This ensures accurate IP protection, competitive intelligence, and informed decision-making for innovations in pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and material sciences.

Design Patent Search

Design patent search services focus on identifying existing visual designs and protecting the unique appearance of products. We analyze global databases to assess novelty, avoid infringement, and support strategic filing decisions. Ideal for industries like consumer products, fashion, and electronics, our searches ensure your design innovations are both original and defensible.

Freedom to Operate (FTO) Search

Freedom to Operate (FTO) searches identify existing patents that may pose a risk to launching a new product or technology. We analyze active patents in target markets to assess potential infringement and legal risks. Our detailed reports support informed go-to-market strategies, reduce litigation exposure, and ensure IP compliance for confident innovation.

Patent Invalidity Search/Opposition Search

Patent invalidity or opposition searches aim to find prior art that can challenge the novelty or non-obviousness of a granted patent. We conduct thorough searches across global databases to support legal defenses, oppositions, or revocation proceedings. Our analysis strengthens litigation strategies and helps clients protect their interests against weak or overly broad patents.

Patentability Search/Novelty Search

Patentability or novelty searches assess whether an invention is new and non-obvious before filing a patent application. We analyze prior art from global patent and non-patent literature to determine the uniqueness of your innovation. This helps refine claims, reduce filing risks, and improve the chances of securing strong patent protection.
