Patentability search, as the name suggests, is a process conducted before filing a patent application to assess whether the invention is new and non-obvious in light of existing prior art. The main objective behind conducting a patentability search is to avoid unnecessary costs and efforts on drafting and prosecuting a patent application that may eventually get rejected due to lack of novelty or inventive steps. This helps in making informed decisions early in the patenting process and ensures that the patent filing cost is invested wisely.
The key aspects of a patentability search are identifying relevant prior art and gaining insights to draft strong and enforceable claims. Here, it is important that the professionals conducting the search understand the technical nuances of the invention and its potential variations, so they can guide the applicant in refining the invention and formulating claims that maximize the chances of grant while minimizing future prosecution hurdles.
