Patentability / Prior Art Search

A novelty search before drafting saves orders of magnitude in prosecution costs. We trawl USPTO, EPO, IPO India, WIPO and non-patent literature using a hybrid of semantic and Boolean queries, then deliver an opinion that tells you exactly which claim limitations will survive examination — and which won't. Built for inventors who want to know before they file.

02 / 04

Patent Landscape Analysis

Where is the technology going? Who owns the white spaces? Which competitors are accelerating, which are stalling? Our landscape reports map thousands of patents into visual taxonomies — citation networks, applicant clusters, IPC/CPC classifications, time-series filings — surfacing the strategic intelligence R&D leaders and board members actually need to make funding, licensing and roadmap decisions.

03 / 04

Patent Invalidity Search

When the stakes are litigation, opposition or licensing, a routine search is not enough. We run exhaustive invalidity sweeps — combining patent and non-patent prior art across English, Japanese, German and Chinese sources — and build defensible claim charts that map every reference to every disputed claim element. The kind of search that holds up at the PTAB, and in district / high court.

04 / 04

Freedom-To-Operate (FTO) Study

Before you launch, before you raise, before you license — know whose patents your product touches. Our FTO opinions identify blocking claims across every jurisdiction you ship in, propose design-arounds where the technical envelope allows, and quantify residual risk in plain language your CFO and counsel can act on with confidence.

Patent Drafting

A well-drafted patent is the difference between a defensible right and an expensive piece of paper. We craft specifications and claims that survive examination, withstand opposition, and stand up in court — every limitation chosen with intent. We partner with inventors and R&D teams to translate complex inventions into language a patent office accepts and a competitor cannot design around.
