Our search professionals use Patentability Search services to help you discover and identify all art published before an invention, along with documentation with citations and excerpts from all references found. We deliver a concise search report that includes citations to sections of any prior art discovered and electronic copies of the referenced documents.
THE PROCESS
We advise our clients to conduct a patentability search for early-stage innovation (ideation) before filing a patent application (based on drafted claims).
Our patentability search service explores the granted and published applications of significant patent offices and domain-relevant, non-patent literature. We document all findings in a C-Suite-ready report so you can best use your innovation time and funding.
Our Patentability Search Services Include:
- Patent and non-patent literature sources in the United States, Europe, Asia, and other member countries of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT)
- All of our CN, KR, JP, and other foreign authorities include an English machine-translated document
- Additional sources are available upon request
ITAR COMPLIANCE
ITAR Compliant TEam
ITAR is a set of regulations in the United States that controls the export and import of defense-related articles and services on the United States Munitions List (USML), which can include technologies that have potential military or national security applications. Suppose you patent a technology that falls under the USML (United States Munitions List) categories covered by ITAR. In that case, you must ensure compliance to prevent unauthorized disclosure or transfer of the technology to foreign entities.
Organizations engaged in international trade are responsible for understanding and complying with the ITAR regulations. Working with a patent search services team that is ITAR compliant accelerates your innovation process by staying ahead of the compliance regulations needed, helping you protect your intellectual property, navigate the complexities of export controls, and ensure that your technology’s journey from innovation to patenting to potential commercialization is compliant.
