Patentability Search
Einfolge’ s patentability search involves conducting a search of prior art, including published patent applications, issued patents, and any other published documents, to determine the patentability of the inventive concept and whether it is worth pursuing a patent application. The main purpose of the search is to assess the likelihood of securing patent protection for an invention.

Since filing and prosecuting a patent application can be costly, the search can help determine whether it is worth the expense and effort to file a patent for the idea and whether it is worth fully developing and marketing your concept.
During a patentability search, Einfolge’s searchers use various databases, including patent and non-patent literature databases, to locate prior art related to the invention. Once the search is complete, the results are analyzed to determine the relevance of the prior art to the invention and assess its potential patentability.
The results of the search can help you make an informed decision about whether to proceed with filing a patent application and can also help refine your invention to make it more novel and non-obvious, thereby increasing your chances of obtaining a patent.
Importance of Patentability Search during Prosecution
During the patent prosecution process, conducting a patentability search can help you identify prior art, including existing patents and other published documents that may be like the invention at hand. This can assist you in developing a more robust patent application and crafting more specific and narrow claims, thereby increasing the likelihood of a patent grant and identifying potential obstacles to patentability.
A novelty search can also help you avoid spending time and resources on an invention that is unlikely to be patented by identifying potential barriers to patentability early in the process. Our IP experts can assist you in avoiding costly litigation in the future by reducing the likelihood of infringing on existing patents.
