Practice areas
Patentability / Novelty Search
A research process used to determine whether an invention is new, unique, and potentially eligible for patent protection before filing a patent application. We identify the closest art early, so filing decisions and claim scope are grounded in evidence rather than assumption.
- Global patent coverage
- Non-patent literature
- Annotated reference list
- Claim-scope guidance
Patent Invalidation Search
A detailed prior art search conducted to find evidence that an already granted patent should not have been granted because the invention was not actually new or inventive at the time of filing. Searches combine class-based manual review with targeted database and literature work.
- Element-by-element analysis
- Foreign-language art in original publication
- Anticipation & obviousness references
- Quick-turn options
Freedom-to-Operate (FTO)
A legal and technical patent search conducted to determine whether a product, process, or technology can be commercially used, manufactured, sold, imported, or launched without infringing active patents owned by others. Interim findings are shared as the search progresses.
- Customized project parameters
- Identification of live infringement risks
- Jurisdiction-specific coverage
- Results categorized by technical feature

Identify potentially infringing products or patents to support enforcement, assertion, and licensing strategy — with the technical evidence needed to substantiate each candidate.
