Where I search, what I search, and how.
Search coverage is global through patent and non-patent databases. Procedural fluency runs deepest in India, with working capability across the major offices — and a frank view of which technology areas are home ground.
Procedural fluency, not just database access
United States (USPTO)
Patent Public Search, §§101/102/103/112 framework, Alice/Mayo subject-matter awareness, IDS reference compilation, AIA timelines.
Europe (EPO)

India (IPO)
InPASS, the full Patents Act 1970 framework, Section 3 exclusions, working statements and opposition procedure.
Japan & others
J-PlatPat and original-language family members handled where prior art runs into JP, and other jurisdictions via global databases.
