CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
Professional design input gives your new product idea the best chance of success in the marketplace.
Our skilled product design team can add substantial value to your invention by establishing a clear product specification, followed by the exploration of functional, ergonomic, and aesthetic concepts, along with patentable features, ultimately refining them into a polished concept presentation.
DESIGN SPECIFICATION
1
At Duku, we can work with clients starting from a blank slate or with an existing idea. Our initial step is always to clarify the project brief and ensure clarity of the product requirements.
A clear product specification is essential in this process, ensuring that everyone is aligned and understands the product's goals, key performance criteria, and design constraints from the outset.
RESEARCH & FEASIBILITY
Can the product fulfil the objectives outlined in the product specification? Research and feasibility studies are carried out to identify appropriate existing mechanical or electronic components that align with the specification goals, or to consider the development of unique intellectual property to satisfy product needs.
This process typically results in several potential development pathways, along with an assessment of the most suitable option.

Our ideation stage explores different ideas as to how your product could meet the functional, ergonomic and aesthetic requirements of the product specification.
We create a range of innovative concepts that aim to provide patentable design features to protect your new idea in the marketplace. Our patent team are on hand to advise on intellectual property strategy and guide you through the patent application process.
