Prior Search

Our company is rendering services for prior worldwide search to identify whether an application is patentable or not. Prior search is recommended in the sense that many applications become subject to refusal because they are not new, or applicants have difficulties with handling opposition cases against them. 

Moreover, TPI is rendering prior search services as well. They either do the EPOQUE database search (including various countries and patent systems) or Turkish Patent Institute’s database search. Applicants should submit search request forms together with bank receipts of official fee payment.
