According to Stuart Recher, President, Services at MaxVal, “Our search services have long provided valuable insights to some of the world’s most innovative companies and law firms on patents of interest to them. And with this new partnership, we’ll be able to provide even greater value as we broaden our offerings to include FTO process management, including the ability for MaxVal analysts to import references for confidential review by attorneys.”
