Prior Art Search: Unveiling Novelty and Non-Obviousness
A vital aspect of patent evaluation is the prior art search. But what exactly is a prior art search? It is a meticulous examination of existing literature, including patents, technical papers, manuals, and more, to determine the novelty and non-obviousness of an invention. An invention must fulfill these criteria to be eligible for a patent:
- Patentable subject matter.
- Novelty – it is not already disclosed in the prior art.
- Non-obviousness – it is not an obvious combination of pre-existing inventions.
Copperpod’s prior art search services are designed to uncover whether your invention, or specific elements of it, meet these requirements. For new inventions, our search helps gauge the likelihood of receiving a patent. For existing patents, we assist in challenging their validity through processes like Inter Partes Review at the Patent Trial and Appellate Board.
