Inventive Step, Ltd.

Our core service since inception, no one performs a better patent search than we do. Utilizing Clarivate Analytic’s proprietary search engine, Thomson Innovation, our searches are thorough and methodical, and cover patentability through invalidation.

The search report we provide indicates the databases and classifications that were covered, and which search terms were used. Relevant text is cited from the patent documents in the search results, clearly showing the significance of each document.

Use our search report to raise funds from investors, to determine whether to start (or continue) the patenting process or to understand the state of the art of a certain technology.

The life of a patent begins once the decision to draft the application is made. But there are so many critical steps and key decisions to be made along the way.

Let Inventive Step take over the responsibility of ensuring that your patent survives and thrives.

We will:

- Draft and file your patent application
- Prepare response arguments to the Examiner during Prosecution
- Manage your IP Portfolio
- Strategize – determine what to protect and where to protect it

Are you looking to raise capital? Do you want to license or sell a patent? Is your patent being infringed and you are considering litigation?

These are just some of the reasons why you might be interested in finding out how much your patent portfolio is worth.

There are literally dozens of quantitative and qualitative methods that can be used for patent valuation. No single tool can be relied upon exclusively. We employ multiple techniques, both well known and lesser known, to help you understand the value of your patents.
