The research your matter calls for.

Start with the claim, the existing record and the deadline. We scope the investigation around the technical questions your team needs answered.

01

Deep invalidity search

For a claim set that needs a sustained investigation.

Research across worldwide patents, technical literature, standards and relevant original-language material. Follow the disclosure into adjacent fields where the same mechanism may have appeared earlier.

  • Limitation-by-limitation claim chart
  • Source passages, pinpoints and supporting materials
  • Publication evidence and known-reference screening
  • Coverage, alternatives and unresolved questions
02

Post-grant research package

For counsel preparing a reexamination request or IPR petition.

A research package organized around the claims, references and source record counsel identifies. The search and documentation support the team’s filing preparation.

  • Charted references and supporting exhibits
  • Date evidence and original-language materials
  • Explicit distinctions between express disclosure and inference
  • Recorded review of quotations, pinpoints and gaps
03

Targeted technical investigation

For a difficult limitation or a search that needs another direction.

Take a focused question into non-English documents, older technical vocabulary, standards, archived manuals or software implementation history. Available directly to counsel and as a scoped research engagement for search firms.

  • A clearly defined technical question
  • Review of the references already in hand
  • Evidence for the selected limitation
  • A written account of what remains unsupported

Fees & timing

A fixed fee.
A clear scope.

Claim scope, research depth, source requirements and deadline determine the quote. We agree the deliverable, fee and delivery date in writing before work begins.

Send the public patent number, claims of interest and deadline to begin scoping. If a deadline requires a narrower investigation, that limitation belongs in the proposal.

What to inspect before commissioning a search.

Can you reach the original passage?

Our examples expose the quotation, reference and pinpoint. The delivered package includes the supporting source material.

Are uncertainties visible?

Our scored example shows why the warning-state limitation remains arguable, even where neighboring limitations have stronger support.

Who directs and reviews the search?

An engineer directs the investigation and reviews the work. A fresh model performs a separate QA pass, with its verdict recorded.

Is the scope explicit?

The proposal identifies the claims, expected deliverable, research boundaries, fee and delivery date.

Inspect an example before deciding

Start with the technical question

Have a patent and a deadline?

Tell us the patent, claims of interest and timing. We will confirm the scope, fixed fee and delivery date before work begins.
