So I am currently a student at Wentworth Institute of Technology and I am studying Electromechanical Engineering. I am going into my 5th year and I have a lot of great ideas floating around in my head. I came across a great idea for a golf club that should help an average golfer with their putting. So basically I am looking to get a patent on this idea so that I could go further by selling it to manufacturers or starting a business. The idea is for a putter and it has a moving counter weight... I have looked everywhere and I have not seen any rule that prohibits this in golf.
So I am looking for advice where to go from here... I have gone to an invention website already and talked about the idea with them. For 800 dollars they have put together a market report for the idea and told me that the next step is to get investors to get it off the ground and get the patent. The only problem is they have done their part and expect me to come up with around $10,000 to get the actual patent. Like I said, I am a college student and definately do not have access to large amounts of money at this time. I would really appreciate anyone that has some insight to where I should go next or what to do.
I feel this idea has a lot of potential seeing as there is no other idea like this and that golf is an extremely large market to tap into. The club should be low cost to manufacture and golf is an international sport. I think this idea has a lot of potential pending how well the prototype works.
I am trying to put together a business report and am in the process of making a prototype...
What next?
Please Help!
