Prior Art Search

Prior art will be gathered using the USPTO Advanced Search Portal (link), Google Patents, and a generalized Google search for already comercialized devices. The findings of the prior art search will be compiled into a spreadsheet search report (pictured) for you to review. The search report will have a brief description of each article of prior art and my opinion of its relevance to your invention.
