Sanity Search™: a quick, summary search of online resources of patent
and technical information, including, as a minimum, the US patent office database
and the European Espacenet database. Goal is to provide a sanity check for the
tech manager or inventor, prior to investing further time and money in a candidate
project. Thus, we try to uncover any readily available patent documents published
on certain key online databases, documents that should be considered early in the
inventing process.
Cost: $159; benefit: potentially saving $thousands in misdirected development.
Novelty Search: a more thorough search of online resources of patent and
technical information, including, as a minimum, the US patent office database and
the European Espacenet database. Goal is to uncover any published patent documents
on certain key online databases in order to answer the questions: is the invention new?
Cost: $299; Benefit: provides the confidence that the invention is most probably new and therefore has the potential of being patentable in at least certain countries.
Patentability Search: a thorough search of online resources of patent and
technical information, including, as a minimum, the US patent office database and
the European Espacenet database. Goal is to uncover any published patent documents
that describe inventions that could affect the patentability of your invention
- not just is the invention new, but is it unobvious as well and thus patentable?
Cost: $599; Benefit: provides the confidence that, if nothing particularly
pertinent is found, the invention is most probably patentable in most countries.
Patentability Opinion: an opinion, based on at least a patentability search
result, prepared by a patent agent or attorney, as to the likelihood of whether
meaningful patent protection may be available for the invention.
Cost: $799; Benefit: provides a professional analysis of patentability,
suitable for determining whether the investment associated with preparing and
filing a patent application is justified. It may also provide evidence of
patentability satisfactory to potential investors and partners.
Further, we guarantee that the search will be:
1. a diligent effort to uncover relevant patent information from national online databases of patent information; and
2. a good value for the price charged.
We guarantee that a patentability opinion will be:
1. prepared by a patent expert (an attorney or agent);
2. based on a reasonable interpretation of any uncovered prior art documents; and
3. a good value for the price charged.
If you're not satisfied with the result anytime in the 30 day period after the
search is performed, contact us explaining why you’re not satisfied, and we’ll
work with the searcher in an effort to resolve the dispute within two weeks. If
we can't correct the problem within 30 days, we will give you a full refund.
