Novelty Searches / Patentability Searches
What is a Novelty Search / Patentability Search?
A Novelty Search, also known as a Patentability Search, is conducted to assess whether an invention is new and eligible for patent protection. The search identifies prior art—existing patents, publications, or publicly available information—that could impact the novelty or originality of the invention.
What is the purpose of conducting a patentability search?
- Evaluate Patent Survival: Determine whether your invention satisfies the fundamental criteria of patentability, which include novelty, non-obviousness, and utility.
- Conserve Resources and Time: Refrain from allocating time and money to an idea that may not be patentable.
- Strategic Planning: Utilise the search results to enhance the quality of your invention or to formulate a more precise patent strategy.
