I was challenged with finding a solution to a specific problem for a prospective customer. They needed to apply a label to their product that would have bi-lingual instructions available for the consumer. They were currently using a printed and folded instruction sheet, manually placing it onto their product, then manually applying another label on top of that to hold it in place.

I spent a lot of time considering the problem, at the prospect's request, to find a viable solution. I came up with a pressure sensitive label that would solve thier problem. I created prototypes and supplied them to the prospect. This concept was well received.

Now I find out that they took my detailed designs and solutions and gave them to a competitior to quote. I priced this competitively.

Do I have IP protection here? Even though I haven't been paid to find this solution, it was implied that if I solved it, I would get the business?

Thanks

One of a few ideas I have for a career option is to start a small furniture company that specializes in coffee tables. I would have a specific design with a few custom features. Could I make a decent living off of this? How could I get at least 4 tables sold a month. I know I would be limiting myself with only offering coffee tables, but if I could make beautiful models, could that be enough for customers to order a piece from me?

Hi Everyone

I'm looking for a Business name that will also be used as the product line name.
My company is focusing on making/distributing patient "gowns"/garments mainly to individuals, doctors offices and hospitals...they are made to keep the patients' dignity/modesty while having invasive/potentially embarrasing procedures done...

some ideas to get started are : preserving dignity, covering everything except what is necessary, cultural sensitivity, helping to break down barriers to obtaining medical treatment (ie. many women in our community dont go for mammograms b/c of having to uncover with male staff for example, etc)

I'm looking for something that sounds professional and catchy

I LOVE 1. wordplay or 2. metaphores (ie. silhouette, shade, eclipse etc) and/or 3. words that start with the same letter

can anyone HELP me?
i'm OUT Of ideas and need a name ASAP
thanks so much in advance!

I just registered a small business and now would like to open a business checking account. I have been going to several banks in my area to find out which one is best. I am down to three options now.
1. Smaller bank (lack of features) but the banker has been very helpful in answering my questions (and had helped me in registering my business), so I feel I owe him.
2. Large bank (good features) and offer a great incentive of opening a new business acct.
3. Large bank (good features) and has the most ATMs and branches in my area.

Questions:
1. Is it okay to use more than one banks for my business account?
2.What happened if finally I only use one and let the other ones without activity?
3. Which bank would you choose for your small business?

I live in california and I want to open a small online store that sells toys like san-x and others. Many of the stores I've asked for wholesale said that I need to provide a sales tax license or Tax ID and business license. How do I get them? How much do the usually cost? How much are taxes? How often do I have to pay taxes? How old do you have to be? I'm 16.

I'm planning on starting my own small business, selling beauty products online from home. Does anyone have any tips or advise on how to mail the products safely? What things do I need to consider when it comes to shipping charges? I don't want to over-charge my customers w/ shipping fees. Which one is more effective, charging S&H fee base on weight or subtotal amount?
This is not for selling on EBAY, I'll have my own website that sell cosmetics and skin care.
