A Patentability Search is performed to identify patents and non-patent literature which may affect the patentability or novelty of an invention based on the statutory requirements of a patent office. The best time to perform a patentability search is before preparing the patent application to determine whether the invention is novel and non-obvious.

The objective of a patentability search is to find all prior arts including granted patent and non-patent literature that can potentially render an invention un-patentable. The prior art identified in a patentability search also helps a patent drafter in drafting claims which is having the broadest possible scope based on the identified prior art.

Our search strategy is comprehensive and covers a variety of strategies including Keywords based searching, classification-based searching for example, CPC, IPC, USC, FI, F-Term based searching; Assignee and Inventors based searching; Citation Search / Spider searching. We have completed more than 1000+ patentability searches till date.
