Searching & Analysis

From prior art and freedom-to-operate searches to patent landscape analysis, we help clients gain a clearer picture of innovation potential in a specific technology space so that they can focus their R&D efforts for maximum return. Our invalidity searching with opinion service adds value to companies by identifying prior art that can be used to invalidate a third-party patent, or prior art that may be used to attack a client's patent rights in the case of infringement actions.

From national applications to international rights, our network of patent attorneys specialises in negotiating the grant of a patent with the relevant patent offices to remove the burden from in-house teams while ensuring that the strength of the resulting patent is maintained. Our presence throughout Europe ensures we can file national and European patents, including unitary patent and EP validations, strictly adhering to set timeframes and formalities, including translations and priority claims to an earlier filed foreign or PCT application.
