Patent Search

Patent Validation/Invalidation :

A patent validity/patent invalidity search is conducted by a client who is concerned about his product infringing a particular patent. These searches are important to a patentee from a commercial point of view.

Whenever a company is concerned of its product infringing another company's patented product/process or another company alleges infringement of a patent, a patent invalidation search can be performed to invalidate the claims of the granted patent. Patent Invalidation Search is performed to identify documents or prior use that may reduce the claims of a granted patent, thus invalidating it. The aim of the search is to uncover prior art or prior use which limits the scope of the granted patent. The invalidation search is a comprehensive search carried out by expert professionals to successfully invalidate patents. Detailed research is conducted to determine whether the claims of a particular patent are valid or invalid when analyzed and compared to the prior art available on the date of filing.

At Intepat IP, we understand your patents from a commercial viewpoint and have expertise in conducting a number of Patent Validity/ Invalidity Searches. We conduct prior-art searches in subscribed databases, gather information from prosecution history or file wrapper and relevant literature. We go beyond simple claim comparison and understand the entire specification as it relates to the claims at issue. Additionally, physical embodiments of the products and evidence of sale and public use may be provided wherever retrievable. Besides conducting a comprehensive validity/invalidity search, we also advise clients on the right IP strategy to be undertaken based on these search results.

Our search report typically consists of search report, claim chat and electronic copies of cited prior art. We provide clients with expert analysis as to possible prior art that can be used to invalidate/validate a patent. We deliver the invalidity search report within 10 to 15 days.
