Our client is a research institute within a prestigious university. They were looking for a reliable patent research partner to conduct patentability searches that would help them evaluate the likelihood of obtaining patents for a number of their inventions.
In a period of six months, we conducted novelty searches on several inventions covering different technology domains.
FIND OUT HOW WE
The client had highly technical inventions that were state-of-the-art, and therefore proved difficult to find prior art references. They needed a partner who could conduct comprehensive patentability searches that could identify potentially relevant prior art before they invest in the patent application process. The client also required that each search be completed within a tight deadline.
With all these requirements in mind, we knew that the first few days of each project required us to quickly optimize and improve our search strategy.
We engaged the support of our PhD-level consultants who had the expertise to conduct research on highly technical inventions.
We expanded our patentability search to put particular focus on non patent literature (NPL) and foreign patents to ensure that we have covered a broad base.
We worked closely with our team of U.S. patent attorneys and patent agents who provided a deeper background of the invention’s technology area. This helped us fine-tune the search, ensure that we have covered all our bases, and provide the client additional insights regarding potential "obviousness" issues with their inventions.
Want to know more about our patentability search service?
Our team was able to provide the client with comprehensive patentability searches that identified key prior art references. We were able to deliver the reports within the prescribed deadline.
The output consisted of detailed technical mapping charts and an additional summary section that described in detail the level of relevance of the references and how each item relates to the important elements of their invention. This particular “summary” is an added feature designed specifically for the client.

Parola provided us the key reference
The first search Parola Analytics, Inc. performed for us provided the key reference supporting our invalidity position on a patent we were evaluating.
Parola delivered outstanding results!
Vincent and his team at Parola are excellent at locating prior art. We have worked with Parola on two matters, and both times, Parola delivered outstanding results. Parola’s highly-relevant search results and reports demonstrated a thorough understanding of the patent claims.
The work product is top notch!
Vincent Violago and his excellent team at Parola Analytics provide high quality, detailed, prior art search results with minimal oversight and handholding. These guys are highly educated and experienced in their field and work together with great efficiency. The work product is top-notch, and they are always available for follow up, including detailed discussions of the report and additional pinpoint searches based on the results.
Demonstrated deeper understanding of the search
I engaged Parola Analytics to conduct a prior art search on a difficult US patent that had already stymied another search firm that delivered two unusable references. Parola found four much better references in two weeks that demonstrated a deeper understanding of the search and an effective selection of the best references.
Responsive and easy to work with
Parola Analytics is our trusted partner for prior art search contests on PATROLL, Unified Patent’s crowdsourcing platform.
