Improving and Securing Inventions

Patent analytics

01

Novelty Search (Patentability Search)

To determine if an invention is novel and non-obvious before filing a patent application.

This search reviews prior art, including patents and non-patent literature, to assess
whether an invention is new and has not been disclosed previously. It helps inventors avoid filing for
something that’s already in the public domain.

02

Freedom-to-Operate (FTO) Search

To check if a product or process infringes on any existing patents.

This search is performed to ensure that a company can market its product without the
risk of infringing on active patents in specific jurisdictions. It focuses on claims of active patents
rather than expired ones.

03

Invalidity Search (Validity Search)

To invalidate or challenge the validity of an issued patent.

This search is conducted to find prior art that the patent office did not consider
during the examination process. It is useful when challenging a competitor’s patent or defending
against an infringement lawsuit.

04

State-of-the-Art Search

To provide an overview of existing technologies in a specific field.

This search helps researchers or companies stay updated on the latest developments in
a technological area. It includes patents and non-patent literature to map the current state of
innovation in the industry.

05

Landscape Search

To gain insights into patent trends, competition, and white spaces within a specific
technology domain.

This search identifies the overall patent landscape in a given field, showing who the key
players are and where there might be opportunities for innovation. It’s often used for strategic
planning and R&D investment.

06

Infringement Search

To assess whether a product or process is infringing on any existing patents.

Similar to FTO, this search specifically aims to find patents that may be infringed by a
particular product or process, providing a risk assessment for potential legal challenges.

07

Patent Watch (Monitoring Search)

To continuously monitor new patents in a specific field or related to a competitor’s
activities.

This service helps companies stay informed about new patents filed by competitors or
in their industry, allowing them to react to potential threats or opportunities early on.

08

Opposition Search

To find prior art or grounds to oppose the granting of a patent application.

This search is conducted to locate prior art or other information that could be used to
oppose a patent application during its prosecution, typically by a third party in jurisdictions that
allow opposition

09

Design Patent Search

To search for existing design patents to determine the novelty of a product’s ornamental
design.

This search focuses on design patents, which protect the appearance of a product, to
ensure a proposed design is new and non-infringing.
