I don't need an evaluation, but I would like to get some help in developing my invention. Most of our affiliates have limited resources, and are therefore unable to spend time and effort with ideas and inventions with low commercial potential. We won't disclose your idea or invention to anyone outside of the WIN staff without your express written permission. All of the people involved in the WIN program have signed confidentiality statements that are kept on file. They are then destroyed.
Paper is incinerated.
Non-burnable materials, including video tapes and prototypes, are physically destroyed. I have a new product, not an idea or invention. We have evaluated over 5,000 products using the PIES system or a modification of that system. We have used that experience to refine our product assessment system.
