Software patent search

The best way to go forward is to find a professional patent searcher that can perform the search for you. You should realize that searching patent information is a profession (or may be ev en art) in itself; it is not just entering some keywords and - if you are Lucky - some classifications in a database; it involves much more than that.
You should be aware that as for yet there is still no quality label for patent information specialists (but we are working on it: www.qpip.org).
Depending on the country where you are in, I could suggest a few possible candidates. Please give me a private message if you want some names.
