In this context, a jurisdiction is a conventional or actual country or region where a specific patent has been granted or a patent application has been filed.

Evalify allows you to assess the preliminary freedom-to-operate (FTO) score by benchmarking an opportunity against patents from all jurisdictions or from IP5 only, or it enables you to specify the jurisdictions of interest based on your specific needs.

Short answer: nope! Evalify doesn't check or look for patents in your technology, but uses patent-derived information and insights to assess your technology. From each startup pitch deck, Evalify derives the potentially patentable (and valuable) technical features and checks them one by one against existing active patents worldwide to determine if your startup idea will bring you to crowded territories where it's easy to be on an infringement trajectory path or if, instead, you're most probably building something that gives you the freedom to operate (FTO) from day one.

We support and analyze input files written in any language. However, the assessment results are delivered in English language only.

Our assessment is designed to thoroughly understand the problem you're addressing and the specific ways you propose to solve it. Focus on describing your solution as best as you can, highlighting your unique value or selling proposition, technical solution details, and what you think you do differently from the competition.

The score ranges between 250 and 900. You can read more here.

In simple terms, use the extended pitch deck you would send via email, rather than the brief one you would use for a pitch presentation. Following these below suggestions will allow us to offer you the most accurate and helpful score and assessment; here is what we focus on:

1. Problem Understanding: What issues are you tackling? Describe the problem(s) in detail to help us grasp its significance.
2. Solution Nuances: How do you plan to address the problems? Provide comprehensive details about your approach to appreciate its innovation and effectiveness. For optimal clarity, write out acronyms in full (e.g., write “Location-Based Services” instead of “LBS”).
3. Unique Value Proposition: Optionally, highlight what sets your solution apart from others. What unique benefits does your solution offer?
4. Comparison with Competitors: Optionally, explain how your approach differs from existing solutions. What makes your solution stand out in the market?

We support PDF files only. We strongly advise using extended pitch decks rather than the brief ones typically used for presentations. Should you wish to include further details beyond your extended pitch deck, you are welcome to incorporate extra slides or pages into your submission. Please ensure all materials are combined into a single file for upload. The maximum file size we can analyze at the moment is 40 MB.

The privacy and security of your documents are our top priority. We do not store or retain your pitch decks; the same applies to our trusted third-party service providers. When you upload your pitch decks, our system comprehends and analyzes the content. This process involves searching for relevant intellectual property, interpreting results, crafting comprehensive reports, and deriving insights for you. This way, we only retain the analysis results. This ensures that you can access and review these reports anytime via your profile without compromising the confidentiality of your original documents. If you prefer not to keep the analysis results, you have the option to delete them directly from your account. Upon deletion, we permanently remove these results from our systems and databases, making recovery impossible. Should you need again the analysis results in the future, a new upload and analysis cycle would be required. For those interested in a deeper dive into the legal specifics of our process, please consult our Legal Documentation for more detailed information.
