Patent searches are performed for a variety of reasons, including:
You can conduct a free patent search at the patent office web sites such as the USPTO web site and the esp@cenet page of the European patent office. The free sites are a great place to begin your exploration of the patent literature. Type in a couple of relevant keywords, click search, and browse the results. For more details, visit the How to Search Page. After you've spent some time on these systems you'll begin to see their limitations. Slow response time, limited query size, cumbersome download mechanism, etc. This is where we can help. At Atlimatia we have access to the latest commercial patent searching tools. Tools which allow us to quickly sift patent data and identify the results you need. For more information please contact us. Our contact information is listed at the bottom of every page.
