Confronted with an infringement allegation or want to ascertain the validity of your patent before going into litigation? PatVerse can help you in finding the prior art if it exists out there. We boast of having performed more than 2000 prior art and invalidation searches.
Finding a prior art requires sound technical expertise along with the spearhead searching skills. We bank on a team of seasoned IP professionals having enriched expertise in various technological domains.
Our prior art searches reveal information in any form (patents, non-patent literature, source code, product manuals, technical standards, news articles, blog entries, books, manuals etc.) that might be threatening to your invention’s originality (novelty).
Our Approach
We believe that the right understanding of the invention is more important than the search process itself. Our technological experts confide in their technical knowhow and they leave no stone unturned in understanding the invention by resorting to the following techniques:
- Technological background: Understand the technology evolution through rigorous online research
- Understanding the claim construction: Understanding the claimed invention in the light of the embodiments and the knowledge acquired in context to the technology evolution
- File History Analysis: The rejections from examiner and the responses to these rejections are critically examined to get more light for the search strategies used by the examiner and understanding the reason for allowance/novelty of the invention
- Search and Analysis: We perform searches in patent databases such as:
- Patent databases like Thomson Innovations, Orbit (from QuestelTM) and PatSeer
- Non-patent databases such as IEEE Xplore, CiteSeer, etc.
Needless to mention, we also exhaustively use free databases (Google Patents, IP.com, Espacenet, USPTO etc). Click here to request a quote/sample.
