Designed for Complete Efficiency

US Intellectual property lien searches typically occur across multiple databases. Finding the results you need and organising them can take many hours and you may still miss critical information.

We developed our own proprietary search engine using data directly from the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to be faster, more accurate and more cost-effective.

With an office in Washington, DC, we have the local presence and knowledge to navigate patent, trademark and copyright nuances. That’s how Cogency Global gives you peace of mind every time.

Your IP Due Diligence Services at Cogency Global

Our team leads the industry by performing searches with a unique USPTO search engine using data obtained directly from the official source. We’ll show you the big picture in integrated reports you can actually understand. We can also file assignments with the USPTO and US Copyright Office (USCO).

Depending on what you need, services will vary but generally include the following in the US:

  • Ownership searches to identify trademark applications, published pending patents and patent grants
  • Assignment searches to identify security interests
  • Assignment filings to transfer an owner’s rights, title and interest in trademarks, patents and copyrights
