Patentability Search (Novelty Search)
A Patentability Search Service is the backbone of an effective intellectual property strategy, utilizing specialized IP Search and Patent Research. This Prior Art Search includes an intensive analysis of patents and literature databases to check if your innovation qualifies to be patented through fulfilling criteria like novelty and non-obviousness. Early detection of competing prior art—whether through a prior art search for startups or a professional novelty search for inventors—allows you to fine-tune your patenting process and avoid unnecessary expenses by not pursuing any application that does not qualify as an invention at all.
Intellect Bastion provides you with an extensive combination of smartly created AI-based search strings along with our experienced technical team to deliver premier Patent Services. Our detailed Novelty Search Reports, complete with a transparent patentability search report cost, help you plan and execute your next step effectively towards getting a patent.

Invalidation/Validation Search
As one of the best Patent Invalidity Search companies and a Patent invalidity search firm, we provide a unique defence as well as offense technique that can be used to conduct an Invalidity Search to attack the Patent Validity of an issued patent. In the process, we enable you to find gaps in a competitor’s intellectual property portfolio or validate the strength of your portfolio using prior art and Prior Art Gold that may have been ignored by the patent examiners in the initial examination. This Prior art search for patent litigation is a crucial service during any patent litigation, licensing and even in M&A due diligence.
At Intellect Bastion, we understand the power of finding the ‘smoking gun’ Evidence to invalidate patent against an opposing patent to Invalidate Patent and hence specialize in conducting such searches and providing detailed invalidity contentions and claims mapping.

Freedom to Operate (FTO) / Clearance Search
The lack of an effective Freedom to Operate (FTO) analysis for your product is equivalent to entering a mine field blindfolded. An FTO assessment involves an Infringement Search evaluating the likelihood of infringement of patents that are currently in effect within the geographical regions you are eyeing, while considering the freedom to operate analysis cost. It helps establish a "Right to Use" assessment and confirm Patent Validity that will save you from the expensive process of patent litigation, an Invalidation Search, and potential product recalls.
Intellect Bastion FTO Search Services revolve around the current claims of third party patents in particular jurisdictions to find any Evidence of Use. Our Clearance Search services help deliver effective non-infringement assessment as well as safe harbours to give your research & development department and business peace of mind.

Infringement Search / Evidence of Use (EoU)
Outshining other Prior art search companies, our Patent Infringement Search offers an offensive strategy aimed at finding products within the marketplace that infringe on your patent technology without permission. Through the examination of competing products in terms of technical specifications, we aid in discovering Evidence of Use (EoU) that can be turned into monetary gain via licensing or litigation.
The highly trained professionals of Intellect Bastion utilize Patent infringement claim mapping and Evidence of Use chart services to develop high-definition Claim Charts and an EoU Chart with detailed Claim Mapping that match the technical components of your patent claims against those of the infringing products. Regardless of whether you are developing a licensing strategy or litigating a case, our technical evidence reports contain everything you will need to secure your market position.

Patent Landscape Search
The Patent Landscape Search converts IP data into a strategic technology map through comprehensive Patent landscape analysis and Patent Mapping. By understanding Patent Trends around patent filings worldwide, competitor IP portfolio, and technology clusters through our Competitor patent monitoring services, we can help develop a 360-degree vision of your industry’s technological landscape. Such “broad” insight is an essential component for any IP Audit or overall IP Strategy process, allowing you to perform a White Space Analysis and Technology white space analysis to detect White Spaces for future innovation, maintain Competitor Monitoring, and adapt to any potential market changes.
At Intellect Bastion, we not only compile information into a report but also deliver interactive reports on our clients’ IP landscapes, including heat maps and citation networks. All this helps to connect the analysis stage to the actual implementation process, such as Patent Filing, Global Design Filing, Trademark Registration, or Copyright Registration.

Design Patentability / Industrial Design Search
In an image-driven world, the look of your product is its brand. With a Design Filing Evaluation backed by our Industrial design search services, we make sure that your Industrial Design ornamental aspects are not just unique but can be registered. We perform a thorough Design Search, a Design novelty search India, and a WIPO design patent search through the special Locarno classifications and international design databases for any "confusingly similar" earlier design, which might prevent your filing.
We work with our experts at Intellect Bastion on comparative visuals to outline your Intellectual Property Strategy, ensuring that you get Design Patents or Industrial Design Registrations that are both legitimate and profitable. This pre-filing step is critical if you're about to do a Patent Filing, Trademark Registration, or Copyright Registration.

Non-Patent Literature (NPL) Search
In many cases, the most important prior art is not available in a patent office; it is locked up in some journal article, conference paper, or industry manual. Through our NPL Search (Non-Patent Literature) and targeted Scientific literature search for patents, we will dig into academia and other technical literature sources to discover references that preceded the filing of patents. This kind of NPL Search and NPL prior art search for invalidation is often essential for those Patent invalidity search companies who need to establish a truly unique "state of the art" and successfully carry out invalidity contentions.
Intellect Bastion uses advanced deep web searches and access to high-quality academic sources to identify such crucial technical information. We make sure that this type of deep analysis is seamlessly incorporated into your broader Intellectual Property Strategy, providing you with a foolproof framework before embarking on an international Patent Filing, IP Audit, or any other Patent Search journey (which can also complement a Sequence Search, Design Search, or Industrial Design evaluation).

Biological Sequence & Genetic Prior Art Search
A Biological Sequence Search is a very specific kind of examination which is carried out to ascertain the uniqueness of biological sequences of DNA, RNA, or proteins, often requiring a specialized Nucleotide sequence search for patents or a DNA sequence prior art search. Considering the complexity and vastness of biological data, the search makes use of bioinformatics software that will align your sequence of interest (including executing an Antibody CDR patent search) to a huge database of patents and other documents containing millions of entries and sets up an extremely solid platform prior to any filing of Patent. For biotechnologists working in pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, and synthetic biology applications, a Biological Sequence Search forms an integral part of their overall Patent Search process, helping them to ensure that no biological sequences similar to theirs have already been filed.
BLAST and GenePAST algorithms are utilized by us, at Intellect Bastion, on premium databases like STN and NCBI to help you create a solid IP strategy and IP audit. We deliver the best homology reports from our PhD-level analysts, along with Percent Identity and E-value, all in sync with your trademark registration or copyright registration processes.
