FAQ

Q: How comprehensive is the IP analysis? A: Covers US (USPTO) and European (EPO) patents plus EU trademarks (EUIPO). Does not cover design patents or international PCT applications directly.

Q: Can this replace full financial due diligence? A: No. This provides alternative data signals (insider sentiment, consumer complaints, hiring patterns) that complement traditional financial analysis. Use alongside accountant/legal DD.

Q: Is it legal to use this? A: All data sources are publicly available. See Apify's guide on web scraping legality.
