Protect your intellectual property with worldwide novelty evaluations, comprehensive prior art queries, and Freedom to Operate reports.
Filing a patent application is a costly endeavor. If prior art already exists anywhere in the world—whether in a granted patent, a conference proceeding, or an obscure thesis—your application will face immediate rejection by patent examiners.
At IJRDO, our patent analysts and registered patent agents perform deep patentability and prior art investigations. We query global patent office registries and non-patent literature to provide an objective, data-backed assessment of your invention’s patentability prospects before you invest in formal drafting and filing.
Conducted prior to filing a patent to confirm that your discovery has not been disclosed anywhere globally in patent or non-patent literature.
Ensures your commercial product or laboratory spin-off process does not infringe active claims of third-party in-force patents.
Uncovers prior art that challenges the validity of a competitor’s granted patent during licensing disputes or litigation.
Broad survey of patenting activity in your technological field to track emerging competitors, technology trends, and R&D whitespaces.
Identify core International Patent Classification and Cooperative Patent Classification codes.
Complex keyword combinations, semantic synonyms, and assignee citation trees.
Detailed element-by-element mapping against prior art to establish inventive differences.
ALWAYS BEFORE. In most jurisdictions (such as Europe and China), any public disclosure prior to patent filing completely destroys novelty (Absolute Novelty rule). Even in the US with its 1-year grace period, third-party disclosures can imperil your claims.
Yes, absolutely. We sign a strict bilateral Non-Disclosure Agreement before receiving any technical disclosures or invention briefs.
