Novelty search: The outcome of the novelty search report determines whether to file for a patent. We focus on discovering all critical prior-art references, single or in combination, that overlap with key features and an inventive step of the invention. A novelty report is also helpful for the patent attorney to draft patent claims designed around the prior-art references.
Our team needs an invention disclosure form or a provisional application to start. We have access to global patent and non-patent databases to search for prior-art documents comprehensively. We do not rely on AI but use it as an optional strategy.
We pay special attention to contribution documents, meeting reports, and standard documents to identify prior art relevant to the subject invention.
