At Kramer IP Search, we perform in-depth searches across the most relevant patent classes and subclasses according to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) Classification Schedule. We combine database searching with manual searching on-site at the USPTO, along with using the resources of our own considerable library network. But we also are renowned for our expertise in finding non-patent literature to provide a broader view of prior art and support invalidity arguments.
Our team addresses the needs of a wide range of clientele, from individual inventors and start-up companies to Fortune 500 corporations. We also offer our uniquely varied and stringent search services to other intellectual property law firms around the world. Our areas of expertise include patentability, novelty, and prior art searches; infringement searches; clearance, validity and state-of-the-art searches.
