Search types and descriptions
Our services are essential for anyone wishing to protect, manufacture, import or export an invention/product.

Our professional services are carried out by experts and offered to individual inventors, organisations, and patent attorneys in the US, UK, and all other major Countries. All of our searches are carried out using free and commercial databases and we cover most technical areas.

Novelty Search
Relates to identifying if your invention is new by 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.

Invalidity Search
If you are accused of infringing or worried about an existing patent, this assessment will help identify if that patent is valid. Thus providing additional information in support of a defence.

Patent Monitoring
This allows you to keep track of your competitor’s patent applications. This can be carried out on a regular basis customised to your requirements.

Patent Support Services
This includes help in sourcing a patent attorney and free general patents advice.
