Patentability Search
A validity search is designed to locate prior art patents which predates the effective filing date of the patent being investigated and which may be used to challenge the validity of the claims in that patent. A proper validity search will address each and every claim of the patent under scrutiny, and all relevant patents discovered will be reviewed in Shepherd’s Citations to assist you in your analysis. A validity search can serve as a basis for a legal opinion against infringement or as due diligence prior to selling or license a patent. File wrappers can be obtained and reviewed when authorized.

State of the Art Search
A state of the art search is directed to finding patents that represent the general state of art (technology) of a particular type of invention or subject matter. A state of the art search is similar to a collection search but the searcher is allowed judgment in selecting patents. This type of search normally locates patents from the last 15 to 20 years, including published patent applications.
A technical literature search involves the review of non-patent documents from online computer databases. The non-patent documents may include magazines, newspapers, journals, and other documents.

Infringement Search
An infringement search normally involves a careful review of unexpired U.S. patents to locate claims which read on the invention at issue. Additionally, analogous art areas are also investigated and supplied to assist you to address the issue of contributory infringement. The most relevant patents will be reviewed in Shepherd’s Citations to assist you in your analysis.
