How the Invention Evaluation System Works

The PatentCafe® Invention Evaluation System Professional Edition is built on our own System and Method for Adaptive Relational Testing (SMART™) technology. This product evaluation software actually adapts to your individual invention, customizing questions and calculations along the way as you begin entering your answers. Every product or invention evaluation is totally custom-generated!

Our system guides you step-by-step through more than 80 finely-tuned questions addressing the key success factors that can contribute to your invention's financial success or failure, including:

  • Competition and Competitive Product Analysis
  • Sales & Marketability Assessment
  • Societal Consequences and Environmental Impact Evaluation
  • Product Design & Engineering Approaches
  • Production and Manufacturability Assessment
  • Patent, Trademark and Copyright Protection Assessment
  • Legal, Liability and Safety Evaluation
  • Only Invention & Product Evaluation Program that includes a critically important Invention Development Financial Analysis and Budget Planning Report

Components of Invention AssessmentYou'd need a computer to keep all these considerations on the top of your mind when developing your successful invention. Now you have one!

Patent Cafe’s Invention Evaluation System runs on powerful, industry standard relational database, and incorporates our proprietary SMART system to correlate the critical relationships between all of these vital product rating elements.

As the name suggests, our unique SMART technology consolidates these critical, interrelated components of the line-item assessment points, then mathematically balances them to deliver a more accurate picture of the impact of individual answers on the total evaluation product rating.

Here's an example:

If your innovation is targeted toward a market restricted by strict government regulations (such as having to do with the environmental or toxic waste), your product rating would, of course, be lowered because of the business difficulty in entering this market. However, if you have identified products or technologies that can be used to neutralize the toxic effects that your invention may inadvertently create, the effected product ratings are automatically increased. All of this is accomplished automatically as you answer all of the questions.

No other product assessment tool is more flexible or more adaptive in generating such real world results. In a word, it's SMART™.

Success depends ...

  • Product design is connected to manufacturing.
  • Sales is connected to legal and safety.
  • Patents are related to competition.

YOU are responsible for bringing together all these innovation processes if you're going to succeed.

This Invention Evaluation System helps inventors become successful innovators!

PatentCafe's Invention and New Product Evaluation System:

• automatically ties together interrelated components of the product development process - giving a REALISTIC picture of the overall strengths and weaknesses of an innovation.
