Project Setup
After discussing the scope of your patent research project, I’ll provide a clear cost estimate, typically within a range, my projected start date, and expected completion time. Additional on-line or manual non-patent literature searches can be included upon request or if they’re necessary for your specific technology patent search request.
Deliverables
For each search, you’ll receive a comprehensive report listing the relevant patents selected, the patent classifications used and the date range of each on-line database searched. I’ll also provide copies of the selected patents. Results will be delivered electronically or as paper documents, whatever you prefer.
Highlighting the Details
If needed, I can annotate selected patents with comments, highlighting the relevant drawings, or specific text within the disclosure or claims. This additional service helps you easily understand the significance of each patent I selected.
Confidentiality & Work Guarantee
To guarantee the confidentiality of your project, I personally conduct all patent search work in-house. I never outsource to third-party providers in Canada or abroad.
