Services

Search work built around the decision you need to make

Each service follows the same classification-driven methodology, tuned for its purpose — filing, litigation, clearance, or strategy.

01 · Patentability Search · Novelty

Patentability Search

Before you file, know exactly what's already out there. Our patentability searches identify the closest published and unpublished prior art against your invention disclosure, across patent literature and non-patent literature (NPL) worldwide — so your attorney can draft claims that are actually defensible.

  • → Global patent database coverage (Derwent, Questal Orbit, USPTO, EPO, WIPO, JPO, CNIPA, and 35+ others)
  • → NPL and academic literature review
  • → Element-by-element relevance summary for top references
  • → Patentability opinion with claim drafting guidance
