Assessment tool of the month
This month we are profiling the Go No Go(TM).
The Go No Go(TM) is an early stage assessment designed to identify obvious challenges to commercialization. The Go No Go(TM) evaluates the competitive landscape for a new technology by examining current commercial products, patents and on-going research. A market profile includes market trends, drivers and size, as well as preliminary commercialization considerations. Potential commercializations partners are identified.
The Go No Go is excellent for reviewing and prioritizing patent portfolios and making investment decisions about early stage technologies.
