I have an idea for a plastic product but no expertise. How do I make it take shape, patent and market it?

Answer 1

You should find a partner who does have expertise. You will have to share the profits, but you wouldn't be able to do it alone. Try checking with a nearby university's engineering school's faculty. See if you can find someone with expertise in plastics or consumer products or the like.

WRITE UP A CONTRACT DETERMINING HOW YOU WILL SHARE YOUR PROFITS BEFORE YOU SHARE ANYTHING WITH A PARTNER!!!!!
