A patent search is an essential step to take in every stage of the patent lifecycle, from the beginning of R&D project planning until the monetization of a patent. A thorough patent search not only helps with research planning but also influences business decision making.
A patent search can be used to determine the patentability of an invention, to discover more about a new field of technology, obtaining market information, and monitoring the development of competitors.
We have expertise in different technical fields, along with the ability to understand the core of an invention and how to identify the essential features, thus allowing us to identify the most relevant patents. We use different tools, methods, and strategies to perform a patent search to ensure the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the search result.
