State-of-art-search or prior art search is important to decide the status of technology with reference to advancement in the field. This search is conducted with a specific end goal to get closely relevant prior art, patents, and/or published patent applications that are equivalent to the specific technology.

Primarily the prior art search or state-of-art search helps the client to list down the state-of-art of technology, create ideas for research & development, reduce the investment in R&D, identify technical answers to problems, assess particular innovations, and watch the technological trends.

The search is carried out on subscribed patent databases that cover patents,  and prior arts from around the globe. Apart from the patent database, we search for prior art from various non-patent literature such as academic papers, books, journals, product literature, and online and offline publications. The search report cites details of the relevant patent/prior art documents, along with our detailed analysis of the same. The result of a  search report is provided within 5-7 days.
