Frequently Asked Questions: Novelty Search with Scintillation Research
What is a novelty search and why is it crucial?
A novelty search is a critical step in the patent process to determine if an invention is new and hasn't been previously disclosed. It helps avoid costly patent rejections and infringement issues. Scintillation Research & Analytics (SRA) specialises in these searches, ensuring your innovation stands out.
What makes Scintillation Research's novelty search unique?
We go beyond standard patent databases. Our team of technology enthusiasts and engineers with strong educational backgrounds analyse patents and scientific research papers, including non-patent literature (NPL) like meeting materials, reports, and discussions from standard-setting organisations (SSOs). This comprehensive approach, as highlighted in our work with Standard Essential Patents (SEPs), uncovers "overlooked goldmines" for prior art.
What types of technologies does Scintillation Research cover?
Our expertise spans advanced technology sectors including telecommunications, semiconductors, wireless technologies, networking, audio and video codecs (e.g., HEVC, Wi-Fi 6), electric vehicles, wireless charging, mechanical systems, and automobiles. We have experience analysing thousands of patents in these fields.
How does Scintillation Research handle complex IP challenges like SEPs?
We provide tailored solutions for ecosystem players, including SEP holders and implementers. Our services include analysing contribution documents to identify essential patents, offering insights into market dynamics, and providing competitive advantage analysis. For instance, we've analysed over 3000 patents for Wi-Fi 6 standards and over 2000 for HEVC standards.
What is the process for engaging Scintillation Research for a novelty search?
We offer a modular approach, ensuring client engagement throughout the process. We provide customized strategies, not "one size-fits-all" solutions, and are committed to meeting fixed timelines. Our services cover the complete patent life cycle, from pre-filing to post-grant phases, including provisional and non-provisional patent drafting.
What tangible benefits can clients expect from a novelty search by SRA?
Clients gain clarity on their invention's patentability, identify potential prior art to strengthen their applications, avoid future litigation, and make informed strategic decisions regarding their intellectual property. Our goal is to position you at the forefront of your field.
