Advantages of the Patent Cafe Invention Evaluation System

THE ADVANTAGES
[Totally Confidential] [Easy to Use] [Immediate Feedback]
[Powerful & Comprehensive] [Professional Reports]
[Improvement Recommendations] [Economical]

After you finish pouring months or years of time, and possibly thousands of dollars into your invention, will your invention really sell?

  • Will large companies really want to license it - and pay you a royalty?
  • Will your product really offer advantages over the competition so compelling, that you'll actually earn market share?

Most inventors and zealous marketing professionals say: "of course - it will sell in the millions". The facts speak differently.

The US Patent Office estimates that about 97% of all US patents issued each year will never make enough money to even pay for the patent - and they are all "great ideas"! Are you ready to be part of the 3% who WILL succeed?

The PatentCafe® Invention Evaluation System Professional Edition is the leading product Confidential & Immediateassessment program that helps you to analyze your invention in much the same way as the corporations that will be your customers or patent licensees. Evaluate before you risk your valuable time and money.

TOTALLY CONFIDENTIAL:

Many invention evaluation companies that require you to mail your invention details to them are legitimate, but whenever you mail confidential information, you are at risk of exposing or losing it.

With the PatentCafe® Invention Evaluation System online, you never reveal your invention details, and you never send your product or invention information to a company that you don't know. It's completely private.

EASY TO USE:

The PatentCafe® Invention Evaluation System was developed by inventors - for inventors (they have over 25 pending / issued patents). Based on inventor feedback over the past 6 years, this program has been continually refined and made even easier to use. Completing your own product evaluation is EASY. We guide you through every step, AND provide you with downloadable worksheets to prepare for each section of the evaluation.

When your invention evaluation is completed, our System and Method for Adaptive Relational Testing (SMART™) program will create a full series of visually understandable, easy to read reports, charts and graphs of your invention.

Powerful & EconomicalIMMEDIATE FEEDBACK:

Typical product and invention evaluation companies take 6-8 weeks or more to complete your invention assessment report. Add a week in the mail each way, and you're looking at almost 2-1/2 months!

The PatentCafe® Product Evaluation Invention Assessment System gives you 50 full days to complete your own invention assessment, but some inventors can finish it in a day or so - most will have no problem completing their product evaluation in a few weeks. After you're done, your full invention evaluation report is immediately available for online viewing or sending to your printer.

POWERFUL & COMPREHENSIVE:

PatentCafe's exclusive Invention Evaluation program is powerful. It employs our proprietary SMART™ technology. This computerized system is the only one of its kind that actually learns while you answer questions. All good invention evaluations take into account patent strength, marketing, manufacturability and many other business and engineering points. The hard part for other product or invention evaluations is to take all of these elements into account when determining your "score" or product rating. Read more about how our SMART™ technology does precisely that.

The PatentCafe® Invention Evaluation System is also comprehensive. It's based on real world success factors and critical business issues, not academic theory. More than 65 evaluation points drill into the heart of product important and invention issues related to the latest legal, technological and business trends.

Only report with financial budget estimatesPROVIDES PROFESSIONAL REPORTS:

The "Scores" and product ratings alone that other invention or product evaluation programs provide are fairly useless when it comes to providing input on how you can improve your score and improve your chance of invention success.

But when you complete your PatentCafe® Invention Evaluation, you will immediately receive a full, professional report online and a downloadable report. It's the only product evaluation that includes an invention development budget estimate, plus, nearly 30 separate color charts or graphs, and much more.

IMPROVEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS:

Your customized invention evaluation report, that averages 30 detail-filled pages, will include specially generated pages containing important tips and recommendations on every assessment point that your invention did not score or rate well on. Your report will tell you why the product rating was low, and how to make the changes to your invention or patent strategy to increase your probability of success.

MOST ECONOMICAL:

Cost for hiring an invention evaluation: $300.00 to $600.00 or more. For years, our invention evaluation software has been the leading product assessment system enabling innovation developers to complete their own evaluations.

Our new Online Program incorporates the best that we've ever offered in our service, as well as our invention and new product evaluation software, and at only $199 per comprehensive report, we've now made it the most affordable product and invention and new product evaluation program in the industry!

Using the PatentCafe® Invention Evaluation with our SMART technology is a small investment to help identify strengths and weaknesses in your new product or technology.
