Patentability searches and opinions

Our US IP team provides patentability searches and opinions to support patent application filing decisions. Our patentability opinions evaluate whether an invention meets the requirements for US patent protection, including novelty, non-obviousness, and subject-matter eligibility.

Patentability searches and analyses

Our U.S. IP team conducts thorough patentability searches and prepares analyses, if desired, to evaluate the likelihood of obtaining patent protection for a given invention. These services identify relevant prior art, may assess novelty and nonobviousness/inventive step, and may provide practical recommendations for patent filing strategies.

Tools for decision making

For companies, patentability searches and opinions are critical tools for making informed R&D decisions. They help determine whether to invest in pursuing patent rights, provide insight into the competitive landscape, and ensure resources are directed toward commercially valuable innovations.
