Patentability (Novelty) Search
Find out whether your invention is new before you invest in drafting and filing.
The question it answers
“Is our invention novel and inventive over what is already published anywhere in the world?”
We search worldwide patent and non-patent literature for prior art closest to your invention, then compare each key feature to show what appears to be new. It helps you decide whether to file, and how to frame claims around genuine points of novelty.
Who it's for
- Inventors and startups before filing
- Corporate IP teams triaging invention disclosures
