Barriers

The most common barriers to launching a new product:

  • The product is not ready for series production in time
  • The product does not meet the requirements of the user.
  • The patent department of a potential competitor searches against the patent
  • Barriers to the potential licensee:
    • The product replaces an existing product of a company and makes investments already made superfluous.
      • personal aspects
      • lack of decisiveness
      • wrong contact persons
  • The capital for realization is unavailable
  • The inventor takes no risks
