There are multiple sources for such prior art, such as a search report on a patent family, references cited by the examiner in an office action of a family member, etc.We assist our clients in preparing the IDS table in a highly elucidating report by searching all the international patent offices to collect the relevant material related to the application and prepare all the supporting forms to be submitted along with the IDS form.
