Integrated Design

Invention is unique to mankind and is critical to the success of corporations, especially in today’s highly competitive world economy. Inventions are intellectual property. They have cash value and are considered a corporate asset. Patented inventions provide corporations with a unique competitive advantage, enabling them to offer products that cannot be sold by their competitors. Integrated Design is proud to have provided its clients with more than 22 issued patents and more than 6 additional pending. With its unique combination of technical expertise and highly creative designers, IDS has delivered innovative patented designs in numerous diverse market areas, ranging from voting machines to water purification products.

IDS’s diverse expertise in plastics engineering, manufacturing methods, mechanical engineering and product design is critical to its success as a company that can invent. In addition to technical knowledge, invention requires imagination, creative thinking and keen problem solving skills. Integrated Design hand picks designers with these unique qualities, to work together within a highly interactive environment where bright ideas are always percolating.  Industrial designers and engineers are encouraged to experiment, make mistakes, explore, play and share their ideas with each other to evolve abstract concepts into well-defined patentable designs.

Integrated Design’s diverse product design experience in so many unrelated markets has also been a primary reason for its success inventing and patenting new ideas. Invention requires a certain amount of experimentation as well as creative thinking. Experimentation with materials and mechanisms based on physical principles or performance criteria is essential for many patentable inventions.  During these explorations the inventor is typically striving for a better, simpler and more reliable solution to a problem that is encountered. Integrated Design’s philosophy of holistic problem solving encourages its designers to invent and develop elegantly simple designs that are beautiful as well as functional.
