Q. What is Noro IP?
A. A quick summary would say that Noro IP provides patent and IP related services, but Noro IP does much more than that. Noro IP strives to be your one-stop shop for any IP service you could possibly need. At our core we offer patent drafting and patent searches (patentability, novelty, validity, infringement, etc.). Noro IP also offers services for patent attorneys and agents looking for jobs (see our Job Directory), services for patent firms looking for top notch members to add to their staff (see our IP Recruitment and Staffing section) and a relaxed area for people in the IP field to talk about things going on in the field and to ask questions that the IP community might know. In an effort to make working in the IP field even easier, Noro IP is also developing several tools that will put prior art keystrokes away from your finger tips!
