Prices and payment

 

Prices

With the exception of basic searches, which are charged at a fixed rate of CHF 900.- including VAT, the final price is calculated according to the actual time spent carrying out the search plus database costs and any additional services (e.g. citations, patent specifications, non-patent literature) as well as 8.1% VAT.


The final price is dependent on the search objective, the chosen databases, the search strategy, the number of found documents, the depth of analysis and the formatting and preparation of the results. We tailor these factors to your requirements.  


We would be happy to provide you with an individual offer on request. You can also order from us directly and indicate an upper cost limit on the order form.
