Fortnight can help your company save time by locating critical products or processes that other companies have already developed.

• Avoid re-inventing the wheel
• Optimize the use of internal resources
• Tap the entire gamut of solutions that may be available including:
  • patents
  • public and private research
  • commercial services
  • saleable trade secrets

Due to its large size and distributed nature, the Fortnight Network can provide immense breadth and depth in each and every search.

Database searches can be completed within two business days.

Detailed requests to the Fortnight Network are normally open for Expert responses for a period of two weeks. Longer and shorter times may be requested by the client.

The time needed for additional in-depth work, if desired, depends on the specific project.

Cost depends on the type of service you require. Our fee structure is incremental, designed to minimize risk to our clients. The majority of the cost is charged for learning the details of proposed solutions (and for more in-depth research, if desired by the client). At each step in the process, a Fortnight–client gate interaction specifies costs for the next steps.

   Due to a cooperative agreement between the American Physical Society (APS) and Fortnight, APS members, and companies that have an APS member as an employee, can now receive a discount of several hundred dollars on each of their first two uses of Fortnight’s services of at least $5,000.
