Patentability Search, also referred to as a novelty assessment Search, is done before filing a patent application in the patent office so as to check whether features of the inventive step have already been disclosed before in one or more published documents (Patent or Non-patent Literature or both).

Our patentability searches are conducted on a Worldwide basis, with special attention to regions including US, Europe, Asia and other foreign jurisdictions. We also thoroughly search Non-Patent Literature, including related electronically available journals, websites, technical literature, manuals, books, articles, and blogs.
