Why Choose Me to Do Your Patent Searches
For patent searches, especially validity searches, the quality of search results largely depends on the domain knowledge, the search acumen, and the work ethic of the searcher conducting the search. Additionally, I think professional searchers who have used the patent search tool called “EAST” (which stands for Examiner Automated Search Tool) -- which is available on the workstations at the Public Search Facility of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in Alexandria, VA -- will agree with me that the “EAST” tool, primarily due to its host workstation's dedicated data line connection to the massive patent database at USPTO via the USPTO's closed network, is categorically faster, and thus is categorically more powerful and effective, than other online patent search tools (e.g. LexisNexis, USPTO and Google online patent search tools, to just name a few) run on home or office computers with merely broadband Internet connections, rather than dedicated data line connections, to their respective backend patent databases.
Point blank, I have the domain knowledge, the search acumen and the work ethic needed to produce high-quality search results. Prior to becoming a patent practitioner, I had 12 years of productive and rewarding industrial experience as a computer engineer. As a result, I possess in-depth domain knowledge in various electrical arts that many patent searchers do not possess. Having conducted hundreds of patent searches, I have developed immense search acumen, as is evidenced by his mastery of improvised use of combinations of search techniques available in the EAST tool to turn up quality search results. Furthermore, I am willing to go the extra mile to cover all the bases for clients in efforts to generate search results that allow client to make informed decisions. Hence, I have the domain knowledge, the search acumen and the work ethic needed to produce high-quality search results.
Additionally, we are conveniently located within close proximity to the Public Search Facility of the USPTO -- therefore have easy access to the aforementioned all-mighty EAST search tool – and within close proximity to the Library of Congress, which is an ideal place for searching non-patent literature prior art that is known to be critical for many validity searches.
Combining these advantages, we are uniquely positioned to effectively serve your vital patent search needs.
