Patent Search Flow

Searches

Prior Art / Pre-Filing Search

Pre-filing Search is to ascertain if the proposed idea has been disclosed earlier in the prior art.
It is very important when you want to clarify the difference between the prior art and the proposed idea prior to filing.

Clearance / Freedom to Operate Search

Clearance search seeks to detect any in-force patent, which is similar to your product or proposed product.

Invalidity Search

If you are informed that you are infringing someone else’s patent, we strive to find a patent that can possibly invalidate certain patent right.

SDI / Regular Investigation

Collecting patent application information on a regular basis helps you capture the current trend in technology and the situation around competitor’s R&D.
We are also able to develop patent map.
