Patent Search

STUDIO GALANTI is a society of consultants highly specialized in the field of patent searches. Our extensive and proven experience of the matter allows us to ensure accurate search in all fields of technology.

 Here are some of the situations in which a patent search can be of clear usefulness:

  • The prior verification of the novelty of an invention eliminates the risk of  loss of time and investment in trying to obtain a patent.
  • The full list of patents in the field in which you intend to commit your investment allows you to check the truly innovative aspects of the research that you wish to undertake. Recent studies show that about 30 % of the costs of research pertains to inventions already made.
  • If you plan to market a product for which you are not interested in getting a patent, it may be necessary to ensure that the product is not covered by patents of other competing companies.
  • In the event that it is necessary to address a lawsuit filed by a company who considers that it has patents on a market where your product is sold, it is essential to check the validity of those patents.
