Abstract
MEMS innovations are revolutionizing a number of existing and emerging high technology engineering disciplines. However, many problems and delays have been encountered in the introduction of MEMS innovations and potential products into commercial marketplaces. We present here some practical guidelines to evaluate product marketability and to facilitate the transition of a MEMS concept to commercial viability. These guidelines have been gleaned from an analysis of many successful, as well as some unsuccessful, commercialization efforts, a few of which are briefly described here.
