Type of our Japanese Patent Search
Whether you need a thorough prior art search (patent search) for either offensive or defensive patent litigation, or you need information to decide the novelty/validity of an invention, we can help.
The annual 450,000 Japanese patent publications represent about half of the searchable patent prior art. Even if you have already had a perfect prior art search in English (US, PCT and Europe), you may miss about 50% of the total patent applications filed worldwide if you do not search in Asia.
Searches We Provide:
- Validity Search
- Right-to-Use Search
- Novelty / Patentability Search
- State-of-the-Art Search
