Overview

A patent search is the process of searching and analyzing existing patents and published patent applications to assess the novelty and patentability of an invention.

Key steps

Define the Search Scope

Clearly define the scope of your invention and identify the relevant keywords, phrases, or technical terms associated with your invention.

Utilize Patent Databases

Access patent databases, such as the database of the patent office in India or international databases like the WIPO’s Patentscope, the USPTO’s database, or the European Patent Office’s database.

Conduct Keyword Searches

Use the identified keywords and phrases to conduct keyword searches in the patent databases.

Refine the Search

Review the search results and refine your search by using additional keywords, classifications, or filters to narrow down the results and focus on the most relevant patents.

Review Patent Documents

Carefully reviewing the patent documents that appear to be relevant to your invention.

Assess Novelty and Inventiveness

Compare your invention with the identified prior art to assess its novelty and inventiveness.

Document and Organize Findings

Document the search results, including the relevant patent documents, citations, and any notes or observations you make during the search process.

Why Patent Search is Important

Determine Novelty

A patent search helps you determine if your invention is truly new and novel.

Refine and Improve your Invention

By reviewing existing patents, you can gain insights into the state of the art and the advancements made in your field.

Enhance Patent Application Quality

A thorough patent search helps you understand the existing patents and their claims.

Assess Competitive Landscape

A patent search provides insights into the competitive landscape in your industry or field.

Assess Patentability

A patent search allows you to assess the patentability of your invention. By reviewing similar patents and inventions, you can evaluate whether your invention involves an inventive step or non-obviousness

Avoid Duplication and Wasting Resources

Conducting a patent search helps you avoid investing time, effort, and resources in developing an invention that has already been patented or publicly disclosed.

Identify Licensing and Collaboration Opportunities

During a patent search, you may discover related inventions or technologies that are available for licensing or collaboration.
