The primary purpose of this step is to verify whether the invention is feasible and marketable. Indeed, certain laws or regulations may prevent you from marketing a product. For example, if your invention involves a gas whose use is prohibited by the Kyoto Protocol, obtaining a patent will be pointless. It's better to know this beforehand than after you've spent time and money on its protection and development.

It may also be beneficial for you to get a professional opinion on different aspects of your invention. Their opinion may differ from yours and lead you to question the wisdom of initiating the process.

Following the analysis of the information you provide in your confidential disclosure form, the evaluator will prepare a report of approximately fifteen pages of comments, suggestions, and recommendations divided into seven distinct sections:

- Description of the invention

- Business opportunities

- Social factors

- Market introduction

- Competition

- Summary of opportunities and obstacles

- The conclusion

His report will include objective observations and comments, based on his experience, which he will have provided solely to help guide your future steps. This evaluation does not claim to be an in-depth analysis revealing your chances of success, but rather a reference guide to which you can refer throughout the process. The evaluator will also take the opportunity to identify and list the characteristics of your invention, the source code, classes, and classifications that will receive particular attention when searching for prior patents.
