More Information: Prior Art Search
Noro IP highly recommends doing a Prior Art Search (also called a Novelty or Patentability 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 Prior Art 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 Prior Art 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 Prior Art Search.
All Prior Art Searches undergo Noro IP’s thorough quality assurance checks before they are delivered to our clients.
