Research Disclosure

Why leading companies use Research Disclosure

Over the years an estimated 90% of the world’s leading companies and corporations have published disclosures in RD. Why? Well it’s pointless publishing a disclosure if no-one is going to find it, and those leading companies and corporations know from their dealings with the world’s patent offices that the patent examiners routinely search RD as part of the examination process.

Conversely the patent examiners know that the world’s leading companies regularly disclose in RD and that the majority of those disclosures cover the cutting edge technologies the examiners need to find in examination. Consequently examiners worldwide regard RD as the prime disclosure source to search.
