Patent searching is a mixture of black art and science. The science comes in knowing the detailed structure of patent records across the world and understanding the technology on which the patent is based. The black art comes in exploring the myriad ways in which terminology can be adapted to cover a specific subject area without making it obvious to anybody searching the databases.

Patent law varies between countries and many products are patented in some countries and not in others. The technical details of a patent may be recorded in several different places. Our skill lies in knowing the best places to look as there is no definitive repository of world wide patent information. Findtech searchers have a particular strength in researching this area. If your clients are seeking technical information from, or wish to challenge, existing patents, our experienced staff can assist in providing the widest search coverage of the data available.
