If you’re an inventor in Florida, chances are you’ve already invested time and money turning your idea into reality. But before you file a patent application, there’s one critical step that can save you thousands of dollars and months of frustration — a prior art search.
At WizardIP, we specialize in affordable and fast prior art searches designed specifically for Florida inventors, startups, and small businesses who want to protect their ideas without wasting money on patent filings that have little chance of success.
A prior art search (sometimes called a patent search) is a deep review of existing patents, published applications, and public documents to determine if your idea is truly new.
In simple terms — it helps you find out whether someone else has already patented or disclosed your invention.
Without this step, inventors often file patents only to discover later that the idea was already protected — resulting in lost filing fees, legal costs, and wasted time.
Florida’s innovation economy is booming — from medical device startups in Miami to tech inventors in Tampa and product designers in Orlando. But many of these inventors face one major challenge: cost.
A full patent application can easily cost $8,000–$15,000 or more when handled by a traditional firm.
By contrast, a professional prior art search from WizardIP can identify potential roadblocks early — helping you:
✅ Avoid filing for inventions that already exist
✅ Refine your idea to make it truly unique
✅ Strengthen your patent application before submission
✅ Save thousands in attorney and USPTO fees
WizardIP offers quick-turnaround prior art searches with transparent pricing — designed for inventors, entrepreneurs, and patent professionals who need reliable results fast.
Whether you’re located in Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, or anywhere in Florida, our online process makes it easy to order a search and receive your report by email.
You should request a prior art search before spending money on a patent application or discussing your idea publicly.
