An evidence of use (EOU) search seeks to identify evidence of the commercial use of a particular technology or patented invention.
It is also called a patent infringement search or “patent-to-product mapping” as the process involves correlating patent claims with specific features or components in commercial products or services.
The process effectively identifies potential patent infringement or areas for licensing opportunities.

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.

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.
