The patent process

In this conversation, I will give an initial impression of the invention, explain the patent process and costs, and discuss possible next steps.
Patent search
Cramwinckel Consultancy uses the commercial patent database PatBase as its tool.
This tool makes it easy to search the extensive patent databases. Sometimes in addition to a study by a commercial search firm.
Advice regarding patentability and freedom to operate is possible. The legal status tool of this program makes an IP Due Diligence quickly executable.
Of particular note is the analysis capability to examine large groups of patents. Attached is a Patbase Analytics presentation of 180 published patents compiled by Michiel Cramwinckel.
