Why teams switch
Most IP reports ask you to take their word for it. Ours do not.
01
The method ships with the report
Strings, classification codes, databases, date ranges — and the queries that returned nothing. Your team can verify any conclusion or extend the work without starting over.
1,284 references screened
02
Reviewed twice, by specialists
A domain-matched analyst runs the work; a second reviewer is paid to attack the conclusion. Sequence searches go to biologists, claim charts to engineers who know the product.
2 analysts on every matter
03
Built to survive scrutiny
Every citation is archived, every exclusion reasoned. Deliverables are structured for oppositions, IPRs, board decks and regulators — whoever checks the work next.

Frequently asked
Questions, answered.
The things clients ask before the first engagement. Anything else, send it over — you will get an answer, not a proposal.
Ask us directlyPatentability, invalidity and FTO searches land in two to five business days, and expedited work starts at 24 hours. Drafting and prosecution support run three to seven days, evidence-of-use charts five to ten, rapid tox searches and literature reviews three to ten. Landscapes, database migrations and IP audits are scoped per engagement. We commit to a date before starting, and if the date is not realistic we say so on the first call rather than missing it later.
The report, the raw working file, and the complete search log — every string, classification code, database and date range, including the queries that returned nothing. Your team can verify any conclusion or extend the work without briefing us again.
A domain-matched analyst, reviewed by a second analyst whose job is to attack the first one's conclusion. A sequence search goes to someone with a molecular biology background; a chemical safety report goes to a qualified toxicologist; a claim chart goes to an engineer who knows the product category. You will know both names.
Order now is for fixed-scope work — a patentability search, a claim chart, a literature search — where the brief form is enough to start. Contact us is for engagements that need a conversation first, like a database migration, directed prosecution or an IP audit. Both go to the same team, and either way you get a written scope and fee before anything starts.
Fixed scope, fixed fee, agreed in writing before anything starts. Revisions inside that scope cost nothing — they are our problem, not yours. There are no open-ended retainers and no hourly surprises.
Yes. Everything you send is treated as confidential, access is limited to the team on your matter, and we will sign your NDA rather than asking you to sign ours. Disclosure-sensitive searching can be run under a separate protocol on request.
For drafting, prosecution, docketing and claim charts, yes — we draft in your house style with tracked changes on, and deliver in the format your docket expects. Most law firm clients find our output goes straight into their workflow without reformatting.
