Patentability Search
A patentability search provides a "snapshot" of the field of invention and typically delivers an indication of the state of the art pertaining to the field of the invention.
Trademark Search
A trademark search ascertains whether a mark is clear of trademark registrations or other current marketing devices.
Preparation and Prosecution of Patent Applications
While called an "application" in the vernacular, a patent application is actually a detailed specification usually including several drawings which are used describe an invention clearly and unambiguously. This standard is required by the United States Patent and Trademark Office for a patent to be granted. (Click here for more information)
Preparation and Prosecution of Applications for Trademark Registration
A trademark application includes a drawing of the mark being sought to be registered and describes the extent of products and/or services to which the mark is applicable. In addition, the manner in which the mark is used in conjunction with the products and/or services is also described. For a mark already being used in commerce, the date of first use of the mark anywhere and the date of first use in interstate commerce are required. For a mark not yet used in commerce, an intent-to-use application is filed which should describe the full extent of potential products and services for which the mark will be used in interstate commerce.
