Patentability Search
Before starting
patent application preparation, a patentability search or prior art
search is performed to evaluate whether the subject invention isatentable, under the criteria of novelty, un-obviousness, and industrial utility.
Patentability searches cover all of the granted and published patent
applications at the worldwide patent offices; as well as the published
non-patent literature. Multiple searches based on the key aspects of
the inventions are conducted to bring out similar or related patents as
well as non-patent literatures existing in public.
The service is provided by our skilled and experienced engineers who
are trained extensively in designing search strategies to perform the
patent search on paid (Micropat, Delphion, PatSnap etc) as wells as on
non-paid database (USPTO, EPO, WIPO, etc). Engineers keeping in mind
the client requirement, study the invention to frame the key features
and search strategies to find the best prior art. Our clients receives
a comprehensive search report containing citations to excerpts of
the prior art found, our comments on each cited prior art and
electronic copies of the prior art documents. The search report with
our patentability opinion is delivered to client within 5 business days.
State of Art Search
State of art search
is performed to review the evolution (development) of the technology in
a particular technology domain. An exhaustive search is performed to
find out published patent and non-patent literature in the particular
technology area as per the requirement of the client. The client
receives a search report containing all the results along with our
comments.
Invalidation Searches
The purpose of patent validity/invalidity search is to determine
whether a patent issued on a invention is valid or not in view of prior
art that was already published as of the priority/ filing date of the
patent application. Our experienced searchers unravel relevant and
close patents and non patent literature from the best databases. Our
patent invalidity searches provide clients with expert analysis as to
possible invalidating art that can be declared against an issued
patent. Our report contains visual mapping (color coding) of the
results with the subject patents. Japanese and non-English literatures
including Japanese, Korean and Chinese prior art generally find a
mention in our reports and add value to the report.

might be infringed and thus preventing an unforeseen litigation. This
report provides the organization/patent attorney to identify the
obstacle and blockade to entry of a product in a patent jurisdiction.
