searching patent and non-patent literature published before
your invention. This provides information to help determine
the viability of your invention thus giving you an informed
decision of whether further investment is
justified.
Infringement Search
Relates to helping to identify the risk of your invention
infringing an existing patent in the relevant domain and
therefore the risk of litigation. This would be relevant for
anyone wishing to manufacture, import/export and/or sell
products.

existing patent, this assessment will help identify if that
patent is valid. Thus providing additional information in
support of a defence.

advances in a particular area of technology. It is
useful for identifying technology trends and competitors in a
