The DeMarco Method.
Founded in 2007, DeMarcoIP has combined decades of specialized expertise to provide world-class patent search services. Our growth is driven by a commitment to excellence, transparency, and a meticulous technical analysis that goes beyond finding data to providing strategic clarity.
Using the DeMarco Method, our proprietary, multi-step search process, we identify critical prior art that automated or less disciplined approaches often overlook. This rigorous, systematic approach ensures the high-confidence results required for your most important intellectual property decisions.
Commitment to Excellence
100% U.S. Based: Our team is entirely U.S. based patent agents, ensuring top-tier legal and technical fluency.
Full Transparency: We share our detailed search methodology with every project, regardless of scale.
Client-Focused: While others rely on “one-size-fits-all” searching, we provide a personalized touch that allows for real-time refinement.
