I reviewed a company today, Davison Design that offers support in reviewing ideas that might be developed, patented and licensed under a brand name. They offer for a fee services to walk you through the process, help develop your idea and make it marketable get patents under way if appropriate and work to set up a business agreement to get the product to market.

As an information maven, myself and many of my readers think of, learn of and develop many many ideas. Typically, we are the gather’s of this information as the theory goes. To actualize our concepts we need to similarly gather or marshall the proper resources to make the concept a reality, enter Davison Design.

In the current landscape of the business world it is very easy to outsource components of a business and build a business model like an adolescent would build a castle with legos. However, it takes a lot of know how about the best processes of running the business components to insure that things are not only done correct, but also to insure that things are done in a manner that realizes their maximum potential.

Many business models like this have been setup on the web to cover shopping carts and online stores and more, the concept of building out a business and putting the knowledge to work takes moves one degree further out of the box.

Here is an excerpt of their 12 step approach to this process.

I’m going to continue my review after I get some information from the company next. I’ll keep you posted on how this process goes, and will outline some alternative options in upcoming articles from tracking down manufacturers by yourself to walking through the patent process.

The Aptera is a concept two person car that weighs less than 1000lbs and will seat 2 people. Its got three weels and no bumpers, but it gets 330 miles per gallon, which is about 309 miles per gallon more than the average American vehicle.

The big question is whether or not Americans can change their driving habits if they are forced to change (force coming from unaffordable gas prices). Today, many Americans drive around alone in cars or SUV’s that get 21mpg on average. They don’t typically car pool and more often than not they commute to work without the kids in the car.

Now many do cart the kids around for various events and occassions but the daily commute is often kid free. Since America has not solid mass transit options in most cities and towns, the likely option to solve the current energy crisis is to utilize a hybrid vehicle. Many of these hybrids are small cars and they only seat 1 or 2 people, which would require family trips, even to a soccer game or day care in a different vehicle.

So can Americans start to utilize the concept of buying a commuter car, and saving their SUV or mini van for nights and weekends?

Can you see yourself driving an Aptera to work? Often times people have to envision themselves in a vehicle before they will consider making the purchase. Americans might contemplate a Harley to save gas over a hybrid, but a hybrid will keep them dry on a rainy day and warm when its cold out. How does it handle on ice? Well that’s probably a different problem.
