Case Study: a leading research institute verifies patentability with Netscribes prior-art searches

How Netscribes helped the client conduct a trademark search along with filing the patent for their product

Netscribes was engaged by a leading research institute in nano electronics to conduct prior-art searches. The client required verification of the patentability for its disclosed inventions related to CMOS imagers, specifically methods for maintaining pixel factors like fill factor and symmetry.

Netscribes’ solution involved executing comprehensive global patent and non-patent searches. This process utilized a range of strategies, including keyword permutations, classification codes, and iterative refinement using assignee and citation analysis. The Netscribes team rigorously reviewed the results to identify relevant publications and provided electronic copies of all pertinent documents to the client.
