Patentability, Novelty Searches

A patentability or novelty search conducted by TPR will help you to determine if your idea is new or non-obvious and ultimately patentable. We’ll tailor the search approach to meet your unique needs and budget, and investigate the patent and non-patent literature to shed light on the novelty of the invention. For each patentability search we combine our subject-matter expertise, knowledge of patents and well-honed search skills to deliver the highest quality search results and meet your deadlines.

TPR provides a tailored approach that is most effective for your given technology and budget:

• Conducted by our U.S. based search experts
• Worldwide online databases for patent and non-patent literature
• Use of USPTO’s EAST search tool for review of patent drawings, etc.
• Keyword and classification-based searching, plus subject-specific coding/indexing

For ongoing volume invention disclosures, ask about our pre-filing search pricing packages.
