Product Development
Product Design & Engineering
We will transfer your creation onto a 3D CAD Drawing, call out raw materials, manufacturing process and bring your product to life! Then we can make a prototype before taking it overseas to manufacturers, where we will communicate with the factory to make sure they fully understand fit, form and function of the design.
Design Process
A. We start with a Feasibility Study.
B. Creating 3D CAD drawings. We use Solidworks CAD Drafting software, which enables AASA to create each part of your product’s design accurately. We design every part with manufacturing in mind making the process efficient and economical. We prepare CAD drawing packages for overseas manufacturers to review, creating accurate estimates for tooling costs and component part prices.
C. We will convert your drawing, your vision into prototypes made here in the USA. It is important that we validate your design before moving it to Asia for bulk manufacturing. It is during the prototyping stage that any tweaks or improvements are detailed and made by our team, and relayed to you. We aim to minimize confusion.
Product PROTOTYPES
Prototypes are a key tool in the product development process because they can save significant time and expense. Prototypes serve different functions. A proof of concept prototype may not look beautiful, but it demonstrates that the intended features do indeed work. Our appearance prototypes show potential investors how the product will look and feel before going into production. The Prototype can also act as a bench-mark sample to the overseas factory.
D. Choosing the right overseas manufacturer & communicating with them during every step of the way. It is important to know that you are working with a manufacturer that will produce consistent & high-quality products at an agreed price and timeline. It is also important to have clear communication with the manufacturer so that important design features do not get lost in translation. Once your product is designed in the USA, we will continue to work with your factory to make sure the mass production stage runs smoothly & effectively.

Do not Risk Losing the Rights to Your Intellectual Property
PRODUCT LEGAL PROTECTION
DO NOT take your product to market without protecting it first from potential copycats! Make sure your product is fully protected with a trademark and a patent. Our team will make sure your new product is protected and cannot be easily copied by potential competitors. Without legal product protection, your idea can be stolen even before you hit market.
No Shortcuts!
PROTECT YOUR PRODUCT
We will conduct a thorough search at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and additional countries if you choose too. This will allow you to find similar inventions that came before yours, which is known as “prior art”. We will advise you whether your invention is patentable, or make suggestions to your design that will make your product more easily patented.
Every year, there are more than half a million patents filed in the United States. While there are at least six different types of patents issued by the (USPTO), the three most common types are utility patents, design patents and plant patents.
In general, a “utility patent” protects the way an article is used and works (35 U.S.C. 101), while a “design patent” protects the way an article looks (35 U.S.C. 171).
WHICH PRODUCTS CAN BE PATENTED?
Under U.S. patent law, any person who “invents or discovers any new and useful process, machine, manufacture or composition of matter, or any new and useful improvement thereof, may obtain a patent”. The invention must have some utility or usefulness. The invention must not be obvious.
Patent pending is the term used to describe a patent application filed with the patent office, but has not issued as a patent. Patent pending indicates that the inventor is pursuing protection, but the scope of protection, or whether a patent will even issue, is still undetermined.
