Patent Research
Efficient patent search and patent development for new inventions
State of the art analysis
If you are working on a new invention, you should check the state of the art and existing patents in good time before investing a lot of time in developing a product. Only by checking a patent register to ensure that your invention has not yet been officially registered , for example , can you reduce the risk of unnecessarily working on a development that already exists.
A prior-art search helps to differentiate your own invention from existing patents and to explain the differences that justify the new patent in the patent application . With a well-founded patent search, you can assess the chances of success of a patent application in advance and at the same time prevent the risk of infringing third-party property rights.
International Patent Research
When researching patents, you face the challenge that you cannot limit yourself to the regional or national market, but also have to include the worldwide patent applications. The German Patent and Trademark Office is not only responsible for patent protection in Germany. For patent research, for example in Germany, Europe, the USA or China, you need access to a wide variety of offices and organizations. Comprehensive patent databases provide you with information on patents from all over the world under one surface.
