How we work

Subject of examination

We compare technical solutions, signs, designs and works using specific features. We prepare an examination or review with clear input data, comparison methods and grounds for the conclusions.

• Patent and technical examination of a product or process
• Patent information examination
• Examination of an industrial design and product design
• Comparative examination of signs and trademarks
• Examination of works, images and designs
• Comparison of software and databases in an intellectual property dispute
• Review of an intellectual property expert report

Before work begins

We clarify the object, the purpose of the enquiry and the available materials. We select suitable specialists and methods, and establish whether inspection or further examination is needed. The scope, fee, timeframe and format of the result are set out in the agreed order.

Written result

The result describes the objects and source information, the methods used, the characteristics identified and the reasoning behind the answers. Limitations of the materials are reflected in the conclusions. The procedural status of the document depends on the basis on which the work is carried out.

Reviewing an existing report

If a report has already been prepared, its methodology, completeness of source information, calculations and the connection between the examination and its conclusions can be reviewed separately. A review requires the full report with its appendices.
