Computer Science

Swift innovation. It’s a defining trait of the computer science industry. From transactional computing to logics, database management, e-commerce, and beyond, the patented realm of computer science is vast and ever changing.

For companies grounded in this field, staying abreast of the changing technological and legal landscape is a matter of survival.

At TPR, we provide our clients with in-depth, meaningful searches that provide the insight to help make well-considered business decisions. But the task isn’t easy. Computer science searches are rife with unique challenges. Searchers must be aware of the roles different operating systems, software, and their associated features play in the patent landscape.

Computer science is an area where non-patent literature searching often produces highly impactful results, even over patent searching. In such cases, a searcher with an expert knowledge of computer systems or software and a strong grasp on the defined novelty will have a keen sense of where to look within non-patent literature sources.

Because this search field is so demanding, we only hire the best. Members of our computer science team hold a technical degree within the field, as well as several years of professional searching experience in computer science, software development, and patent and information searching.
