I have an idea for an audio product what should I do?


Without giving too much away it involves working with smaller digital amplifiers that are modified for a certain application. Should I contact an electrical engineer or someone in the business already who builds audio amplifier products or...?? I have zero experience myself with building any audio related products but I think the idea I have is intriguing. Thanks for any help!

Think Really Hard about the intended market....

There's a lot of shipwrecks on the reefs of broken schemes.

And the debris of the digital boom is everywhere, hence the term:

vaporware.

But good fortune to you anyhow.... ;)

Search in patents

Is it patentable? search

File for patent, take help of patent lawyers.

Everything else comes after. first patent.

I spoke to a patent attorney way back in the day and he thought I had a good idea and told me to imagine myself running the hurdles, in a dense fog, with the hurdles spaced indiscriminately and that there was no end to the race. 

Also, if someone were to steal your idea, it would take well over a year for a favorable judgment and the thief of your idea would still be cranking out your product, making money off of it. 

Needless to say, I didn't go through with it due to lack of resources on my end. Do your due diligence, as advised.

All the best,
