Prior Art Search (Pre-application Search / Pre-examination request Search)

Let's proceed with a patent application without mistakes by conducting a preliminary search.

It costs a lot of money to apply for a patent and request examination of an application.For these reasons, it is very important to determine in advance whether an application and a request for examination of an application should be filed for the subject invention.We will investigate the current leading technology in the relevant field and provide the necessary information to decide whether to file an application and request examination of the application.

We will provide a report listing the prior documents extracted based on the set research viewpoint.
Compare the claims to be investigated with the contents of the extracted gazette.Since the purpose of the search is clear, we will respond promptly and with the minimum cost by omitting the proposal of the search standard and confirming the quotation before placing an order.The search formula for the search will be included in the report.We will report only a few highly relevant publications, not all related publications.The extraction gazette will be delivered together with the PDF.


* Pre-application search is also called "application prior art search," "novelty search," or "publicly known case search."
