When we receive your ROI, we immediately begin our analysis for patentability and commercialization. While we shoot to complete the evaluation in 4-6 weeks, there are a number of factors that sometimes lead to a longer time period. However, as noted in our IP policy, we will always get you an answer within 90 days. Keep in mind that during the evaluation period, we are looking at other published works, other similar patents that have been issued, and the likelihood of receiving an issued patent down the road.  In addition to evaluation for patentability, we also look at the commercialization side of the technology.  We look to see the market size, barriers to entry, industry interest, the consumers need for the novel technology and so on.  While all of this takes time, keep in mind we are working as fast as we possibly can.
