Patentability Searches
Why should you spend money on patentability searches if you can get a search report from the patent office?
Patentability requirements are slightly different in each country and always comprise novelty and non obviousness. Searching for novelty or inventive step involves patent and non patent literature and it is crucial to understand how and where to look for those.The purpose of the patentability search is to be sure that your invention is new.
