We understand your prior art need
May it be the 'broadest reasonable interpretation' or is the 'strictest single reference', we do it efficiently right
It is safer to confront an informed difficulty than moving ahead with indefinite simplicity.
The rapid growth of technological innovations in the last decade has given rise to enormous IP activity. While on one hand, the increased IP protection has encouraged the inventors to generate novel ideas, on the other, the miniature improvements in the existing technologies has led the normally straightforward IP protection to the corridor of fierce legal battles.
In light of the densely populated IP and non-IP arts emerged today, it has become extremely necessary to ratify the legal and commercial viability of any innovative thought. We are here to help you at every step of your patent and Non-Patent Literature search needs.
PATENT SEARCH IS A STRATEGIC ITERATIVE APPROACH
A FEW GUARDED LOGICAL STEPS
LOGICAL NEGOTIATIONS
Figuring out the best prior arts in least possible time lies in the agility of realizing the requirement of an alternate strategy
Our Patent and Non-patent Literature Search Services
Identification of the best prior art references requires a series of systematized vigilant moves to weed out the probabilities of bad ones.
KNOCKOUT NOVELTY SEARCH
KnockOut Novelty Search is a relatively faster turnaround prior art search with 2 to 4 closest possible prior arts. The goal is to target the best documents that the invention reads on.
CHEMICAL STRUCTURE SEARCH
A Chemical structure in a patent may span from a defined exact structure, a family of structures to a Markush structure. A Markush structure represents several possible structural variations.
PATENT INVALIDITY / VALIDITY SEARCH
A Patent Invalidity Search or Validity Search or an Opposition Search is a prior art search designed to uncover pertinent prior arts that can challenge the grant of a patent.
STATE OF THE ART / COLLECTION SEARCH
A State of the Art Search also known as a Collection Search is a broad investigation of certain technical area aimed at gaining familiarity of the existing developments in and around it.
NOVELTY / PATENTABILITY SEARCH
In order to obtain a patent protection, a prospective invention having industrial applicability must be novel, useful, and must not be obvious to a “person ordinarily skilled in the art”.
CHEMICAL FORMULATION SEARCH
A chemical compound can be searched in a number of ways such as the chemical structure, substructure, CAS Registry number, IUPAC name, brand name, chemical formula etc.
FREEDOM TO OPERATE (FTO) SEARCH
Also known as Freedom to practice (FTP) search, Freedom to use search, or Product Clearance Search. A FTO search identifies the potential IP threats to a product or process in commerce.
PATENT WATCH / STATUS MONITORING
Patent Watch also known as Patent Alert is a periodic monitoring activity for patent applications and/or issued patents that can be scheduled at defined time intervals per need.
