There is no point in investing in a supposedly new idea if in fact it is not new.
On the other hand there it is often not necessary to invest a lot of money in full patent searches.
Often an idea can be found relatively quickly and this enables you to take the decision not to proceed further.
Preliminary Feasibility study
Our Preliminary Feasibility Study services is a preliminary product and patent search. We run these concurrently and they tend to 'dovetail' together. A company that manufactures a relevant (but not identical) product may well have taken out patents that are similar to your own project. In the same way a company -or individual- with relevant patents may have set up a business to manufacture these. As long as the data is published there is a good chance we can find it. If we can't find anything then this enables you to move on to the next stages.
Other research
We have other research expertise and can source suppliers, research papers and specialists.
