Preliminary Evaluation For Patentability And Marketability

Once the inventor has a fully executed nondisclosure agreement in hand, and has sent information on the concept, SEARCHLINE conducts a preliminary evaluation. This evaluation, based on our extensive knowledge and experience examines the concept for possible obstacles to patenting, as well as taking a hard look at its marketing potential. Since the market (NOT the quality) determines the worth of the concept, there are very good ideas that for some reason will not make much money.

These two points are the most important for an inventor to consider prior to spending more time and money on an idea.
