Intellectual Property and Patent Prior Art Research
We understand the importance of searching for prior art in intellectual property litigation, infringement cases, and re-examinations.

Patent data is widely available in electronic format from free and fee-based services. Search capability, currency, and error rates vary from service to service. The supporting documents listed in the prior art section may demonstrate that the technology in question is seminal or reveal the status of a patent family, filings in foreign countries, and the quality of the patent. The citation format for prior art varies in quality and is often cryptic at best.

Through our access to extensive databases and our search techniques we deliver documents reported not only in patents worldwide, but dissertations, journal articles, conference papers, meeting reports, trade press sources, and archived Web pages.

A/I resolves all copyright issues for our clients.
