Validity Search (also known as Invalidity Search)

Validity Searches are delivered within 3 - 5 business days. 

A Validity Patent Search will determine whether a patent will withstand attack in litigation. Our Validity Patent Search provides clients with an in-depth analysis of patent art that may be used to prove the validity or lack thereof of a patent already obtained. Clients only need to provide the patent number and the claims of interest and we will conduct an extensive search of US and foreign patents, publications and technical literature.

Also, a Validity Patent Search determines how useful the patent is in licensing negotiations. A prospective licensee may want to conduct a Validity Patent Search to determine the strength of the patent. Upon receiving the results, the licensee can then adjust its minimum royalty payments according to the findings before entering into the license agreement.

A Validity Patent Search is the most extensive search that can be undertaken. If a corporation has a vested interest in invalidating a competitor's patent, it may continue searching until it finds something it feels will accomplish this. Noro IP will usually conduct a full Validity Patent Search within two weeks utilizing one fully devoted specialist with expertise in the area.

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

Validity Searches include the following:

  • A search of US and foreign patent documents unless otherwise specified
  • A search of patent related literature, non-patent literature and various art specific publications, journals and databases
  • A copy of our patent specialist’s search history, which includes keywords used and classification areas search
  • A mapping of the identified reference features to the client’s provided inventive features
  • Noro IP’s Patent Comparison Matrix which will help you analyze claims and identify competitive advantages
