Simply put, it depends on whether you wish to patent your invention yourself or simply ensure that you don’t infringe on someone else’s patent. Prior to filing a patent application, we recommend doing a patentability (novelty) search, and since novelty is based on prior art worldwide, a global patentability search is best. Prior to marketing or selling your product we also advise customers to have an infringement search done to avoid potential infringement of third party patents.
Apart from the worldwide novelty requirement for a patent, it makes sense to have a global search done in order to gain market knowledge and for purposes of strategic planning. Where your idea may have numerous variations, performing multiple searches also helps you to narrow down which idea to pursue
Although you may have searched on Google, USPTO, and other sites believing your invention is 100% original, without a professional patent search you cant be sure that it is actually “unique”. With a quality patent search, you can find out if your invention is more likely to qualify for a patent. It will also reveal if there is something nearly identical or shares commonality with your idea.
Patent searches can save you a lot of time and money by ensuring whether your invention is preexisting or not. It can save you from investing funds unnecessarily. Through our IP/Patent services, you can learn whether or not your patent might violate other patent rights or invalidate one that competes with yours.
Additionally, a patent search can assisting you with improving your idea by providing you with a better understanding of what else is available. When you research other patents, you’re able to evaluate whether your invention is different and useful, and, if necessary, make changes and adjustments to improve and strengthen your creations.
nvntrSEARCH services benefit you with the confidence of learning as much as you can about your invention. We have helped our clients find peace of mind by conducting a thorough patent search, allowing them to understand whether a market-changing invention has already been made, as well as how similar or different their design is. Finding positive results on a patent search puts you closer to patenting your idea and monetizing it!
“Non-patent literature” refers to published information that is not part of patent databases. This includes various sources such as academic journals, conference proceedings, technical reports, magazines, and newspapers.
Adding non-patent literature to an IP novelty search can help in several ways:
To recap, non-patent literature helps ensure a more thorough and accurate assessment of the prior art, which is important for evaluating the novelty of an invention.
