What the US public record can tell an investor

Free · federal

Record	What it shows	The claim it tests
SEC Form D	What was raised, when the first sale happened, and the officers and directors listed	The deck's funding history and team
USPTO assignments	Who owns each patent: the company, a founder, or a university	“We own our core IP”
Federal court dockets	Suits filed in federal court, from CourtListener's free archive	“No disputes or litigation”
FDA databases	510(k), De Novo and PMA clearances, recalls, and adverse-event reports	“Our device is FDA-cleared”
US sanctions list	Whether an entity with the company's name is on the Treasury's sanctions list	That the money can be taken at all

There is no US Companies House. These records cover different ground, and for diligence some go further than the UK's. Run the free US company check to read all of them for one company, patents aside.
