Tom Klaver IP Management offers made-to-measure patent searches, from a simple status search to an extensive validity or infringement search.
Why make use of a professional patent search service?
In view of the generally high costs of patenting the first priority is to establish whether an invention stands a chance of being patentable at all. The volume of the state-of-the art (inventions already part of the public domain) is immense, and a lot of money can be wasted on the re-invention of the wheel.
A good patent search is a specialist job. Although there are possibilities aplenty to search patent databases yourself, anything more complex than a simple keyword search is usually beond most peoples' skills. A good search requires profound knowledge of the international patent classification system as well as experience with the sometimes peculiar phraseology of patents.
Last but not least, a really thorough patent search should not just cover patent literature, but also scientific and technical literature, the access of which requires familiarity with various command language and can be quite costly.
With fifteen years of experience in the field of patent searching, Tom Klaver IP Management can provide a reliable basis for further decisions in the form of a professional search, tailored to your needs and requirements.
