ExpertLancing supports and assists clients in preparing an Information Disclosure Statement comprising relevant prior art references that is ready for filing at the USPTO. Under US patent law, all patent applicants are bound to disclose all known prior art references (patent as well as non-patent/product) that would be pertinent to determining the patentability of an application.
While preparing IDS, our team keeps in consideration the references from the previous patent activity by the same applicant.
