Yes. Crimson Insights can deliver a patent invalidity search within a week, subject to confirmation of the search scope and availability. Share the patent, selected claims, technology, known references, and required delivery date so we can confirm the engagement and reporting schedule.
The agreed scope determines what will be investigated and delivered within that timeframe.
Define the search around the claims that matter
A clear brief helps us direct research toward the technical issues counsel needs to resolve. The search may focus on selected claims, particular limitations, or gaps in the known prior art.
At the outset, we discuss the patent, relevant dates, technical context, and expected deliverables. This establishes a common understanding of the work to be completed within the week.
Provide the information needed to start
When requesting a one-week search, send:
- The patent number and claims to be searched.
- The required delivery date and time zone.
- Relevant dates and assumptions supplied by counsel.
- Known references and any earlier search results.
- The technical features requiring particular attention.
- Your reporting and claim-mapping requirements.
A complete brief reduces the need to resolve basic scope questions after research begins.
Agree the reporting requirements
Depending on the engagement, results can include relevant references, passages, figures, date information, and observations explaining their potential relevance.
If you need claim-by-claim mapping, specify that when requesting the search. The quotation and schedule should reflect the agreed reporting format and level of detail.
Review promising findings while research continues
Where agreed, Crimson can provide rolling results during the search. This gives counsel an opportunity to review promising references before final delivery and discuss unresolved technical features.
The timing and content of interim reporting are agreed for the particular matter.
Confirm any source or retrieval constraints
Some research paths may require additional time—for example, obtaining historical documents, resolving document versions, or reviewing foreign-language material.
We discuss relevant scope constraints when agreeing the engagement. Any outstanding retrieval or date questions should remain clear in the reporting rather than being treated as resolved solely to meet a deadline.
Obtain a fixed-fee quotation
Crimson offers fixed-fee patent invalidity search engagements. Fees depend on the number of claims and the technology involved.
Include your one-week deadline when requesting a quotation so we can discuss the scope, availability, and delivery requirements together.
Request a one-week invalidity search
Contact Crimson Insights with the patent, selected claims, known references, and required delivery date to confirm a one-week search engagement.
The delivery commitment covers the agreed research and reporting; it does not guarantee that the search will identify prior art sufficient for a particular legal outcome.
