Do Your Own Preliminary Patent Search

We strongly encourage our clients to conduct a preliminary patent search for their invention prior to meeting with us to avoid needless expenses or to waste time.  An additional benefit of conducting a preliminary patent search is that it causes our clients to identify the key, novel features of their invention.

To conduct a preliminary Patent Search we recommend the following

1:       Standard Search Engine searching using Google or MSN
2:       Visit USPTO website
3:       Visit World Intellectual Property Organization website
4:       Visit European Patent Office
5:       Visit Canadian Intellectual Property Office
6:       Visit Delphion (free registration required)
