GloDea

GloDea accepts mostly unique ideas that can be patented !

Patent and legal

When a new idea arrives at GloDea the first step is a review by our legal team. We have to make sure the product can legally be produced and sold. Secondly we check if it is possible to patent the product in the local market and worldwide.

Product Feasibility

While the legal team is doing their research a team of designers and engineers study the feasibility of the product to make sure that the idea can be materialized into something real.

Market Research

If the project passes the 2 first steps we organize a market research to see if there is need or demand for this product and what is the potential of that project

Concept Development

Once we know there is a market for the product, the idea has to be developed into something that can be manufactured. In this step the technical drawings are created, prototypes are made and modifications or adjustments are implemented. This is when the idea is materialized and becomes a real thing.

Funding

The funding to take the project forward can come from the designer him/herself, which would increase his/her royalties share; from an outside investor in exchange of future royalties; by GloDea itself or a combination of those options.

Manufacturing & Distribution

Manufacturing is done with one of our trustworthy partners that we find most suited for that particular project.

We sell to wholesalers and distributors plus to the end consumer directly. The product can be sold directly by the manufacturer or licensed to a third party that will manufacture and sell the product in its market in exchange of royalties.
