Patentability search

A Patentability search is designed to tell you the likelihood of obtaining a patent on your idea. Although the law does not require that you do a patentability search before filing a patent application, however often a search is the right first step in the patent process. Searching for the novelty of your product is a wise step before you commence its production to ensure that your idea is extremely unique and patentable. Patentability search can be performed much earlier during the development of an invention, it is more commonly performed prior to submitting a patent application to check the feasibility of the invention. Patentability Search is directed to the prior art search for the new subject matter that is to be patented. An invention is patentable only when it is new or novel and patentability search for an invention helps in knowing whether it has been disclosed publicly by someone before the critical date of the invention.
