Unmatched access to best-in-class sources
in Alexandria, Virginia, we are just steps from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). We can perform patent searches on the same databases used by the U.S. patent examiners (EAST and WEST databases), and our close proximity to the USPTO allows us to better discuss particularly difficult search strategies with patent examiners. Furthermore, we have full access to our industry-leading patent products including Derwent Innovation®, Aureka and Derwent World Patent Index®, and use the information sources best suited to answer your particular business question.
