Patent Search & Analysis

Comprehensive Search Methodology

True Prior Art Analysis:

Unlike basic patent databases or DIY searches, we conduct a comprehensive review covering both patent and non-patent literature. For a Hyderabad-based agritech startup, our thorough approach uncovered relevant scientific publications that basic searches missed, allowing them to refocus their innovation before significant investment.

Expert Decision Support:

We don't just provide raw search results—every search includes a detailed analysis and clear recommendations on whether to proceed with patenting. Our assessment considers the novelty and non-obviousness of your innovation compared to existing prior art, helping you make informed business decisions.

Strategic Visualization:

We translate complex patent information into straightforward visual maps and landscapes that clearly show where your innovation stands relative to existing technology. When a Delhi-based healthcare device inventor received our analysis, they immediately identified design modifications that helped navigate around existing patents.

When to Conduct a Patent Search

The right timing for patent searches depends on your business objectives:

• During early innovation to understand available "white space" in your field
• Before significant R&D investment to avoid developing already-patented technology
• Prior to patent filing to optimize your application's chances of success
• Before market entry to mitigate infringement risks
