Why Request a Professional Patent Search or Classification Services?

• Patent searching is a nuanced process requiring knowledge of subject matter specific techniques to be most effective

• Even small changes in grammar can alter what an Examiner is required to find for a rejection

• Expert knowledge in claim analysis is vital in returning informed search results which will prevent unnecessary rejections

• Any new invention information added to a disclosure after filing will not inherit the priority date of the original disclosure. A professional patent search allows you to refine your disclosure to address the closest prior art before your original submission

• The patent process is expensive to begin with, having incrementing expenses of appeals and litigation resulting from failing to find and account for relevant references is an avoidable issue
