Solid Prior Art is the critical bedrock to your patent challenges. For IPR you only have one shot to provide the strong evidence needed to enable the petition to be instituted with reasonable likelihood that one or more claims are unpatentable.

Our searches combine deep subject matter knowledge, a keen understanding of patent office trials and a multi-pronged approach to locate indisputable prior art references no matter where they are hiding.
