About the survey method
At Wisel, when we investigate international documents (Patent Literature and Non-Patent Literature), we use the following methods in combination with technological analysis, investigation purpose, and target country.
(1) Surveys conducted by our investigators or registered investigators (outsourced)
We use commercial databases such as Derwent Innovation, Orbit Intelligence, JP-NET, SRPARTNER, STN, and CNIPR, as well as databases from national patent offices.
(2) Requesting an investigation from an overseas investigation company or agent
We will ask a reliable private law firm or patent office overseas to conduct a search. Local patent office databases are available.
