Welcome to the Internet home of the Innovation Institute!
About us
Some background information on invention evaluation; the Innovation Institute (we call it I2); and our various programs, including both PIES-X, our invention evaluation service, and PAS-III, our product assessment service.
WIN Innovation Center
As part of our goal of supporting invention world-wide, the Innovation Institute, the Center for Business and Economic Development at Southwest Missouri State University, and our WIN partners have joined together to support the WIN (World Innovation Network) Innovation Center. This expanded WIN Innovation Center provides the same quality invention evaluation and
product assessment services we offer in the United States to inventors and innovators world-wide, thereby creating a "WIN-WIN" situation for everyone.
Check out our background information for more information about our experience in innovation evaluation and assessment. There you will find information about the 25+ year history of the research and development behind our evaluation and assessment procedures. You'll also find information on our various programs, including our PIES-X invention evaluation service and our PAS-III product assessment service.
Are you an inventor? -- A research survey.
Pamela Riddle Bird is a PhD student doing research that attempts to identify the success ratios of inventors commercializing new products, ideas, and technologies. If you're an inventor and would be interested in contributing to her research, please visit her survey page here on the I2 site.
Client Comments
You can find some comments we've received regarding us, our evaluations, and our evaluation manual in our Client Comments section.
INNOVATION (in) REVIEW
Looking for insights into the innovation process? IR is an electronic journal focusing on subjects of interest to inventors, entrepreneurs, investors, innovators, and those who have a strong interest in supporting industrial innovation (including economic developers, government officials, consultants, patent attorneys, and licensing executives/agents). We have just posted our April 2001 issue, but you can still find previous issues by checking in the archives section.
I2 WIN Registration and Disclosure Forms
If you've decided an invention evaluation or product assessment is your next step, we've got the forms you need to get the process started.
In order to evaluate your new product idea, invention, or product, we will need some information about it. If you have an invention or new product idea, you will need our Invention Registration and Disclosure Form. If you have a product that's already being sold or that is fully market ready (including final packaging), please use our Product Registration and Disclosure Form. We will need a completed Registration & Disclosure form and the appropriate fee before we can start your evaluation/assessment. You can print the appropriate form from your web browser or download the form (in common word processor formats) and print it at your leisure. (Note: If you are unable to print these forms for any reason, just e-mail us at forms@wini2.com or write to us at Innovation Institute, 852 Highway MM, Everton, MO 65646 and request a registration packet.)
