Research solutions built around your decision
Patent Search & Prior Art
Find relevant patents and technical literature faster — structured, ranked, and ready for review.
Freedom-to-Operate (FTO)
Assess infringement risks before product launch, with a defensible written opinion.
Patentability Assessment
Evaluate novelty before filing, so you don't spend time and money on a claim that won't hold.
Landscape & Technology Intelligence
Discover trends, competitors, and whitespace before you decide what to file next.
Evidence & Litigation Support
Prior art, claim charts, and technical evidence built to withstand scrutiny.
Claim Charting
Element-by-element claim mapping against references and target products, built for litigation and licensing.
Depth across the domains that matter
Our team brings engineering and scientific backgrounds specific to each domain — not generalist research applied broadly.
Know what your IP portfolio is actually worth.
IP brokers price and sell portfolios on evidence, not guesswork. Universities need defensible research before filing for tech transfer. Our portfolio and valuation analysis gives you that evidence base either way.
