In professional patent searches, experts check whether there is relevant prior art in various databases. This makes it easier to assess the chances of success of one's own patent applications. For this purpose, various databases (e.g. from the German Patent and Trade Mark Office or the European Patent Office) are checked worldwide. In the second step, patent attorneys compile the collected information and start a comprehensive analysis.

We also offer FTO analyses (freedom-to-operate analyses), in which existing property rights of third parties are searched for and examined in detail. This prevents the infringement of third party property rights. Further information on the FTO analysis
