Crimson Insights | Prior Art Search Firm
We will discover prior art which will invalidate the subject patent or limit its scope. An invalidation search by a good prior art search firm is the first defensive step that can be taken by any company faced with an infringement law suit. A validation search on the other hand is conducted to check the strength of the patent claims before going in for a potential licensing deal.
The main difference between a prior art search and an invalidation/validation search is that in case of a prior art search, the search period is restricted prior to a particular date.
A patent invalidity search / validity search is generally considered more challenging from the searcher’s point of view. From the client’s point of view, the financial stakes involved are much higher. Needless to say, an invalidation / validation search is a very critical of patent litigation.

Patent Search Firm
Our search methodology is unparalleled. While working with you, we will make sure that two different teams work on your case. This way we would make sure that we get two different perspectives on the search strategy being used. This is as good as getting your search done from two different patent search firms at the cost of one! We will conduct detailed white board discussions to dissect the technology being described in the patent document. We have in house technology experts who hold PhDs and Masters from the top universities around the world. Still, we do not shy away from hiring technology experts in that particular technology domain in case of need. We will make sure that we are in total coherence with the technology of the patent before beginning our search. What good is a search, if one does not know what to look for? So, we will go beyond just identifying the novelty of the invention. We will try to understand the whole technology background involved. This includes gathering enough technical know-how to think from the perspective of the invention, identifying the top companies and researchers who might have published in that domain and identifying citation evolution trends etc.
