Helping Innovators and Patent Professionals Make Better Decisions Through Focused Data
At Pearson Strategy Group, we believe that informed decisions create stronger patents, smarter business strategies, and better outcomes.
As a patent research firm based in Austin, Texas, we help inventors, startups, companies, and patent attorneys uncover the information they need before making critical decisions. Whether you are evaluating a new invention, preparing a patent application, assessing infringement risk, or analyzing a competitive market, our research provides the clarity needed to move forward with confidence.
Our mission is simple. Deliver reliable, actionable patent research and analysis that helps clients reduce uncertainty and make better decisions.
Why Clients Trust Pearson Strategy Group
When it comes to patent research, experience matters.
Patent databases contain millions of records, technical publications, and prior art references. Finding relevant information requires more than a simple keyword search. It requires a disciplined methodology, technical understanding, and the ability to connect information across multiple sources.
Clients trust Pearson Strategy Group because we provide:
- Comprehensive patent research methodologies
- Thorough prior art analysis
- Clear and organized reporting
- Responsive communication
- Fast turnaround times
- Collaborative support throughout the research process
Our work helps clients identify risks, uncover opportunities, and strengthen their intellectual property strategies.
Our patent research not only uncovers critical legal information but also ties this to important market and technology knowledge.
Our Patent Research Methodology
Every project begins with understanding the goals behind the research.
Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach, we develop customized search strategies designed around each client’s unique needs.
Our process typically includes:
Understanding the Technology
We begin by learning about the invention, the technology, the product, and the business objectives.
Developing a Search Strategy
We identify relevant keywords, classifications, technical concepts, and multiple search parameters.
Conducting Comprehensive Research
We search multiple patent databases, technical publications, scientific literature, and public disclosures.
Evaluating Prior Art
We analyze the most relevant references for their relationship to the technology and research objective.
Delivering Actionable Results
The findings are organized into clear reports that help clients make informed decisions.
This disciplined approach helps ensure consistency, accuracy, and value across every project.
How We Analyze Prior Art
Prior art research is one of the most important components of patent strategy.
Our prior art analysis process focuses on identifying references that may impact:
- Patentability
- Novelty
- Non-obviousness
- Freedom to operate
- Competitive positioning
By examining both patent and non-patent literature, we provide clients with a more complete understanding of the intellectual property landscape.
Our goal is not simply to collect information. Our goal is to uncover insights that help clients make better decisions.
Who We Serve
Pearson Strategy Group works with a diverse range of clients involved in inventing, innovation, product manufacturing, product sellers, and intellectual property law.

A Word from Our Founder, Steve Pearson
I am best known for my professional-grade, global (over 100 countries), and guaranteed patent research for inventors, companies, and law firms. My work is typically in the electrical, mechanical, and software arts, and I’ve been an engineering-degreed patent searcher for over 19 years.
I believe that solid research is one of the most valuable tools for accelerating innovation and product development. In many cases, THE most valuable.
I’ve staked my business reputation on knowing how and where to dig into key information to provide entrepreneurs and companies with a competitive advantage. Clients also rely on my expertise to help interpret trends, unknown competitors, and strategies in the revealed data.
By delivering targeted research based on patents and markets, along with strategic consulting, I empower my clients to move forward quickly and at a minimal cost. Nothing makes me happier.
How did I get here? I am an electrical engineer with experience in semiconductor manufacturing, machining, business analysis, patent research, and served aboard a Navy submarine as a nuclear reactor operator. I am the inventor of three patents in the HVAC space.
My clients include legal teams, companies too small for dedicated R&D departments, product resellers, inventors, and innovators across software and technology fields.
I am proud that the Pearson Strategy Group is a Veteran Owned Business (VOB).
