Traditionally, Patent Information Systems are accessed at the time of drafting & filing a patent application, to find out if a patent is novel. Nowadays, it has become a major source of technological & competitive intelligence.

 

The single way of finding out if an invention is novel is to do a Prior art search. Prior art is simply any evidence that validates that your invention is known. It is not necessary that the Prior art exists physically or is commercially available. It is enough that someone, somewhere, at any time prior to your invention has set a priority date on his invention. Setting a priority date is as simple as a provisional description or complete specification of the invention that is similar to your invention.

IMPORTANCE OF PRIOR ART SEARCH:

  • Researchers: It can be really beneficial for the researchers to conduct a prior art search before initiating a research project as it not only makes one aware of current developments, it allows one to base the next level of research on the analysis of the current R&D. It can also help find partners to do a collaborative research project.
  • Product Companies: Doing a prior art search allows the product companies to know what their competitors are working on “under the hood” much before a product is officially launched in the market. That intelligence is indispensable and can bring in a competitive edge for the companies.
  • Startups: For the Innovators, conducting a prior art search, ensures that they’re able to successfully commercialise the invention. The invention, if patentable (with the patent application underway) also helps the innovators while raising funds as the investors value IP as asset really highly.
