Also known as patentability search. This is the first search required to decide whether a new invention can be protected by a patent. As part of this search our expert researchers generate the appropriate search criteria (read more...) for the specific invention. Then they scan multiple databases in multiple languages in over 80 countries (read more...) to show the state of the art reflecting the relevant prior art.

Draft searches are very similar to patent searches, they are designed to identify relevant prior art by providing a comprehensive state of the art analysis. The major difference is the fact these searches are more focused for a specific application already drafted or in the drafting phases.
After the decision was made to move forward and seek patent protection, the patent attorney will work with the inventor to correctly phrase the abstract, description, claims and other critical parts of the patent application document. During this process, and just before filing the application, draft search is performed to allow the inventor and the attorney to correctly phrase and focus the claims in order to maximize their chances of being approved by the examiner.

Also known by the acronym FTO, this search is key to any person or entity planning to market a product. Before a product can successfully be consumed in a market, huge investments are needed to produce, ship, distribute, and promote it. It is critical to be fully aware and consider potential infringement of intellectual property that might result by such a process. For a specific product, in a specific market, the infringement or lack-of,  is a key first step in developing a successful business and marketing strategy and plan.
