Patentability searches are typically performed before a patent application is prepared in order to determine whether or not the invention will be patentable based on the published prior art that currently exists. Patentability searches cover all of the granted and published applications of the major patent offices; as well as domain relevant non-patent literature.

As a customer, you can expect to receive a concise search report containing citations to sections of the prior art found and electronic copies of the prior art documents.

Typical searches are completed and delivered within 5 - 7 business days
