Searches built to stand
Six core service lines, each built on the same foundation: methodology thorough enough to trust, analysis clear enough to act on, and documentation solid enough to stand behind when it matters most.
Every search.
Every jurisdiction.
Every claim.
01
Invalidity/ Opposition
Comprehensive prior art discovery for litigation support — including Ex Parte Reexamination requests scoped to the SNQ standard, inter partes review, and patent opposition proceedings. Multi-source searching methodology, element-by-element claim analysis, and strategic framing of findings for legal use. No reference left unexamined.
03
Foreign Language Search
Searches in Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and other languages across foreign patent databases and technical literature. The searches that most providers skip and that most consequential matters require. If the prior art exists in another language, we will find it.
05
SOA/Technology Scouting
Comprehensive landscape mapping of existing patents, technical publications, and technological developments. For R&D investment decisions, innovation strategy, and competitive intelligence. We map what is known so you can build what is next.
02
Support for Expert Witnesses
Behind every credible expert opinion sits a thorough technical record. We prepare the prior art searches, claim charts, and reference compilations that expert witnesses rely on when drafting declarations, preparing for deposition, and giving trial testimony. The expert brings their judgment. We bring the underlying analytical work that holds up under cross-examination.
04
Freedom To Operate
Active patent identification across your target markets, with comprehensive claim-by-claim analysis, risk categorization, and specific design-around guidance. We deliver FTO opinions your product team can act on and your attorneys can stand behind.
06
Pre-Litigation Risk Screening
Systematic assessment of infringement exposure, competitive patent activity, and portfolio vulnerability — with strategic recommendations designed for boardroom-level decisions. The service corporate IP teams use when they need to understand what the landscape means for the business.
