Are you considering protecting your innovation by filing a patent or registering a design or trade mark? ProspectIP Search gives you an accurate picture of the intellectual property (IP) potential in your innovation, together with an understanding of any competing IP.

ProspectIP Search

ProspectIP Search can save you from wasting time and money on developing IP that 'reinvents the wheel' or that has limited commercial potential. Knowledge of existing IP, termed Prior-Art, and intelligence on your competitors helps you avoid infringement and provides the opportunity to make your IP as unique and valuable as possible. Our service covers a variety of searches for patents, registered designs and trade marks, including:

  • Patentability search 
  • State-of-the-art search
  • Validity / invalidity search
  • Freedom-to-operate / infringement search
  • Industrial designs search
  • Trade mark search

Our search services start with a simple brief from you and once complete generate a detailed, professional and easy-to-interpret report which provides valuable information on competitors, any innovation development issues, and the details of any identified Prior Art.

Our search reports also help to identify potential licensees or patents your organisation may wish to license, along with expert insight into how your innovative products and processes can be best developed in the future.
