From a simple CAS Number lookup to a comprehensive
prior art search, the Science IP Research Team can deliver the scientific
and technical information you need, when you need it. Our staff have
years of experience in meeting the information needs from many areas
of science and industry. Here’s how we can help:
Patent Attorneys
We understand that time is critical to you. We have designed our
service to provide comprehensive and efficient research results,
quickly and to your specifications—saving you time and effort.
Our research staff have extensive experience working with attorneys
and understand your research needs regarding patentability, infringement,
validity, freedom to operate/practice, prior art, and state of the
art searches. Let us take some of the burden of your research effort
off your shoulders.
Information Professionals
Science IP is an excellent resource for information professionals
who are “maxed out” and in need of additional search
support for their clients.
When unanticipated research has stretched your capacity, we will
work directly with you to produce high quality results that you
can count on. You can be confident that the research that you pass
on to your clients will meet your standards. We will strive to work
seamlessly with you so that you can provide a finished product to
your clients, with minimal effort on your part.
Backed by dozens of scientists with in-depth knowledge of many
areas of science, our Research Team may also be able to assist with
searches for scientific topics with which you are not familiar.
Top
Licensing Professionals
The right research can make all the difference for your
next big licensing deal. We can find the technology you need
to bring
your
project to market faster. We can also help you locate interested
parties if you have technology that you would like to out-license.
On our staff, we have experts in patent analysis who will
help you identify joint partners, universities and non-profit
organizations
with technology interests similar to your own.
Competitive Intelligence Professionals
Developing competitive strategy requires the most up-to-date and
comprehensive research possible.
We have trained, competitive and technical intelligence
experts on our staff who can help you with your SWOT analysis
and Key Intelligence
Topics (KITs). We can provide technical information to assist
with a better understanding of your competitors by analyzing
their
most currently updated patent portfolios and research publications.
We can also provide current awareness services to ensure that you
are constantly getting the latest information on your technology
of interest. We can look critically at technologies that are important
to your industry and provide an overview of the major players in
the field, along with their competitive positions.
Top
R & D Managers
In order to make critical decisions about which research projects
to pursue, our staff can provide data from the latest patents and
published journal articles from many areas of science and technology
(with access to the full text, if needed) to help you decide which
of several different research possibilities has the most technical
potential.
It is also critically important that you understand what is occurring
outside of your company in each of your vested research areas. We
can provide you with current awareness profiles on the developments
in those technologies that may have an impact on your current projects.
When it’s time to start filing patents, we can also help
you put together the research needed to construct the strongest
possible protection for your project.
Inventor
In order to expedite the patenting process, you need to understand
all of the prior art that is similar to your invention. Your attorney
is going to need this information to draft the best possible claims
for you. We understand that the patenting process can be long and
tedious—we can help make it easier by providing the information
you are going to need to provide the strongest possible claims for
your invention.
Small to Medium Enterprise
The information professionals you need to move your project forward
may not be available at your organization. We can assist by providing
research to support: patenting activities; R & D decision making;
strategic technical planning and current awareness. We can act as
your research department.
