What is a Prior Art Search?
"Prior Art" is a term used to describe any and all information made available to the public before a given date that might be relevant to an invention's claims of originality. If an invention has been already described in prior art (especially if it has been over a year), then the invention may not be patentable. A "Prior Art Search" is a systematic scan of public information sources to determine whether or not an invention is truly original. Often, this involves checking patent databases, publications, and similar information sources. Inventively can conduct a prior art search for you to help determine what information already exists about your invention.
Why conduct a Prior Art Search?
Increase likelihood of patentability
A design patent is not guaranteed even with a successful prior art search. However, finding prior art for a design could mean it's unpatentable.
Saves time and money
The Patent Office will not allow you to obtain a patent on a design or invention that has prior art (similar designs or evidence). Save your time and money for patentable designs.
