STEP 1: Complete the patent search application on our client portal
You fill out a simple application describing your invention, including the specific areas of your invention you believe are new and potentially patentable. You may also include any drawings, figures or sketches.
STEP 2: Search is performed and a search report is compiled
The search report consists of other inventions similar to yours found in printed matter of the US and foreign patent offices, as well as a simple search of websites. The search report will usually include approximately 10-15 prior art references. We will also provide you copies of these prior art references.
STEP 3: Discuss the results with an experienced patent attorney
The discussion consists of an analysis of the references in the search report with respect to your invention. This discussion will give you insight on whether your invention is potentially patentable before you spend any additional funds. We will also discuss a prosecution strategy for crafting patent claims so as to avoid the prior art, if possible
