed within 72 hours.
