Custom Patent Search
For clients who want a search run against their own criteria rather than a predetermined template.
We take your brief and build the search strategy around it, applying well-reasoned tactics to find the right databases and source libraries and extract the material that actually answers your question.
What Clients Use It For
Map every future use of a technology area
To locate all the potential future uses for a given technology area, rather than only the ones already commercialised.
Evaluate companies quantitatively and qualitatively
To evaluate a set of businesses using both qualitative and quantitative analysis.
Build dashboards for decision-makers
To build specialised dashboards for decision-makers inside large corporations, so the findings stay usable after the project ends.
Scout technologies that could solve a problem
To find every technology that could plausibly be developed to solve a specific problem you are facing.
Companies, IP law firms, R&D facilities and individual inventors all use this model where the standard search products do not fit the question.
Words From Our Clients

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!!
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.
