PATENT SEARCHES

When a patent application is filed, a three part test is run on the ideas within the patent application to determine if a patent should be granted.  These tests are:

 

1)  Is the Idea New?

2)  Is the Idea Useful?

3)  Is the Idea Non-obvious?

 

To satisfy inventors needs to find out if an idea is new (test 1), Vereb Law Group PLLC can perform a patent search.  These searches use different databases to determine what the materials are that are related to the ideas within the technology  Often times, performing a search will allow an inventor peace of mind before preparing and filing a formal patent application.  We use state of the art technology and several databases and sources to perform our search including governmental databases, international databases, intergovernmental databases as well as other search tools.

 

We offer these services at very competitive rates compared to typical law firms.  Since we are extremely familiar with mechanical, electrical and consumer products, we can quickly and efficiently define the state of the art within the technology range and inform you of the results.
