Patentability Search
Know before you spend.
An examiner-grade search that tells you honestly whether your idea is worth pursuing.
The most expensive mistake in patenting
Filing a full application for an idea that was never patentable. Thousands of dollars and months of effort — gone on day one, because nobody checked what already exists.
An examiner’s search, working for you
Before any examiner allows a patent, they search existing patents, published applications, and technical literature for “prior art.” We run that same caliber of search for you first — performed by someone who did it professionally for a decade.
- Comprehensive coverage. Patents, published applications, and non-patent literature — not a quick keyword skim.
- A straight answer. A plain-English opinion: pursue it, refine it, or save your money. We tell you honestly, even when the answer is no.
- A head start if you proceed. Knowing the prior art up front lets us draft claims that steer around it — making the eventual application stronger and faster.
Who it’s for
Anyone with an idea and a decision to make — before spending on a full application, pitching investors, or committing a budget.
