evaluating your idea against known prior-art

Unfortunately, some companies and inventors don’t spend enough quality time, effort and investment in assessing their idea to determine whether it has been done before or whether it will infringe an existing patent. This process is known as due diligence and its importance can not be under estimated.

You have two options;
1. Conduct a thorough patent and market search yourself.
2. Engage the services of an experienced and reputable business to do the task for you.

Even the most experienced and seasoned IP professionals can never be 100% confident that the due diligence process has covered all possibilities and eventualities. However, you can improve your chances by using a business such as ideas2develop since it’s often a question of where to look rather than how hard you are looking.

ideas2develop offer an initial evaluation report service, upon the receipt of your completed idea registration form. This service is costed at a flat rate of £375 and, at the end, you will be provided with a professional report outlining what our due diligence search experts have uncovered.

Depending on the report contents, you may decide to stop there. You may, however, decide that your idea should be pursued. If so, ideas2develop are able to provide MAJOR help.
