Whether your invention can be filed for a patent or whether it could possibly infringe existing rights can be predicted relatively reliably with the help of appropriate searches. 

The same applies to trademarks that you would like to use in connection with certain products or services, for example in new markets that have not yet been developed.

Getting a clear picture in markets that are of interest to you can help you choose the right filing strategy. Search results show potential risks and thus make it possible to change course at an early stage.

Clearance checks also deliver invaluable insight into your competitor's activities and can be used to forecast future market developments.
