PRIMARY SOURCES:

• Person or group that created the problem and established the basic constraints and specifications - verbal decisions should be followed by written confirmation
  
• Similar products and experiences - most new products are combinations of existing ideas

SECONDARY SOURCES:

• FELLOW WORKERS - Managers, supervisors, engineers, designers, technicians, tradesmen, etc. (names, addresses, phone/fax numbers, email)
  
• PROFESSIONALS - Engineers, lawyers, doctors, scientists, professors, teachers, etc. (names, addresses, phone/fax numbers, email)
  
• COMMUNITY SERVICES - Fire, police, waste, utility, library, recreation, etc. (names, addresses, phone/fax numbers, email)
  
• PATENT OFFICE - Existing and pending (numbers, names, addresses, phone/fax numbers, email)
