Patentability (Prior Art) Search
A patent offers exclusive rights for 20 years, but it is granted only when an invention satisfies three key criteria:
- Novelty
- Utility
- Non-obviousness
Among these, novelty is the most critical factor. A patentability or prior art search identifies whether similar inventions, publications, or technical disclosures already exist anywhere in the world.
Why Conduct a Patentability Search?
- Confirms that your invention is original and new
- Helps understand existing filings in your technology domain
- Allows comparison with closely related prior art
- Assesses the strength and scope of your invention
- Minimizes the risk of infringing existing patents
- Saves time and cost before drafting the patent specification
Early patent searches significantly improve the chances of a successful patent grant.
Invalidity (Validity) Search
An invalidity search is carried out to challenge or assess the enforceability of an existing patent. It is widely used in litigation, licensing, acquisition, and opposition proceedings.
This search helps identify prior art that can invalidate or weaken a granted patent.
Use Cases of Invalidity Search
- Challenging a competitor’s patent
- Defending your product in court proceedings
- Evaluating a patent before purchase or licensing
- Measuring the legal strength of a patent
Our Search Methodology Includes:
- In-depth patent database searches across jurisdictions
- Review of patent and non-patent literature
- Keyword-based and classification-based searches
- Citation analysis of identified prior art
Freedom to Operate (FTO) Search
A Freedom to Operate Search—also known as Clearance or Right-to-Use Search—determines whether your product or invention may infringe existing patents.
Our experts analyze patent claims in relevant jurisdictions to identify potential risks before product launch.
Benefits of FTO Search
- Avoids post-launch legal disputes
- Supports safe commercialization of inventions
- Identifies licensing or design-around opportunities
- Helps plan market entry across multiple countries
FTO searches are highly recommended before entering new markets or scaling production.
State of the Art (SOA) Search
A State of the Art (SOA) Search provides a complete overview of technological developments in a specific field.
This search is particularly useful for:
- Research & development planning
- Patent valuation and licensing decisions
- Mergers, acquisitions, and investments
- Technology trend analysis
It helps organizations make informed strategic decisions backed by accurate technical insights.
