AI-accelerated, expert-validated prior art searches, claim charts, patent drawings and litigation support for corporations, law firms, inventors and universities.
1500+ projects delivered for 150+ clients worldwide
We give you far more than just a list of patent links. Whether you need invalidity searches, novelty searches, claim charts, or patent drawings, we deliver deep analysis and results mapping formatted exactly how your project needs them.
Built for your specific objective—whether establishing novelty, evaluating obviousness, clearing a product launch with an FTO search, or building bulletproof invalidity arguments. We don’t inflate reference counts. Instead, we trace every relevant patent family using global patent databases, verify critical publication dates, and dig up the foreign-language and non-patent prior art that actually decides your position.
For Evidence of Use, invalidity contentions, and SEP essentiality, we map every claim element directly against technical evidence—including product teardowns, datasheets, technical manuals, and standards like 3GPP, IEEE, or ETSI. Designed to support licensing negotiations, litigation, and infringement claims.
From informal sketches, CAD models, and photos to formal patent figures—fully compliant with 37 CFR §1.84 and PCT Rule 11.13. Backed by deep patent prosecution experience, our draftsmen truly understand specifications—delivering accurate drawings that avoid PTO objections, with fast turnarounds on urgent fixes.
From invalidity and freedom-to-operate (FTO) searches to landscape analysis, EoU claim charts, SEP essentiality mapping, and patent illustrations—send us your matter details and you’ll have a clear scope, fee, and confirmed delivery date back the same day.
Request a QuoteMost firms hand your search to a junior. We don’t.
Handing off search execution to a junior while a senior merely reviews saves the vendor money—and risks missing the prior art reference that determines your outcome. At Synoptic IP, a dedicated senior specialist executes your search end-to-end, from the first query to the final chart—combining deep technical domain expertise with comprehensive patent and non-patent database coverage.
Why Synoptic IP?Litigation deadlines don’t move, so
neither do ours.
Expedited searches get the same databases and the same senior specialists as everything else. On tight timelines you’ll get interim findings as they surface, so you’re building your argument while the search is still running.
One senior researcher runs your search from first query to final chart — average six years in the technology. No junior first pass, no review queue.
AI-enhanced retrieval across premium patent and non-patent databases, with every reference read by a qualified patent professional to judge what it does to the claim.
Findings ranked by relevance, with the conclusion up front and the full search record behind it.
Talk to the specialist running your search, not an account manager relaying questions.
Terminology moves, and a decade of art stays behind under the old name. Our practice areas exist so the person searching your claims already knows both vocabularies.
From patent attorneys to agents, corporations to universities—we take on high-stakes matters, deliver clean results with zero reference padding, and turn single assignments into long-term partnerships. Here’s what that first project was like:
“I used Synoptic for a validity search and was pleased with the results. The rates were highly competitive, the deliverable was on time, and the results were as good as (if not better than) other searches I’ve used.”
“Ankit did a very thorough and professional job on a claim chart assignment for us. He showed great perseverance when things got difficult and was able to get the job done. I would work with him again.”
“The report looks great. I’m discussing it with the client later this week, and will let you know if there’s any additional feedback.”
“Thank you for your work on this matter. We were pleased with the search and will consider you for future searches.”
“Thank you — the search was quite helpful. We’ll have your invoice processed promptly.”
“Hi John, these are terrific! Thanks for the quick and high-quality work!”
“We were very pleased with the patentability and FTO report that you produced for us back in November 2024.”
“I, too, enjoyed our interactions in 2025, and I am also looking forward to the opportunity to work with you and your team this year!!”
