Clearance Search

Clearance searches can be used:

  • For identifying whether your product or product idea violates already existing rights
  • As a clarification as to which countries possible rights apply
  • For cost savings - preventing unnecessary investments in production and marketing
  • As inspiration for modifying your product and thereby preventing violation of existing rights
     

Product characteristics

We search international patent databases on the basis of a description and drawings prepared by the customer. The scope of the search will be agreed upon in each individual case. Upon conclusion of the search, a report will be made.

The report can be customized but will normally include the following:

  • Specification of the aim of the search
  • Description of the scope of the search
  • Overview of material found, divided into categories depending on its relevance in relation to the customer’s invention
  • Search strategy and databases used for the search
     

Delivery

Delivery time is normally within 2-3 weeks.
Before starting the search a latest delivery date and a price estimate will be quoted.
