Non-Patent Literature

What makes a non-patent literature search conducted by TPR unique? In a word: results. Our experts have the experience and the know-how to conduct tailored, efficient searches that deliver meaningful results to fit your purpose.

In the quest to find truly relevant, business-impacting results for patentability, validity and other purposes, you must delve into the vast databases and libraries of non-patent literature. The likelihood is that you'll quickly find a number of pertinent references dropping out from the endless pool of information available.  It seems deceptively easy, but the challenge is twofold:

• To search at a deeper and broader level to cast a wider safety net; and

• To filter, review in context and organize the reference to present an answer set that accurately and more fully represents the field of published art.

We have proven effective methods of scouring online and/or printed scientific journals, research publications, university theses, and other relevant international sources to provide you with a thorough understanding of existing prior art according to the level of detail required for your purpose, whether from an overview perspective, or to the extent of leaving virtually no stone unturned.
