We provide quality patent searches!
The Patenting Process is the first step to getting your product out into the world. A patent search will provide a list of previously patented and/or patent pending concepts that may be related to your idea. A patent search allows you to make an informed decision about pursuing your invention, and establishes the fact that you have taken steps to research and protect your idea. Patent searches are complex procedures and with millions of patents issued and millions more pending the novice can easily overlook critical prior art. This is why we strongly recommend patent searches be conducted by an experienced researcher. Visit the Get Started page to start your patent search.
