Patent Search - Patentability Search, Patent Search, Novelty Search, Prior Art Search

More Information: Patentability Search or Patent Search

Noro IP highly recommends doing a Patentability Search (also called a Novelty, Prior Art Search or Patent Search) before a Patent Application is prepared as a cost-effective way to determine whether or not the invention will be patentable. Results of the Patentability Search will be printed on your patent and serve as evidence that your invention is novel. Results can also help you identify ways to strengthen your patent application.

A Patentability Search (Patent Search) answers the following questions:
     a) Is your idea truly novel, has it already been patented, has it been anticipated or rendered obvious?
     b) Is it worth the cost of filing a patent at all, given the scope of patentability?
     c) What is your competition doing?
     d) Is it worth the effort and expense to fully develop and market your concept?

Using inventive specifications and disclosures, we search within the area of interest for both expired and unexpired patents and publications as well as patent related literature. The full disclosure provided is reviewed and one of our patent specialists provides a concise summary containing citations to sections of prior art found and electronic copies of all relevant documents found during the Patentability Search.

All Patentability Searches undergo Noro IP’s thorough quality assurance checks before they are delivered to our clients.
