Patent Research

The Patent Process can be expensive, so the last thing you want to do is spend a lot of money developing your Invention Idea and beginning the Patent Process before ensuring that your Invention Idea indeed is a viable candidate for a patent. We understand that Intellectual Property research requires more than the ability to search various databases and articles, so we have a diverse team of researchers that analyze every keyword of the claim to obtain quality results. Our patent search reports are competitively priced and come with commentary on each cited patent - not just a list of patent numbers. Bandacorp provides prompt, thorough and cost- effective patent research services of U.S. and foreign patents and non-patent prior art. We provide search of issued patents, published patent applications and information in the public domain that might be considered important "prior art" references when applying for a patent.

Our Patent Search services include:

. Novelty Search: Focuses in the most unique details of your invention idea and its most patentable features, pinpointing published information that is relevant to your invention.

. Patent Collection Search: A collection of all locatable Intellectual Property relevant to your topic will be made. A chart listing each located patent and specifying which criteria are relevant will be created if you provide a multiple search criteria.

. State of the Art Search: An overview of the current technology in a specific area and assortment of Intellectual Property in the general field will be also provided.

. Infringement Search: Determine whether your invention idea infringes a valid patent in the region where you intend to manufacture or sell your product. We will also look for un-expired patents with claims that may bar you from making, using or selling a product.

. Right to Use Search: A patent infringement search. Intellectual Property that is relevant to your invention, including those patents that have expired will be included.

. Validity Search: Validity search determines if the invention idea is worth pursuing from a patentability standpoint. Our thorough validity search provides patent and non-patent Intellectual property that the reference patent will be based.

. Landscape Search: A broad overview of a technology or industry over time by including both the expired and un-expired patents as references.

. Non-Patent Literature Search: Just like a patent publication, non-patent publications are also prior art because they also in the public domain. We search non-patent publications and literature in over 100 US databases and other online resources.
