It
is a usually best to have a patentability
search conducted before you invest time or money in a
new project idea. If cost is a factor initially, you
can conduct a free preliminary
patent search on the Internet. However, before a
patent application is filed, a search should be
conducted at the United
States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). We are
located in close proximity to the USPTO and have a
working knowledge of the area and the examining
groups. Typically our patentability opinions include
patent search data obtained from:
- A
computer based search at the USPTO;
- A
manual search fine-tuned based on the results of
the computer search; and
- A
follow-up with a patent examiner in the group art
unit where your patent application will be
examined.
