Frequently Asked Questions.
-
While automation itself is useful, our firm combines AI, advanced Boolean logic and human legal expertise. We don’t just deliver a list of results; we provide curated analysis that filters out the noise to identify the most relevant prior art.
-
Security is our top priority. Our search tools utilize secure internal servers and our team operates under strict non-disclosure protocols. Your proprietary product concepts and filing strategies remain completely confidential throughout the search process.
-
Turnaround varies by search type. Patentability searches typically take about two weeks, landscape analyses two to three weeks, and FTO or invalidity searches three to four weeks. We can often accommodate expedited requests — just let us know your timeline when you reach out.
-
By identifying potential obstacles before you file, we allow counsel to draft more precise, defensible claims. This significantly reduces the likelihood of costly Office Actions and "back-and-forth" with the USPTO, saving you time and legal fees.
-
Yes. Our research capabilities extend globally, covering international patent databases and non-patent literature (NPL) in multiple languages through machine translations to ensure your IP is assessed on a global scale.
-
We provide the raw data along with detailed reference analysis that includes specification citations and the option to include professional mapping. We can deliver detailed claim charts that align prior art against specific patent claims, providing a ready-to-use foundation for your litigation or defense strategy.
-
We dig deeper than just patent databases. Our research includes academic journals, conference papers, product manuals, white papers, and archived web content to find "hidden" prior art that automated tools often miss.
-
Starting a project is simple. We typically require a brief description of the technology, specific claims of interest for litigation support, or a draft specification. We then provide a transparent quote and project timeline within 24 hours.
