The possible invention is evaluated for both patent potential (new idea, non-obvious, useful and also commercialization potential (value in the marketplace). The inventor can help in this evaluation by: 1) Completing a preliminary patent search on the U. S. Patent & Trademark website (www.uspto.gov) and 2) Presenting some ideas on commercial use/markets and companies that might be interested in the invention.
