I have a general idea for an accessory that I think many households in
the developed countries would go for. I would love to explore this
idea further, do some market research to understand if my thoughts are
reasonable and it they are, i would love to prototype the product and
explore options of manufacturing them in bulk. How do i go about doing
this? I am open to investing a few hunderd to thousand dollars(may be
2,3) for initial research and prototyping. Where do i find help and
how do i protect the idea from being stolen?
