Our Resources

Washington Patent Services is committed to using the finest patent databases available and have developed a unique in-house patent viewer system.  This system allows our searchers to scroll through entire CPC (Cooperative Patent Classification) classes carefully examining each patent and application in it’s entirety in chronological order from newest to oldest. The incorporation of creative research tools such as our viewers, combined with the optimization and internalization of the resources available at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), allows Washington Patent Services to conduct the most comprehensive and innovative patent research in the industry.
