The first step in the patenting process is to determine if your invention is patentable. Before attempting to patent a new product, it is advisable to conduct a search to determine whether the new product meets the statutory qualifications for patent and perhaps whether it infringes an earlier patent. Our patents searches uncover U.S. and foreign patents that are similar to your invention. We use the same search resources as Patent Office Examiners. Our searches include a written legal opinion and clients are also welcome to contact our attorneys for an explanation of their results.
Our patent search services include:
Combined US and Foreign Patent Search $550 - $750
