Name Search for Patents – Assignee Or Inventor Search

A Name search is exactly what it sounds like, a search for a name, either a company name or a personal name. When you perform a search for a company name, you can find out about the development of technology within a certain company and how large their patent portfolio is. In business deals, such as mergers, takeovers or investments in companies, this is very important to know. It is also a good way to find out what competitors are focusing their development on and what the trends look like.

The results of a search for an inventor name show who has invented the technical solutions. They also show who are the trendsetters and the key people within a specific technical field.

If you also want to know whether a patent is valid in a country or not, the search request can be extended to include a Patent family search with legal status information.
