Invention Research Support
At Innovation Accelerator, we understand that one of the first and most critical steps for any inventor is determining whether their invention already exists. This essential research not only helps protect your innovative idea but also guides you in refining and differentiating your invention. Our team at Innovation Accelerator is here to assist you through this vital process, ensuring that your journey from concept to market is as smooth and successful as possible.

Refine Your Invention
Discover existing technologies that can inspire improvements and innovations.
Enhance Patent Applications
Prepare stronger, more detailed patent applications by understanding the existing landscape.
