Other,‌ ‌Custom‌ ‌Searches‌

Searching for references attributed to a particular inventors, authors, or assignees may seem simple at first glance. However, unexpected challenges (such as variations in name syntax, translated non-English names, or multiple names for a corporation and its divisions or affiliates), can result in missed information. Trust TPR experts to avoid the pitfalls and provide accurate results.

TPR can perform on-demand searches of legal status information throughout the patent lifecycle, as well as provide patent watches to alert you whenever there is a change in the legal status of a patent.

TPR follows the USPTO search requirements and template to cover pertinent classes and resources. The in-depth results of our Accelerated Examination searches are presented in a Pre-Examination Search Document that clearly sets out the sources searched, the date the search was conducted, classifications covered, and the search logic used.

Through our connections with eminent libraries worldwide, we can conduct investigations to provide evidence of the date a particular journal or publications was received in a library as shown by the library date stamp. This can be used to establish the date an article was available to the public.

Not all articles are accessible in secondary publication sources such as online databases, and certainly not always in the full-text. For high-stakes intellectual property disputes that hinge on uncovering a unique hidden reference, TPR searchers can conduct page-turning searches of books, journals, product specifications and other publications in multiple languages and countries for elusive prior art that can make all the difference to your case.

Bodies such at the FDA and EMEA require certain regulatory reports regarding drug safety, etc. Systematic Reviews are special reports that are required within the pharmaceutical and therapeutics industry. TPR has a team of biomedical experts that searches and compiles these and other reports needed for research, competitive intelligence purposes and safety compliance.
