Patent Search Services in the USA & India
For most inventors, a patent search should be the first step in the patent application process. The reason is simple: a patent search helps determine whether the time and expense of pursuing a patent application is a worthwhile endeavor. At BLUETECH INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, we specialize in patent search services, providing expert guidance to help you make informed decisions.
A patent search helps you determine if someone else already owns a patent on an invention similar to yours. It is essential to know who holds the rights to an idea before you proceed with developing your own. By conducting a patent search, you can identify whether someone else has patented a similar invention. If they have, you may need to pay royalties to use their idea.
A patentability search, also known as a novelty search, is conducted before filing a patent application. This search confirms that your invention is new and qualifies for a patent. At BLUETECH INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, the patentability search is one of the most common searches we perform for inventors and applicants. We advise applicants not to file a patent application without first conducting this essential search.
An invalidity or validity search involves detailed research to determine whether the claims of a specific patent are valid or invalid when compared to prior art available at the filing date. Only references disclosing the claim limitations are included in the results, with our analysts highlighting the segments relevant to the claim elements.
A clearance search is conducted to identify patents and published applications that may pose an infringement risk to your product or service, as well as expired patents indicating that your product or service may be in the public domain. Our search encompasses all patent literature in a specific country or region, restricting the filing date to 20 years, which is the maximum duration of a patent. The report we provide includes the relevant sections of analyzed patents related to your concept.
An infringement or non-infringement search is conducted to determine whether a product or process infringes upon an existing patent claim. This search is crucial for product or process design and redesign. Our experienced analysts search for and identify relevant patents, highlighting the claims within these patents in the search report.
A patent landscape search can identify potential patent portfolios for acquisition, existing or potential infringers to be pursued, and potential technologies to be exploited. Typically, the results of a patent landscape search include a graphical representation of how numerous patents relate to each other based on various search fields, such as keywords, citations, applicants, and patent classifications. A patent landscape search helps to:
– Monitor markets of interest and determine which patents are now in the public domain.
– Learn about current and future competitors.
– Identify gaps in research and development.
– Determine which of your patents are most valuable.
