Patent family search
We clarify the conditions for patent families. What relates to whom and where is it protected?
With the same patent application as priority, is it possible to get patent protection in many countries, all the patent applications and granted patents form a patent family.
The result
The report from a Patent family search is supplemented with legal status information. When possible and desirable, we can supplement the legal status information with the latest information from the respective national patent office. This legal status gives you important information about the patent's geographical coverage. You can get information about when and where the patent application has been granted a patent and if the patent is still valid. You also get information about the publication stage of the application in each country. Are there any oppositions? For Swedish patent rights, we can even find out about registered pledges.
Our searches
