Our Services
The patent database is the largest collection of human knowledge covering the whole range of technologies. At Acumen IP, we use our knowledge in technology and patent law and more than 15 years of experience in an efficient way to help patent attorneys, companies, and innovators in the following patent searches.
Clearance and Freedom-to-operate/ Infringement Search
This search requires a deep understanding of technology and patent law. Through FTO searches, we identify features and characteristics of a new product, process, or service defined by clients.
Patentability/ Novelty Search
By conducting a comprehensive pre-filing search, our search results provide a strong basis for rendering a meaningful patentability opinion regarding the novelty of an invention and the likelihood of obtaining optimum patent protection.
Competitor Analysis/ Assignee Search
Acumen IP experts provide a unique competitor analysis search to determine what the competitors are filing for, what technology areas they are most active on, or what specific patents to be avoided.
Artificial Intelligence for Intellectual Property
The number of artificial intelligence (AI) patent applications received annually by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) more than doubled from 2002 to 2018, according to a new report published by the USPTO. At Acumen IP we offer an established expertise in AI related searches.
Validity/ Invalidity Search
For validity or invalidity searches our expert searchers in Acumen IP conduct a thorough study of the patent at issue to understand all disclosed and claimed technological features.
State-of-the-Art Search
State-of-the-art search is the broadest patent search available. This type of search is a great resource for innovators and companies to find out about various matrix and data statistics for a target technology of interest or identify targer partners.
Non-Patent Literature Search (NPL)
Acumen IP is among the few firms that can conduct broad non-patent literature searches of your interest, courtesy of our proximity to the National Library of Medicine and the Library of Congress in Washington D.C.
