SciTech Patent Art works closely with many IP analysts and managers in corporates as well as law firms. We conduct patentability searches, invalidation searches, freedom-to-operate searches, patent prosecution and prosecution tracking services. Since the searches conducted have legal implications, the rigor expected by these clients is high. To match our clients’ expectations, SPA’s analysts go through extensive search training in multiple database usage, keyword identification, class-code identification, and search strategy development. In a typical year, SPA analysts conduct more than 1,000 highly targeted searches for patent professionals.
