Today I learned that the Swedish patent office has a sister company, PRV Consulting, that offers patent search services. The pricing looks good.
In the past, I’ve used the Swiss patent office’s ip-search service for preparing important invalidity actions. The Swedish offer might be worth a closer look especially for telecommunications and trucks, I guess.
Thanks go to Carl Hamsten, Swedish patent examiner, who shared this in David Breitenbach’s Talk IP to me podcast.
Hope this helps,
Bastian
P.S. If you’re drafting a patent application that doesn’t justify investing in a paid search service, consider doing your own quick search with AI. I’ll teach you how I do this with my favorite prompts in my online course.
