Researchwire offers global prior art searches to meet your patentability assessment and invalidation search needs.

Our prior art searches includes the following:
- A search of US and foreign patent documents.
- A search of patent related literature, non-patent literature and various publications, journals and databases
- Classification and keyword-based search
- Hybrid search
- Citation analysis of the relevant prior art identified
In case of invalidation searches, there are different patent laws for different countries and uncovered prior arts should conform to the laws of the concerned country. Therefore, we have an in-house team of experts to train and guide our technical researchers about relevant laws.
You only need to provide the patent number and the claims of interest and we will conduct an extensive search of US and foreign patents, publications, and technical literature.
We also conduct a foreign language search on your request to cover Japanese, Chinese and Korean prior art. We find prior-art that is within the reference patents broadest claim scope.
We also provide a report for the search which includes relevant prior arts, additional prior arts (along with bibliographic details), search strategy, key features, keywords, classes, key assignees, and key inventors.
Claim charts, which consist of a mapping of relevant prior art in relation to key features, are also provided in the report. These charts help you understand the scope of validity or invalidity of the subject patent’s claims in relation to the prior art.
