Designed to assist attorneys who need to provide clients with opinions as to patentability. We search global patents, published applications, and non-patent literature, regardless of language or location.

Designed to assist attorneys in providing clients with advice on infringement avoidance or product clearance. Based on real or hypothetical product specifications, we identify claims in unexpired (in-force) patents that may be of interest, claims of published patent applications that may become an obstacle in the future, or claims of expired patents to illustrate that the product already belongs in the public domain. Because our analysts and agents have in-depth patent law experience and were trained by our subsidiary IP Education Center, we don’t just conduct a search – we know the best way to accurately map product features to the claim.
