Why technology searches?
If a new, hitherto unknown field of technology is being contemplated, a technology search is a frequently chosen starting point. For us, a technology search is the first step in building up an extensive knowhow on the situation with regards to property rights in a new technical field. Later, we usually employ monitoring of the competition and, in the case of a finished product, an FTO analysis, to build on this knowledge. The technology search also allows appropriate subject areas for new inventions to be identified at an early stage.
Technology search is one of our specialties. We integrate them into a system of continuous monitoring of the competition and regular FTO analyses. Make use of the opportunity which this offers to your development of products.
A meaningful search is time-consuming and the approach depends heavily on the objective. Our patent attorneys advise companies, inventors and start-ups on patent searches in all technical fields and assist in the development of search strategies. We also use non-official, fee-based patent and specialist databases, which offer more comprehensive search options and support in the preparation and statistical analysis of search results. This enables a more targeted and cost-efficient search.
