Patent Searching

Patent Searching is a highly skilled art which requires technical knowledge, deep understanding of the science or technology and handful of experience. We at IPaatEntiti perform a complete and exhaustive search covering all possible descriptions of the invention using Free and Paid Databases (Thomson Innovation, Orbit, STN) and also defensive publication databases. We keep updating our skills and databases to meet the future requirements.

Besides engineers, science graduates and patent attorneys, patent agents, IPaatEntiti has foreign language experts, thus making sure that a crucial prior art reference is not missed, which may be in other language. IPaatEntiti has a tailor made, interactive and customized reporting formats and tools to give a broad, comprehensive and total overview of our findings, thus saving the valuable time of the clients and enabling them to take decisions quickly and effectively.

PATENTABILITY SEARCH

In order for an invention to be patentable, it is not enough that it is new. It should also have the inventive step which is another important criterion of patentability. Patentability Search is done to determine the novelty and inventive step of the invention. This type of search covers all the technical fields which may be pertinent to the invention.

FREEDOM TO OPERATE SEARCH

Freedom To Operate (FTO) Search is an important requirement both for developing a product and for its commercialization. FTO analysis begins with the process of identifying the essential components of the product. Patent Search is conducted against individual component and in combination with these essential constituents. The results of FTO analysis provide a crucial informational tool for assessing the likelihood of infringement risk.

INVALIDITY SEARCH

Invalidity search identifies patent and non-patent documents which may impact the claims of a specific patent. The idea behind the validity or invalidity analysis of patent is to search for relevant prior art on the patent granted by the patent office which have not been cited by the examiner but potentially reads on the claims and is valid enough to challenge the issued patent.

PATENT LANDSCAPE ANALYSIS

A patent landscape reveals past and present activities of various top and small players in a given broad spectrum of technology. It includes white space analysis which helps in identification of problematic and safest research areas. It gives insight to new potential areas where there is a possibility of improvement. Patent Landscape reports can be useful for the business strategists, market analysts and scientists to take key decisions in new product development, R&D planning and strategic development.
