Me and my partner patent a smartphone case idea and are looking on ways to find investors or information on idea licensing. The concept is a phone case that gives your phone multiple verity in charging ability by using 3 or more USB type charging adapters. This concept was created for the propose of reducing your phones charging limitation. Giving you the ability to use different charger heads to power your phone. This concept works well if you ever need to borrow someone's charger or your phones specific charger is unavailable. With this case you can choose from a verity of chargers to power your device. From Samsung to apple all devices can now share charging ability with this phone case if you ever are in a situation. Case provide powering protection and drop protection all in one. This application can be implemented on juice packs and wireless devices as while. This why it was patent.

I don't know you will be successful in your product application as there are several dozen similar products on the market today already.

The difficult part is funding the capital investment for the production run. Most companies get patents to produce in-house the product they patented. Your approach to this market is not realistic. Just having a patent is of no value at all.
Have you contacted SCORE and asked for an adviser ?

Have you determined unit cost at production volume ? How does your cost compare with current products on the market today ?
The value is that it eliminates the limitations of only have one way of charging, simple. Every electronic device has a single power source. our product gives you multiple sources for a single device. This idea can even be implemented on a wireless charging case as well, that's why it was patent because its a ablitly. Yeah you can go to the store, but a iPhone charger can only charge a iPhone right , some for galaxy HTC etc. So what happens if the airport or store etc doesn't have that model charger. SOLUTION !!!
We have started designing and engineering deferent phone models and case types from external batteries to wireless but we are in the very early stages so I figure maybe while all this is going on I can get insight from business experts
This idea was implemented becueas of my time in the military when in the field it's always a goose chance to find a compatible charger I alway see people asking around I thought this could be implement in a lot of work scenarios as while becuase people ten to misplace and forget things
It's not about yourself ever using the multiple ability it's about the security of you have it available, people don't by phone cases to drop there phone they buy them in case they drop. Our product a case as well with this ability to add on.
People live on there phones and would do anything to bring it back to live when they go died. this just adds a few extra life lines.
It so many scenarios that can be played out let say you get a new phone but left your new phones charger home but have your old phone charger in you car !!SOLUTION !! with are case no worries you can still power your phone.
I don't know what your mean by other way around ?? All I see is a solution for a common problem. Our demographic is mainly not carter to the prepared but cater to the unprepared
Like I said we are in the early early stages of development and with power banks trust me I seen people have dead power banks as well.
Nothing really stoping us from building the product ourselves just the some capital and the lack of enxpranices is kinda time consuming I feel. So I was seeking some guidance not your approval.
What stops you from building the product yourself and marketing it yourself through distributors like Amazon, Walmart, or Alibaba ?
Taiwanese or Singapore manufacturers will produce short-run example product for you at a reasonable cost.
A search of similar products on Amazon will produce likely companies that will either compete with you or undertake a venture with you.
I still don't get your value proposition, as I don't see the benefit. Just having a PowerPoint presentation does not impress me. And if you had done the research like you said, you would already know the answers to your questions you pose.
USB chargers and cables are readily available everywhere you go for free (airports, malls, etc). Any 7-11 or dime store has a replacement power supply for $2.99. USB supplemental battery packs come with new wireless plans and provide emergency power when needed (I have four of them laying around that I never use). Any cell phone store will exchange a battery with you.
It looks like you have a solution in search of a need, instead of the other way around.
Good luck with your effort. Wish you the best.
Response to John Green
Sorry John but that's a different product that is not the type of product we are introducing to the market. I did my research what We are producing is not out yet. Wireless chargers are only limited to its wireless pad for charging This leaves you limited to the pad. What we produced is a product that can be charged by multiple sources and doesn't limit you to a signal charging sources for powering up your device and can be charged from different USB adapters of your choice, in case needed in situations you need to borrow or find a charge for your phone. Thank you for your input but we already ran the cost and have projected the value and have a PowerPoint presentation. My question was what is the best avenue for finding companies that would be interested.
