Nuha Al- Shair Professor Bhatia ENT-358 February 4, 2020 New Product Development: Steps 1-3 Step 1: Product Idea Information 1. Define: Define the problem you are trying to solve. My teammate, Talal Al- Shair and I have decided to go with and build upon creating new and unique products using glass fiber. We have always been interested in finding an alternative to wood, metal, plastic and paper that would be better for both humans and the environment. 2. What is the story behind it ( Give the background details of why you are addressing this problem). + Describe your solution to the problem: Within the economics of glass fiber there are three main components, one, that it is a better replacement to the materials mentioned, two, it consists of raw materials, and three it is maintenance free. Internationally, glass fiber has been made and molded into many different products. Glass fiber is an easily moldable and flexible material that more or less has no limits when it comes to making new products. Glass fiber can be molded to make products ranging from airplanes, street lighting poles, clothing, bottles, straws and so on. The best thing about glass fiber is that it is safe as well as environmentally friendly. Any product made of glass fiber can be grinded into powder and reused. In conclusion, the goal is to create practical products made by glass fiber that hasn’t, to our knowledge, been made before. Such as a fiber glass bottle for any kind of liquid. 3. Identify the end users ? ( where are these users?: local, regional, global) + How big is the market for this idea? ($) Where I am from, in Saudi Arabia or in the gulf countries in general, glass fiber is not being made enough. In the GCC there are no forestry or metal ores. In a route of upstream thinking, my teammate and I thought to make more products that have not been made yet out of glass fiber. Since the market target is the GCC, glass fiber is the perfect material to go with since it consists of the two raw materials that the GCC is well known for having in abundance; oil and petrochemicals. Step 2: Competition (direct, Indirect, alternate or substitute) Product Name: Carlsberg’s sustainable wood fiber bottle Price: X Bottle 330 ml: $3.25 / 6 X Bottle 330 ml: $13.2 Web Address: Carlsberg.com/en/green-fibre-bottle Name of Corporation on Packaging: Danish Pilsner Corporation Website: Carlsberg.com/en/green-fibre-bottle Description of Product +Image: Step 3: Patent Search for competition You can use websites like www.google.com/patents; www.uspto.com to find similar patents and your idea to use as reference in Section 3: Brainstorming. Save the information of the similar patents you find below: Patent Number Date of Patent 1 EP2448732A1 2 WO2006001717A1 3 US6413364B1 4 US20100092731A1 Drawing(s) Comments look similar 2010,2011 No This is a patent for compromising fibers of a lignocellulose natural fibers or material that use particulate binders formulations that comprise of oligomer. 2004,2005, 2006 No This is a patent for producing granules that comprise of fibers and lignocellulose material for use as a feedstock in plastic manufacture. 2002 No The invention gives the processes and the apparatus that is used for the treatments and the recovery of the fiberboard. 2010 Yes The present invention is particularly suitable for use in making glass or floating boards, which are formed of floor panels with a wood fiber core and a thin decorative wear resistant surface. Step 4: Differentiating your idea (Establish Product Idea Features to help you create a product Sheet) Refining: Using the information from above: Pre-Development it’s time to differentiate your idea. Keep in mind that just because you may have found similar products and/or patents to your idea, you just have to find a feature that makes yours unique. Unique Features- this idea is unique because… (List why your idea is better than what is currently on the market. 1) 2) 3) Product Benefits: ​Based on above write a one sentence Product Benefit statement Green features of the product 1. Describe “green and sustainable” features and benefits of the product. 2.​ C ​ an your product be made from recycled raw materials? 3.​ C ​ an the finished product, its packaging, and other components be recycled or reused? 4.​ H ​ ow will your product benefit the environment? 5.​ W ​ ill your product save energy/water/other resources? .5 hal Patent Application?.

1. Is it commercial?
This glass fibre patent as a replacement material is for commercial purposes considering
the ready market available within the gulf region. This is a ready commercial market since in the
Gulf countries, and there are no forest products such as timber or metal ores for making some
environment-friendly products. Another thought to keep in mind is if not commercial what my
intent is or I may choose to preserve the creation as a trade secret.
2. Did you invent it?
How I or as a team do we prove that this idea we are about to patent is our original work
or thoughts. However, since we are using fibreglass something already discovered, we intend to
use it as a replacement material for products that have not yet been made out of glass fibre.
3. Do you own it?
Given the intricacy of patent filing and the legal services are necessary, for instance, claim to
draft, it is highly prudent to seek out legal aid from a patent lawyer when drafting a patent
application. Since
4. Is it useful?

Name 2
This idea is useful in terms of solving environmental issues and reduce the importing cost
of materials that we can manufacture within the gulf countries. Glass fibre is a green material
that is environmentally friendly and can be manufactured locally without outsourcing a lot of raw
materials.
5. Does it fit within the patent classes?
This innovation falls within the design patent category since the design is
indistinguishable from the item. While the product or object and its design are indivisible, a
structure patent that only ensures the item's appearance. In 2016, Pressman stated that to ensure
the practical or essential highlights of an object or product, an individual should likewise file for
a utility patent. Like the instance of this development, it includes processes. Likewise, Processes
alludes to any demonstrations or strategies for accomplishing something, as a rule including
mechanical or specialized procedures. Structures of the issue are fundamentally synthetic
syntheses, which can incorporate a blend of fixings or new concoction mixes, a utility patent is a
feasible option.
6. is it novel?
This patent application, new item improvement innovation is viewed as a novel since it is
not quite the same as every distinct past development (called "prior craftsmanship") in at least
one of its constituent components. Even so, it is still incautious for us to patent before filling,
since we will lose foreign filing rights. Someone else may see the production and document a
different application on it before the genuine innovator documents, along these lines requiring a
costly and irresolute implication proceeding.
7. It is something that is not obvious to other inventors.

Name 3
This new product development using glass fibre is considered nonobvious because somebody
skilled in this particular field of glass fibre innovation would see it as a sudden or astounding
advancement....
