The prior art material can be sustained in a patent office by supporting documents available before the date of filing a patent application at the respective patent office.

Patentability Search

Patentability searches are generally conducted before a patent application is prepared in order to determine whether or not the invention will be patentable based on the published prior art that currently exists. Patentability searches cover all of the granted and published applications of the major patent offices; as well as domain relevant non-patent literature. As a normal practice, we deliver a concise search report containing citations to sections of the prior art found and electronic copies of the prior art documents.

Invalidation search

Invalidation searches are generally useful as a defensive tool when a company is concerned about infringing a particular patent. An invalidity search attempts to uncover issued patents or other published prior art that may render a patent partially or completely invalid. Our Invalidation search results include a search report, a claims mapping chart, and electronic copies of the prior art cited.

Freedom-to-Operate Search

Freedom to operate searches identify potential patent barriers to the commercialization of products or technologies. A freedom to operate search involves searching the claims language of third-party in-force patents to determine if the claims of the any prior art protect the aspects of the technology that is to enter the marketplace. Freedom to Operate research is typically conducted as a due diligence effort to prevent potential infringement.

Infringement Search

By way of this search, we assist in examining one or more patent specifications for a method, system, product or a process infringing our client's patent specification. SMEs or individual inventors who want to be acquainted with whether their product/process/method/system or patent is being infringed by third party will be benefited by getting infringement search done by our team. Our team has been very well trained in conducting infringement search and has the capability of handling such projects.

State of the art search

The state of the art search is a broad search on everything that has been done in a given art. State of the art searches are useful if you are considering entry into a particular domain of art. State of the art search results can provide a basis for making critical market decisions. In addiiton, the results can also be used as a navigation framework for product and process design.
