In this episode of Invent America, we dive deep into the real-world process of bringing a product to life. From Windsley Richard’s life-saving “SkyBridge” emergency exit system—inspired by airplane safety—to Wendi Short’s “Float No More,” which solved a decade-long problem with hot tub relaxation, we explore the grit required to move from concept to commercialization.
We also sit down with industry expert Ian Osborne to discuss a critical turning point for every solo inventor: The Prototype. Do you go full-scale or start small? Ian breaks down the logic behind the proof-of-concept and why a 15×15 model can sometimes be more powerful than a multi-story demo.
Whether you’re struggling with USPTO patent hurdles or looking for a licensing partner, this segment is a masterclass in staying the course.
