A focused review of published patents and literature in a specific technical field, revealing the most recent developments and established knowledge—ideal for informing research direction and identifying prior art. 

Our State of the Art Search offers a structured overview of the latest developments in a chosen technical domain. This type of search is essential during the early stages of R&D, as it helps identify what has already been disclosed and what gaps remain. By reviewing patents and relevant non-patent literature, this service supports academic research, product development, and technical feasibility assessments. It helps ensure you're building on existing knowledge rather than duplicating efforts. Our reports are comprehensive and easy to navigate, including links to source documents and thematic grouping where relevant.
