A novelty search is a worldwide patent search that is carried out without any time or regional restrictions on the enquiry. The first step is to check whether another publication already exists that is similar or identical to your own idea. Professional patent databases also help to identify, analyse and evaluate the relevant prior art very efficiently.

Increase the quality of your patent application with a professional patent search for novelty

In addition to providing answers to these fundamental questions, search results also regularly help to raise the quality of a patent application to a much higher level.

If the obvious prior art is already known through a patent search with regard to novelty before the application is filed,

• avoid unnecessary patenting costs,
• reduces the risk of rejection of your patent application,
• reduce time, effort and costs in the audit process,
• the application can emphasise the distinguishing inventive elements in a much more focused way,
• the application can better prepare the argumentation for the necessary inventive step and
• the broadest possible scope of protection can be formulated for you with less risk.

Our experienced and qualified searchers are so-called Qualified Patent Information Professionals (QPIP™). A QPIP is the title used by certified patent searchers and analysts who demonstrate their core competencies in searching and analysing patent information as well as their knowledge of patent law.
