Prior Art Searches

You can tap the expertise of RKS Legal patent professionals to explore and gain meaningful insight about valuable inventions. We offer prior art searches including patent or non-patent literature carried out by our experienced professionals either limited to a specific jurisdiction of interest or with global coverage. In addition to prior art search results, on your request we also provide analysis and ready opinion (non-legal), which can be leveraged by your in-house staff to focus on the more critical and strategic tasks.

At RKS Legal our highly competent professionals carry out searches in a structured manner, using the apt database resources. With complete transparency of our process, our client can intervene and navigate the searches, and be assured of high quality at the most competitive rates.

Our researchers are trained to conduct the most exhaustive and comprehensive searches or a very narrow and specific search to suit client’s requirements and budget.
