At SciTech Patent Art, our Prior Art and Landscape services blend deep technical expertise with smart search strategies to deliver insights that fuel innovation. Whether it’s for R&D, IP strategy, or competitive analysis, we map out the relevant patent and non-patent literature with clarity and precision. Our analysts go beyond surface-level results to uncover patterns, gaps, and opportunities—helping clients confidently shape their next moves in a fast-evolving tech landscape.
Landscape searches are conducted to answer questions such as the following:
What is the current state-of-the art in my technology of interest? And what opportunities exist for future research?
Many R&D and technology development clients, before embarking on a new development program, be it a new technology, product or service, would like to understand what has been done already and what problems still remain to be solved. This is where a state-of-the-art / landscape search helps. We look at both patents and scientific publications to provide a broad picture of the technology’s evolutionary background, types of problems that have been solved, approaches used, and issues with a technology that have still not been resolved.
