IP Questor has extensive experience in conducting patent and other IP-related searches in a wide range of technical areas including biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, medical devices and physical sciences. We offer:
Prior art searches
Searches providing a preliminary indication of novelty.

Validity searches
This is a comprehensive search used to determine whether an existing patent is valid with respect to novelty or obviousness.

“Freedom to use” searches
Undertaken in respect to particular products; these searches provide an indication of the likelihood of a product infringing someone else’s IP.

Commercial searches
These searches provide information about competitors’ IP, products and activities; they may also be used to identify potential licensees.

Monitor Searches
These searches, usually undertaken on an ongoing long-term basis, provide warning of emerging IP (or other activity) in a specific area.

Bespoke Searches
We are happy to consider undertaking “special” searches (or combinations of searches) to your requirements ---- contact us for a quotation!
