PATENT SEARCH

It is often advisable to obtain a patent search before applying for attaining a patent.

Introduction

The world of innovation is a landscape dotted with the footprints of human creativity and ambition. In this expansive field, a patent search is a crucial compass that points towards the path of success for an invention. This intricate process involves navigating the labyrinth of existing patents and applications and other references, assessing your invention’s uniqueness, and confirming its eligibility for patentability. This task demands professional expertise, and that’s where The Law Offices of Konrad Sherinian, LLC steps in, guiding you deftly through this terrain.

Patent Search Explained

At its core, a patent search is a meticulous exercise undertaken to investigate the vast databases of patents and patent applications. This comprehensive examination serves two primary purposes. Firstly, it helps determine the novelty of your invention – whether it is truly unique or if it has been previously patented or publicly disclosed. Secondly, it aids in evaluating the ‘non-obviousness’ of your invention – a critical criterion for patentability.

Conducting a patent search is not a straightforward task. It involves probing a plethora of global databases, each housing complex, and technical documents spanning many industries. It’s akin to locating a unique piece of a puzzle in a gigantic set. That’s why expert guidance from seasoned professionals, like our team at The Law Offices of Konrad Sherinian, LLC, can be instrumental in executing this task effectively and efficiently.
