State-Of-Art (SOA)

A State-of-the-Art (SOA) Patent Search is designed to quickly allow the searcher to see what is currently being developed in a given field/technology. The researcher shortlists a number of patents representing specific technology and domain.

TT Consultants offers a state-of-Art search with minimum time to cover the technology domain. Depending on the needs of the client, we provide various report types. We include a searcher’s comment with each prior art, just like we do with other searches, making the report very straightforward to interpret and analyse.

A Collection Search is a more accurate term for this search due to the collection of citations working around a particular invention.

TTC has access to multiple databases for design patent search : Orbit design, Patbase, Thomson Innovation, In-house tool – XLPAT, Global Design Database, and other databases.
