Patent Research That Turns
Innovation Into Defensible Advantage
AI-accelerated, expert-validated prior art searches, claim charts, patent drawings and litigation support for corporations and law firms.
1500+ projects delivered for 150+ clients worldwide
From Prior Art to Exhibit-Ready
We don’t stop at a list of references. Invalidity and novelty searches, FTO, landscapes, claim charts and patent drawings — delivered in the form your matter actually needs.
Prior Art Search
Art built for §102 anticipation and §103 combinations, not reference counts. We trace the family, verify publication dates against the critical date, and reach the foreign-language and non-patent literature that decides IPRs and oppositions.
Claim Charts & SEP Charts
Limitation-by-limitation mapping for evidence of use, invalidity contentions and essentiality — read against product teardowns, source code, technical documentation and 3GPP TS/TR specifications with the contribution history traced.
Patent Illustrations
Informal sketches, CAD and photographs converted to filing-ready figures under 37 CFR §1.84 and PCT Rule 11.13, with numerals checked against the spec before filing and corrected drawings turned around inside the response window.

World-Class Patent Research
Most firms hand your search to a junior. We don’t.
Splitting a search between a junior who runs it and a senior who reviews it saves them money and costs you the reference that mattered. At Synoptic IP, one senior specialist runs your search end to end — average six years in the technology, from the first query to the final chart — working with AI-enhanced retrieval across premium patent databases and the major non-patent sources.
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.
Why IP Counsel Keep Coming Back
Senior Researcher
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 accelerated
AI-enhanced retrieval across premium patent and non-patent databases, with every reference read by someone qualified to judge what it does to the claim.
The Answer on Page One
Findings ranked by relevance, with the conclusion up front and the full search record behind it.
Direct Engineer Access
Talk to the specialist running your search, not an account manager relaying questions.
Personalised medicine before precision medicine. Neural networks before machine learning.
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.

Words From Our Clients
The majority of our projects come from returning clients. Here’s what the first one 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!!”
