Patentability/Novelty Search

A patentability/novelty search is conducted to determine the eligibility of an invention for a patent in light of prior art. Infolitics provides its clients a customized search along with technical opinion on the novelty of the invention.

Invalidation/Validity Search

An invalidation/validity search is performed to determine the validity of a published/granted patent. The search is conducted for patent and non-patent literature, and in some cases for products, to identify any documentation or products that have an identical inventive concept and precede the priority date of the published/granted patent in question. The search is conducted in case of a potential threat of infringement on a published/granted patent. Infolitics uses various complementary search strategies to provide its clients a comprehensive search and relevant prior art.
