Abstract

A product that does it all for its consumer, that's what one dreams about. If it vacuums one would also like to see it mop, if it dusts one would like to see it polish as well. What does it take to get a product like this on the market and not only stand out, but also succeed? Should one that finds the capabilities to invent such a product take a legal standpoint and keep in mind of ways to put this product on the market.

Having a partnership makes funding to get my business or product up and running a lot easier, rather than having to fund my project alone causing delays due to lack of funds or possibly investing every penny I have and losing everything I invest. Also, being in a partnership allows more brain power, simply stated, 'two (or more) heads are better than one', meaning that because there is now more than one brain functioning, there are more ideas being generated, along with more skills and possible positive connections or contacts that may promote the business or product on an even more successful level.

Thinking about the disadvantages of a Partnership, to me outweighs the advantages, which, personally steers me away from the idea of being in a Partnership. When entering into a Partnership, I do acknowledge the fact that now I am not only liable
