Patentability Search
Prior art search or novelty search is performed to search for any reference from patents or NPL that discloses a similar invention in question. Customized reports with legal experts’ insights.
The goal of a patentability search is to determine the likelihood that an invention will be granted a patent, particularly in light of the global standards of novelty and non-obviousness. The goal of the study is to find references that are pertinent to and associated with the current invention as prior art by searching both patent and non-patent literature.
The scope of the invention can then be changed for subsequent searches based on the references found if the patentability search reveals documents disclosing inventions similar to the invention searched.
