PRIOR ART SEARCH
Each of the below prior art searches offered by Satients Research is tailored to meet the specific needs of clients, providing them with actionable insights and strategic guidance in navigating intellectual property challenges and opportunities effectively.
Novelty Search: A novelty search, also known as a patentability search, aims to determine the novelty of an invention before filing a patent application. Satients Research conducts comprehensive searches across patent databases, scientific literature, and other sources to identify prior art that may affect the patentability of your invention. This helps clients assess the likelihood of obtaining a patent and refine their invention to ensure it meets the novelty requirement.
Freedom to Operate (FTO) Search: An FTO search, also called a clearance search, assesses whether a product or technology infringes on existing patents or intellectual property rights. Satients Research conducts thorough investigations to identify patents, trademarks, and other IP rights that could potentially hinder commercial activities. This allows clients to make informed decisions regarding the launch, manufacture, or sale of their products without infringing on others' IP rights.
Patent Opposition Search: In the context of patent opposition proceedings, Satients Research provides detailed searches to gather evidence and prior art that can be used to challenge the validity of a patent application or granted patent. These searches involve identifying relevant prior art and analyzing its impact on the patentability of the invention in question. Our reports assist clients in preparing strong opposition arguments and supporting their case before patent offices or courts.
State of the Art Search: A state of the art search, also known as a landscape analysis or technology scouting, provides an overview of existing technologies, trends, and innovations within a specific field or industry. Satients Research conducts comprehensive searches to identify current developments, emerging technologies, and key players. This analysis helps clients stay informed about the competitive landscape, make strategic decisions regarding R&D investments, and identify opportunities for innovation and collaboration.
